3 Ways a Personal Injury Attorney Can Help After Sustaining a Motorcycle Accident Injury

February 18, 2020 by 1seodev

With warm weather right around the corner, motorcyclists will soon be wheeling out their bikes from the garage and hitting the road to enjoy one of America’s most beloved past times — motorcycle riding. As the number of households owning a motorcycle rises, there’s been an increased focus on safety among riders, including training courses and the Share the Road movement. Despite these efforts, unfortunately, motorcyclists are still at a higher risk for injuries and fatalities from an accident than other motorists.

If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle accident in Pennsylvania, there could be a lot of complex legal issues that only a trusted motorcycle accident lawyer near Reading can help you navigate.

Calculating Available Insurance to Compensate You

When a motorcyclist suffers an injury due to the negligence of another driver or pedestrian, it can be an overwhelming ordeal to determine which insurance company should pay your medical bills and compensate you for your injuries. Motorcycle insurance policies issued in Pennsylvania do not cover medical bills incurred from a crash. If you bought personal health insurance yourself or through employment, you’d submit all medical bills to it. This process means you’d have to pay for the deductible, co-pays for medical doctors, and prescriptions. After that, an attorney can assist you in moving forward with a personal injury lawsuit in the State of Pennsylvania against the driver who hit you.

Determining Cause of Accident

Often in the event of a crash involving a motorcycle, the other driver will claim they didn’t see it and therefore assume the cyclist did something wrong to cause a crash. It’s crucial to get copies of the investigative file and speak with witnesses to prove who exactly was at fault. It might also be necessary to hire an accident reconstructionist if it’s not clear how the crash occurred. If the other driver caused the accident, a motorcycle injury attorney could help prove that and protect your rights.

Redressing Jury Biases

It’s no secret that the general public feels strongly about motorcycles and motorcyclists. Some people think that these vehicles are inherently dangerous and have no business being on the road. Others place the blame on the riders themselves. But motorcyclists have the same rights as all other motorists on the road, and when they sustain an injury, they have the same right to recover. If your case is tried in front of a jury (meaning it doesn’t settle), a motorcycle injury attorney can help the jury fully comprehend a motorcyclists’ rights.

If you or someone you know has been involved in a motorcycle accident and requires a trusted team of personal injury lawyers near Reading, PA, contact Kozloff Stoudt today!
