Rarely do you have to worry about inclement weather affecting your ability to get out and ride. However, as with most any good thing, there are some downsides to being a motorcyclist in Arizona. One of the main negatives is that Arizona is number 5 in the nation for motorcyclist fatalities among registered motorcycles.
Because of the combination of less physical protection around a motorcyclist, as well as other motorists not paying attention while driving, there is an increased likelihood of a motorcycle operator becoming a fatality if involved in a collision. Even when fatalities don’t occur from these accidents, it is still common for serious injuries to be involved as a result. It won’t come as a surprise, then, that our team has represented numerous motorcyclists who have been involved in serious collisions.
If you or a loved one have been involved in a motorcycle accident, our team of knowledgeable and compassionate experts is here to help! We will do all we can to help you overcome both the physical and financial burdens that have come as a result of the accident. As we work with you, we will carry out the necessary investigation and collect evidence to get to the root of what caused the accident. We will also collect needed medical records, communicate with medical professionals as needed, and work with the involved insurance company as well.
hands of their shareholders. In most motorcycle cases, the insurance company will assume you were speeding or driving recklessly – just because you ride. At East Valley Injury Law, we know how to fight these biases. We thoroughly investigate every case to secure evidence needed to prove you were not at fault, and to present your case in a way that is aggressive, yet dignified.
Because the insurance company will not pay you until you sign a document releasing them and their insured from liability, the money you will receive to compensate you for your loss of income will only come at the conclusion of your claim. This stinks! So, we demand more money from them to compensate you not only for the exact loss, but for the struggle you have gone through without your income. If you have long-term physical limitations, we make sure your future losses are fully accounted for. We will fight to replace your lost income during your recovery and seek compensation for any ongoing limitations that affect your future earning capacity.
Probably not. Insurance companies make decisions based upon calculated probabilities. Those probabilities are always in the favor of the insurance company. You can be sure that any offer they make shortly after the crash is calculated to be in their best interest, not yours. These quick offers are tempting. However, if you have not determined the medical treatment you will need, the full complement of injuries you’ve sustained, and the long-term effects of those injuries, the offer is almost always much less than the full value of your claim.
You should never feel pressured to settle before you know the full, long-term impact of your injuries. Insurance companies are bullies. They use tactics to rush you into an early settlement calculated to save money for their shareholders. East Valley Injury Law won’t rush clients; we wait until your true long-term prognosis is clear so we can secure a settlement that actually covers your ongoing and future medical costs and needs.
Because motorcycle crashes often result in catastrophic injuries, an at-fault driver’s basic personal liability insurance is often insufficient to fully compensate our clients. Our attorneys know how to find every available layer of coverage.For example, in a recent $3.2 million motorcycle accident settlement involving a drug-impaired driver working for a national delivery company, we successfully obtained the full value from three layers of insurance.ears from the date of the accident based on the type of case. However, if your case involves a government entity, the deadline may be shorter.
