Who Bears the Blame for a Motorcycle Accident?

The question of blame after a motorcycle accident hinges almost entirely on evidence. If you want to hold a certain party accountable for your roadway losses, you need to bring forward evidence proving that they contributed to your losses in one way or another. This evidence can and should be varied – but you don’t have to collect it alone. When you work with the motorcycle accident attorneys in New Castle, we can help you collect evidence like the following:

• Video footage of your accident
• Statements from motorcycle manufacturers
• Statements from accident witnesses
• Debris from the accident scene
• Expert witness input

We can then use that evidence to hold a range of parties, from a motorcycle manufacturer to a negligent motorist, liable for your losses. You can count on Vaughan & Vaughan to walk you through the analytical process so you can better understand why we believe a certain party may bear the responsibility for your losses.

How Can You Financially Recover from a Motorcycle Accident?

If you want to financially recover from a motorcycle accident, you can:

File an Insurance Claim

If the party that hit your motorcycle has insurance, you may have the right to file a claim with their provider. In doing so, you can secure some compensation for your most immediate losses. That said, beware of an insurance provider’s biases. These providers work as companies, not as benefactors in the wake of your tragedy. An insurance claims adjuster may try to undervalue your motorcycle accident losses when first assessing them. A provider may attempt to deny your claim out of a bias against motorcyclists. Both of these practices fall under the umbrella of bad faith behaviors and may allow you to sue the insurance provider in response. If you’re struggling to secure the compensation you deserve from a liable party’s insurance provider, talk to Vaughan & Vaughan. Our New Castle, IN, motorcycle accident lawyers can communicate with an insurance provider on your behalf.

File a Personal Injury Claim

According to Indiana Code section 34-11-2-4, you have until the second anniversary of your motorcycle accident to file a personal injury claim against the party liable for your losses. Doing so allows you to either negotiate for a fair motorcycle accident settlement or initiate a civil trial. This process can subsequently secure you compensation for your losses.

Do You Have to Go to Trial to Win Motorcycle Accident Compensation?

You do not necessarily have to go to trial to win a motorcycle accident case, let alone secure motorcycle crash compensation. If you submit a personal injury claim before your statute of limitations expires, you gain the right to enter settlement negotiations with the party liable for your losses. You and your representative can meet with the liable party in an out-of-court environment to discuss the nature of your accident. So long as the liable party is open to accepting some portion of the blame for your losses, you can civilly request compensation.  You may have to forgo some of the compensation you otherwise deserve. That said, you can resolve your case more quickly than you otherwise would. Unfortunately, motorcycle accident settlement negotiations only work if the liable party acknowledges that they engaged in negligence or were otherwise in the wrong. Parties who refuse to take on any of the blame for a dangerous accident can force your case to go to trial. You can discuss such a situation with our attorneys when first breaking down your case.

Do You Have to Work With an Attorney to Win Motorcycle Accident Compensation?

Indiana allows motorcycle accident survivors to represent their own best interests in civil court. That said, doing so isn’t always the best idea. If you don’t have a legal degree, navigating the complexities of civil law can rapidly become frustrating. Contending with those complexities on top of injuries, upcoming bills, and other losses can leave you in an uncomfortable bind. Even so, many Indiana motorcyclists opt to represent themselves because they’re afraid of the impact legal fees might have on their already-fraught finances. Vaughan & Vaughan understands that choice and works to mitigate those fears. Our attorneys operate on contingency. If you want to secure legal representation, you can do so through Vaughan & Vaughan without incurring any legal fees. We only get paid for the services we provide you if we win you a fair settlement.
