Motorcyclists are at an Unfair Disadvantage

 
Motorcyclists are much more likely to be injured in a vehicle accident because of their decreased visibility and protection. When compared to occupants of cars on a per mile driven basis, motorcyclists are five times more likely to be injured in an accident and more than 26 times more likely to die upon impact.
 
Despite their reduced visibility relative to cars because of their smaller size, motorists’ constantly fail to notice motorcyclists on the road. Motorcycle and scooter riders have the same legal rights as those enjoyed by car and truck drivers, but unfortunately, prejudice and negative attitudes exist against motorcycle riders. Police officers and even adjusters are predisposed to find motorcyclists at fault when involved in a collision.

Why You Need a Motorcycle Attorney

 
The other driver’s insurance company will try and promise that they will pay you adequate compensation after they finish their investigation. Do not be misled. This is merely an attempt for them to help build their case against you, either by delaying conducting their own investigation or by using your recorded statement against you.
 
In delaying their own investigation, adjusters make money off of claims that have not settled yet because they buy time in not having to pay out immediately. Generally, what happens is that they will make you an offer for pennies on every dollar resulting in an unfairly low settlement. Also, in procuring a recorded statement from you, the other party’s insurance company cleverly disguises misleading questions to have you second-guess your version of events. Eventually, pinning liability on you.
