Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
Motorcycle Accident Attorney - Frekhtman & Associates
Motorcycles, unlike auto mobiles, lack the weight and safety features which prevent injury to individuals who are involved. Air bags and/or seatbelts are not available to offer any type of protection in the unfortunate event of an accident. This fact results in about 80 % of motorcycle accidents that end in either death or serious injury.
Recently studies have shown that about 70% of accidents that involved a motorcycle were the result of auto mobile drivers not being able to see the motorcyclist until it was too late. Other factors may also add to causes of a motorcycle accident:
- Driving at unsafe speeds
- Poor and/or limited visibility
- Influence of alcohol and/or drugs
- Poor Road Conditions
- Skill of the rider
- Mother Nature “a.k.a” The Weather
If someone is involved in the unfortunate mishaps of an accident, the victims can have some control of their destiny and ensuring their rights and interests are protected, by working with an experienced accident lawyer.
If a motorcycle rider has been injured in an accident that was the cause of someone else’s carelessness and/or recklessness, they may be able to recover such damages like pain and suffering, property loss, lost wages, and medical costs.
The need to be examined thoroughly by a medical physician immediately is absolutely mandatory. Sometimes, even injuries that seem very minor could develop or grow into extremely major health issues that could catch up with someone later on in life. Whomever was at fault in the accident, that persons insurance company is totally responsible for picking up all the costs to the victim that were a result of the accident.
Victims of motorcycle accidents and the families of victims who have unfortunately died in serious accidents must deal with a very challenging situation, which seems to be worsened by having to deal with difficult insurance laws as well as legal demands. Insurance companies first and foremost focus on the money they have to pay you and your needs will follow in second lead. Most of the time an insurance company will offer a settlement amount to the victim that sounds appealing at first but no matter what the amount is, it is in your very best interest to contact a lawyer who specializes in motorcycle accidents and will therefore be sure to put your needs before the insurance company’s. Before you decide to come to an agreement and participate in any conversations with the insurance company on anything, it is best that you speak to a qualified, experienced and skilled lawyer first.
You need your own team of people that are on your side since the insurance companies have their own team of supporters such as agents, adjustors, investigators and legal help to make sure they get the best possible deal out of every incident as well.
In the unfortunate event that you do get into a motorcycle accident with someone who does not have insurance on their vehicle or if their insurance does not cover all your damages, you may also be entitled to collect uninsurance and/or uninsurance.
Negligence is the failure of a vehicle operator to exercise due care which resulted in an accident, injury or death, when dealing with motorcycle accidents. It is a very hard allegation to prove, but experienced lawyers that are skillful and smart should have no problems showing negligence by interviewing witnesses, correct documentation and compiling a case that will meet the correct standards for negligence. Also, if the accident happened due to a defect on the actual motorcycle, you may also be entitled to receive punitive damages from the supplier and/or manufacturer.
Since most motorcycle accidents are very complex and more difficult to handle, it is imperative that you act quickly and find a lawyer to address any questions and/or issues that probably will arise so that you may get all the help that you are deserved.
