Motorcyclists Have the Right to Request Support After a Collision

Motorcyclists are considerably more vulnerable on the road than their peers in cars. Unfortunately, drivers who don’t look out for motorcyclists can cause serious accidents that cause more damage to motorcyclists due to their greater exposure to the road.  However, hope isn’t lost for Indiana motorcyclists. If a motorcyclist like you believes that negligence contributed to their accident, Indiana’s civil statutes allow them to take legal action against that bad actor.  Insurance claims and personal injury claims both allow injured motorcyclists to recover loss-based damages from the people – or institutions – responsible for their accidents. An experienced motorcycle accident lawyer in Terre Haute can help someone like you file a claim before your right to do so passes you by.

We Encourage You to Call a Terre Haute Motorcycle Accident Lawyer ASAP

Unfortunately, you only have two years to file a motorcycle accident claim after your initial crash. Indiana’s personal injury statute of limitations tries to keep the cases that come before the state’s civil court as up-to-date and factually accurate as possible. Many judges believe the evidence that’s more than two years old no longer accurately reflects the nature of a crash. How are you supposed to stay on top of your case’s statute of limitations if you’re dealing with serious injuries? When in doubt, ask for help from a motorcycle accident lawyer. Our team has decades of combined experience that we can use to:

• Find the evidence needed to establish your right to a case
• Calculate the value of the claim you’re entitled to
• Bring your case forward in civil court
• Arrange private settlement negotiations between you and a liable party
• Represent your best interests in and out of civil court

When you meet with our staff for a free case consultation, you can discuss our full suite of services. We offer our services on contingency, so neither your first consultation nor the subsequent representation costs you a dime upfront.

We Can Prevent Insurance Claims Adjusters From Misrepresenting Your Losses

Our expertise isn’t confined to the courtroom. We know you have the right to file an insurance claim after a serious accident. However, insurance claims adjusters want to do everything in their power to deny you the support you need to pay your bills. Many will:

• Ghost you after your initial conversation
• Press you for a written or recorded statement about your losses
• Offer you a lowball settlement without considering the full extent of your losses
• Refuse to acknowledge the real value of your expenses in negotiations
• Deny your claim based on minor technical mistakes

If you involve an attorney in crafting your insurance claim, we can help you avoid an insurance company’s bad faith tactics.

We Build Motorcycle Accident Cases on Concrete Evidence of Negligence

Whether you’re filing an insurance claim or a personal injury claim, you establish your right to accident damages with evidence. That evidence needs to prove that:

• Someone else owed you a duty of care at the time of your crash
• Someone else’s negligence violated the duty of care they owed you
• That violated duty caused your accident
• You suffered significant economic losses as a result of your accident

Our team works with experienced investigators to find the evidence needed to make your case. You can ask a Terre Haute, IN, motorcycle accident attorney how photos, videos, witness statements, electronic data, and physical debris factor into your fight for fair compensation.

We Advocate for You In and Out of Civil Court

Filing a motorcycle accident claim doesn’t lock you into a set course of legal action. You have the right to work with our attorneys to arrange private settlement negotiations between yourself and the party liable for your losses. These negotiations can conclude considerably faster than a traditional trial. They also don’t require you to argue your case in front of a judge. However, it can be difficult to make someone meet you for private settlement negotiations. Comparatively, a judge can issue a summons demanding that someone join you in court. That’s one benefit of going to trial – a judge’s authority lends a sense of control to your fight for financial support. You can discuss which of these means of fighting for support best suits your quest for motorcycle accident compensation when you meet with our staff for a free case consultation.

We Keep Our Settlement Calculations as Transparent as Possible

We believe motorcycle accident survivors in Terre Haute deserve compensation based on their economic and non-economic losses. That’s why our team accounts for such a wide range of losses when establishing the value of our clients’ cases. You can count on us to argue for your right to damages based on your:

• Emergency medical expenses
• Ambulance bills
• Lost wages
• Property damage, repairs, and replacements
• Emotional distress
• Reduced quality of life
• Pain and suffering
