In order to establish fault after a motorcycle accident, it is critical to conduct an investigation as soon as possible. Skid marks on the road, the damage to your bike and the vehicle that hit you, and other forms of evidence can all disappear if not photographed and collected promptly. In addition, it may be necessary to subpoena the driver’s phone records or obtain a copy of the accident report to help prove that the driver was distracted or drunk at the time of the accident. There are many other ways to prove fault as well, and the key is to conduct a prompt and thorough investigation.

Determining fault in an accident requires a thorough legal analysis that takes into consideration all of the facts and circumstances involved. As a result, the only way to truly know whether you were at fault is to speak with a qualified attorney. But, even if you were partially at fault, you may still be entitled to a partial financial recovery.

The decision to settle is up to you. While our goal in every case is to settle for maximum value as quickly as possible, you get to choose whether to accept a settlement offer or take your case to trial. We will give you the information you need to make an informed decision. If you are not satisfied with the insurance company’s best offer, we will fight aggressively to enforce your rights at trial.

Each case is unique, and determining how much you can recover requires a careful assessment of the extent of your physical and psychological injuries, as well as the consequences your injuries are likely to have in the future. How much are your outstanding medical bills? What type(s) of ongoing treatment will you need? How long will you be out of work? What other ways have your injuries impacted your life? These are all critical questions that need to be answered when assessing your claim for financial compensation.

It could take as little as a couple of months, or it could take a year or longer. The answer to this question depends in large part on how reasonable the insurance company is willing to be with its settlement offers. If we can negotiate a fair settlement, your case could be over relatively quickly. If we need to go to trial, it will take a while longer.

If you need help covering your bills while your claim is pending, there are options available. For one, we may be able to work with your medical providers to delay payment until your claim is resolved. Another option is to consider pre-settlement funding from a reputable provider. Many providers offer funds that only need to be repaid if you win, though you will need to make sure you understand all of the costs involved. We can help you assess your options if this is something that you need to consider.
