Riding a motorcycle offers a sense of excitement and freedom that driving a car simply can’t provide. However, there’s also no denying how dangerous motorcycles can be. Accidents can still happen even when riders wear the proper safety gear and exercise caution. There’s only so much a rider can do to keep themselves safe, and they can’t control drivers on the road. If you or a loved one has been involved in a motorcycle accident, call us today at Herschensohn Law Firm, PLLC to work with our Lewis County, WA motorcycle accident lawyer!
Motorcycle accidents are often caused by the negligence or recklessness of other drivers. Actions like failing to yield, speeding, driving under the influence, or distracted driving can all cause an accident. These actions can especially be problematic at night, as riders will have less visibility. All collisions are dangerous, but when they involve a motorcycle, the results can be catastrophic. Riders have much less protection, and when they’re struck by a car, they can quickly go flying, hitting the hard pavement, resulting in damages like broken bones, road rash, and even traumatic brain injuries in some cases.
A victim always has a right to seek out compensation, but the process can be difficult. Dealing with the insurance companies can be a major hurdle, as these companies often have a bias against riders. Insurance companies often assume that the rider is the one at fault or that they contributed to the accident in some way. This bias means insurance companies are more likely to deny a claim or offer a lower amount.
Our experienced Lewis County motorcycle accident lawyer understands the tactics that insurance companies use. He also understands how gathering the right evidence can create a strong case that can easily shut down these tactics.
When dealing with a motorcycle accident claim, it’s recommended that you work with our experienced attorney. Experience makes the difference, especially when dealing with the insurance companies.
