When you are considering filing a lawsuit against the person responsible for causing your motorcycle crash injuries, work with a qualified Oak Lawn motorcycle crash lawyer for help recovering maximum compensation for your losses.
Motorcyclists who are involved in accidents often suffer from some of the most severe injuries there are. This is because motorcyclists do not have an external barrier surrounding them like other drivers do. Being struck by any type of motor vehicle can result in devastating injuries that can require you to take an extended period of time off of work while you focus on recuperating.
With the highly trained attorneys at Lane Brown, LLC on your side, you can spend your time recovering while we work behind the scenes to determine who is financially liable for your damages and negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf. An Oak Lawn motorcycle accident lawyer from our firm will do what it takes to obtain full compensation for your suffering.
For your claim to be successful, we will need to determine who is responsible for causing the crash and your resulting injuries. Many different parties could be found liable, the most likely of which being the driver of the vehicle that struck you.
Typically, the other driver will have been engaging in some sort of unsafe driving practice, such as driving aggressively, distracted driving, driving drunk, or driving drowsy.
There are many cases, however, when the other involved driver was doing everything he or she could to drive safely. In these situations, we might examine a government road authority to see if a road hazard might have caused your crash.
We will also consider the vehicle parts manufacturer and technicians who performed maintenance on either vehicle if a faulty or malfunctioning part caused the crash.
Your motorcycle accident attorney in Oak Lawn will thoroughly investigate to determine who should be named as the defendant in your case. If more than one of these parties played a part in harming you, claims should be brought against each of them to make sure you get everything you’re owed.
You might think that obtaining the compensation you deserve from the insurance company will be as easy as submitting your claim and receiving a check. Unfortunately, for motorcyclists in particular, this is much easier said than done. Insurance adjusters are known for taking advantage of the “reckless biker” stereotype to reduce the amount the insurance company is required to pay you.
By making it appear as though you are a reckless, irresponsible driver who has little regard for his or her own safety and other drivers, the insurer can minimize the settlement it will be obligated to provide to you.
Your motorcycle crash lawyer in Oak Lawn will have the experience necessary to handle these unscrupulous strategies and to negotiate with the insurance company for you so that your award is protected and you are not taken advantage of.
