Why choose a law firm that specializes in motorcycle accident cases?
We have the experience, resources, and skills to navigate the complex accident dynamics that occur with motorcycle personal injury claims. Such as, vehicle visibility, road conditions, and the unique ways motorcycles interact with vehicles. Proving fault can be challenging for an attorney who is not familiar with these nuances.
An often overlooked component involving motorcycle accident claims is perception bias. Motorcyclists often face biased perceptions from insurance companies, juries, and the public. The stereotype is that motorcyclists are reckless. Overcoming these biases requires demonstrating that the rider is responsible and the accident was not their fault. You can’t afford to minimize the bias or begin on a bad foot. We understand this at JH Law Group and are ready to fight for what you deserve.
Other motorcycle accident claim complexities:
- Injury Severity
Motorcycle accidents often result in more severe injuries, sometimes catastrophic injuries, compared to car accidents due to the lack of physical protection. These injuries can include extensive road rash, fractures, and traumatic brain injuries. The severity of injuries can make it harder to quantify damages and may require detailed medical testimony.
- Damage to the Motorcycle
Determining the extent of damage to the motorcycle and how it impacts your claim can be complex. Insurers may undervalue or dispute the cost of repairs or the total loss value of the motorcycle, requiring thorough documentation and expert testimony.
- Helmet Laws and Compliance
The issue of helmet use and compliance with local helmet laws can influence a case. If you were not wearing a helmet, the defense might argue that it contributed to the severity of your injuries. Demonstrating that your injuries would have occurred regardless of helmet use is often necessary.
- Comparative Negligence
In some cases, the issue of comparative negligence can come into play. If you are found partially at fault for the accident, your compensation may be reduced proportionally. Navigating comparative negligence requires a strong legal strategy to minimize any potential reductions in compensation.
- Long-Term Impacts and Future Costs
Motorcycle injuries often lead to long-term consequences, including chronic pain, disabilities, and a significant impact on your ability to work. Accurately projecting future medical bills for ongoing medical care, lost wages, pain and suffering, and diminished quality of life is essential for a fair compensation settlement.
This list is not exhaustive. Navigating these unique issues requires a knowledgeable and experienced motorcycle accident attorney who can effectively address these challenges and advocate for your rights.
However, at JH Law Group, we operate on a contingency fee basis, meaning we don't earn a penny until you do. We understand that your situation is urgent. We are committed to fighting for your rights. We will work to get you the compensation you deserve.
