Motorcycle Accident Attorney
Whether you’re riding for pleasure or for your commute, motorcycles are an exciting, yet potentially hazardous method of traveling. Fortunately, most motorcycle drivers are licensed and skilled users of their vehicles. They practice the appropriate safety procedures and they exercise caution while driving. Nevertheless, accidents can still happen as a result of road conditions, city layout, and the negligence of other drivers. If you’re feeling overwhelmed and uncertain because of an accident, you can benefit from talking to a motorcycle accident attorney.
Every motorcycle accident is different. Sometimes a seemingly minor collision can leave you with injuries that worsen over time. This creates a lasting and negative impact on your quality of life. Motorcycle accidents often represent serious pain and injury for those involved, even resulting in traumatic brain injury, permanent disability or death. In more severe cases, accident victims may experience a loss of independence as the injury requires them to enter assisted living or remain in the hospital for months on end.
In addition to the physical pain, there are other negative side effects of an accident. Medical expenses quickly become unmanageable, particularly when you are left to deal with lost income as well as future lost wages. In some cases, the effects of a single accident could leave financial burdens that last a lifetime. Worst of all, there is no guarantee that you will be able to return to your former profession following an accident. This can further impact your financial status, as well as the financial security of those who may depend on you. Your motorcycle accident lawyer will help you document and substantiate these losses during the settlement or trial process.
Road to Recovery
Collisions with other drivers will eventually involve insurance companies. While individual agents may be sympathetic to your injuries, ultimately the insurance company wants to place the blame on you. California is a shared fault state, which means you will only receive compensation in proportion to the degree of fault the other party possesses. In the absence of traffic cameras and witnesses, the case can become a real he-said-she-said. Traffic law is a tough field and proving negligence is difficult for even the most skilled motorcycle accident attorney.
