How to Recover from a Motorcycle Accident
Motorcycle accident attorneys in Evansville can primarily help you recover from your accident if you take action within the deadline established by Indiana Code section 34-11-2-4. You have no more than two years to find the evidence necessary to meet the state’s burden of proof and hold a named party accountable for your financial strife.
With the deadline in mind, our team recommends that you get in touch with an attorney as soon as possible after an accident. We can help you formulate a unique path toward recovery that prioritizes your comfort and Financial needs.
The steps we often recommend that motorcycle accident survivors take include the following:
Go to the Hospital
It does not matter if you feel perfectly okay after a motorcycle accident. There is a good chance you’re contending with injuries that have not yet made themselves known. Shock can obscure even severe conditions that may later impact your mobility or mental fortitude.
The sooner you can get to a doctor, the faster you can assess what impact a motorcycle accident has had on your long-term health. Moreover, emergency room providers can take notes about the severity of your injuries that you may later use when demanding compensation for your losses from the party responsible for your crash.
Contact an Evansville Motorcycle Accident Attorney
As mentioned, you are working on a tight timeline when taking action after a motorcycle accident. A member of our team can meet with you in the emergency room to discuss the nature of your crash and what action you want to take.
Our team can then return to your accident scene to gather evidence before insurance claims adjusters or related parties can clear it away. These efforts can make it easier for you to assign liability for your losses in the long run. It also allows us to conduct an initial assessment of your case’s total value.
That said, you have until your statute of limitations expires to bring information about your case forward to a civil judge. You can contact our attorneys at any point in that timeline to discuss the representation you need.
Connect With an Insurance Claims Adjuster
Everyone on the road in Indiana is obligated to obtain at least the state’s minimum liability insurance. The party responsible for your motorcycle accident likely has coverage. So long as they do, you have the right to file an insurance claim requesting motorcycle accident damages.
What can you do if an insurance provider refuses to acknowledge the reality of your accident, though? Our Evansville motorcycle accident attorneys can work with you to challenge an insurance company’s bad faith conduct, appeal a wrongfully denied claim, and even sue an unresponsive party.
If the party responsible for your accident does not have insurance or is otherwise underinsured, filing a personal entry claim against that party can help you get the compensation you need to recover.
Discuss Accident Liability
Holding a particular party responsible for your motorcycle accident requires you to meet Indiana’s burden of proof. Meeting this burden means that you should pull from a catalog of evidence going into detail about the negligence that led to your accident.
Our team does not make you re-traumatize yourself to build a motorcycle accident claim. We can return to the scene of your accident to bring forward physical debris and video footage. We can also take photos and connect with bystanders to request that they contribute their testimony to your case.
All of these efforts help us identify a party responsible for your accident. That party may be a fellow motorcycle list, a motorist, a truck driver, or even your bike’s manufacturer. We can break down unique complexities when assigning liability in your case so you better understand who you can demand compensation from.
