A motorcyclist often has a reputation for driving recklessly. Is it difficult to prove a motorcycle accident was someone else's fault?
If you lack proper evidence to prove negligence or fault, it may be difficult to prove your case. It is imperative to ask what kind of investigative techniques the lawyer will use to prove your case. Does the attorney utilize latest technology in motorcycle accident reconstruction, scene surveys and forensic animation? The more solid evidence you present in court, the better your chance is for proving fault.
Is it wise to talk to a representative from an insurance company?
No, you should let your motorcycle accident lawyer speak to any insurance company representatives. The insurance company usually offers a low settlement, expecting the injured person to negotiate. Let your San Jose motorcycle accident injury attorney negotiate on your behalf.
What injuries commonly occur from motorcycle accidents?
Serious injuries such as spinal cord injury, back and neck trauma, traumatic brain injury, broken bones and gashes are common injuries sustained in motorcycle accidents.
Can forgetting to wear a helmet affect a motorcycle accident lawsuit?
No. The fact that you didn't wear a helmet doesn't affect your ability to sue the responsible party for damages.
What's the benefit of getting the police involved?
A police report is a critical document that provides important information to the insurance company and your attorney. If you neglect to notify the police, you will lose the opportunity to substantiate your case from the very beginning.
