Motorcycle drivers have the same rights and responsibilities as other drivers on the road. Unfortunately for motorcyclists a lot of other drivers on the road don't view it this way. Motorcyclists have a much larger chance of getting sideswiped or run off the road because of another driver's negligence and inattentiveness.
Thankfully, in most accidents people are not seriously injured; however, even non life threatening injuries can result in thousands of dollars of medical bills. Medical bills that would not have been incurred were it not for the negligence which caused the accident.
Insurance companies like to undervalue claims by injured individuals because it keeps their pockets lined, and because most people don't want to deal with the hassle of the claims process. This is where attorneys experienced in motorcycle accident litigation will level the playing field.
If you have been injured in an accident and have yet to retain an attorney to work on your behalf then don't delay and contact an attorney today. If you have contacted an attorney make sure they keep you apprised of your case and that the two of you have open lines of communication.
