Motorcycle Accident Claim Process

Motorcycle accident claims have a similar procedural timeline as other accident claims.  The timeline has two phases: pre-litigation and litigation.  The steps in the pre-litigation process are:

♦   Receive & complete medical treatment

♦   Collect, sort, and organize medical and other records/evidence

♦   Draft and serve a Demand letter on the insurance company

♦   Begin and pursue settlement negotiations

If, for any reason, the case cannot be settled favorably during the pre-litigation phase of the claim, then you must file a lawsuit.  From that point forward, lawyers label your claim as a “litigation” case.  The steps in the litigation timeline are:

♦   File legal complaint and serve it on the defendant

♦   Answer written discovery questions

♦   Take necessary depositions

♦   Engage in and defend any motions’ practice

♦   Conduct trial with related preparation

There are hundreds of tasks and steps embedded throughout those timelines.  This is a full time job, which is what we do for a living.  You have to either find time in your schedule to take on this second job or outsource it to someone else, like one of our Montebello motorcycle accident lawyers.

Motorcycle Accident Damages

Motorcycle accident claimants have the legal right to make a claim for specified categories of damages.  Damages is the legal word for things you have suffered or lost as a result of a negligently induced personal injury incident.

The damages you can recover fall into these categories:

♦   Medical expenses, including past and future

♦   Lost income and wages, including past and future

♦   Pain, suffering, and mental anguish, and other emotional losses

♦   Damaged personal property, such as to your vehicle

Even on simple items, such as medical bills, the insurance company will fight you.  The insurance company, for example, quite often argues that your doctors charged you too much for the treatment they provided you.  Sounds crazy, right?  But they will do it, and unless you know the case law and have the experts to push back against that argument, you won’t get a full recovery.

Through over a decade of dedicated personal injury experience, we know the arguments that the insurance company will launch at you.  More importantly, we know how to beat those arguments.  Through diligent claim workup, we consistently recover big settlements for motorcycle accident victims like you.

Motorcycle Accident Injury Values

The two injury factors that have the largest impact on your accident claim value are:

♦   Type of injury you suffered

♦   Location of the injury on your body

Let’s look at examples for each factor.

Type of injury: broken bones usually, but not always, get you more money than a soft tissue injury.  Why not always? Because a soft tissue injury to a major body part, such as your lower back, can and likely will cause you more life challenges than a broken pinky finger.  That’s why you must analyze the two components (injury type + injury location) together to get a good picture of your claim value.

Location of injury: a good example to illustrate this factor is a herniated disc.  A herniated disc to your lumbar spine will usually be worth more than a herniated disc to your thoracic spine (the middle of your back).  There are a collection of reasons why that is, but the importance of injury location in determining claim value has proven true over hundreds and hundreds of claims that our lawyers have reviewed.  This is also why insurance companies often argue that your neck injury is really an upper back injury.  On a deep strategic level, they know what they’re doing, and that you don’t realize the impact of their games until it’s too late.

That’s also why having a good lawyer makes all the difference.  We know exactly what the insurance company is trying to do, and we often call the adjusters out on their games without hesitation.  When they see and hear that we know what they’re doing, it puts a hard stop to the games and lets us fast-forward to meaningful settlement discussions for you.

Our verdict and settlement page speaks to how good we are at doing that for you.  Of course, past results don’t guarantee future outcomes, but they do let you know what we are capable of doing for accident injury victims like you.

We have a no-fee guarantee, which means you don’t pay us anything unless and until we recover money for you from the insurance company.
