What is my motorcycle accident claim worth?

The value of your Memphis motorcycle accident claim may vary drastically depending on a number of factors. For this reason, it is impossible to say what your claim may be worth without completing a full case analysis. The extent of your injuries, the amount of medical bills, the affect your injuries will have on your livelihood and your ability to enjoy your life, any psychological effects of the accident, and a number of other issues must be looked at in order to determine the value of your case. An experienced Memphis motorcycle accident attorney can help make this determination.

Who can I bring a lawsuit against, if I was injured in a Memphis motorcycle accident?

You may be able to bring a claim against the negligent driver who caused the accident. Or, depending on the particular incident, you may be able to bring a claim against the manufacturer of the motorcycle for a design or manufacturing defect. You may even be able to bring a claim against the city or county if poor road design or a similar situation caused the accident.

What if I wasn’t wearing a helmet?

Even if you were not wearing a helmet, you may still be able to bring a lawsuit or claim against the person who caused the accident.

What are some of the types of injuries which may occur in a motorcycle accident?

There are a number of serious injuries that may occur as the result of a motorcycle accident.

What can an attorney do to help me?

After a motorcycle accident, you will need to file an insurance claim to receive financial compensation for your medical expenses and property damage as well. The insurance company may try to lay the blame of the accident on your shoulders or may offer you a settlement which is less than what your claim is actually worth. The insurance company may also try to delay or deny your payment. A Memphis motorcycle accident lawyer can begin negotiations with the insurance company to help you get the money you deserve. At times, simply having an aggressive and reputable attorney by your side will mean that the insurance company will get their act together and be more amenable to paying your claim.
