Do I Need A Motorcycle Accident Lawyer In Palm Desert?
If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, the most likely source of financial recovery to compensate you for your injuries will be the at-fault party’s insurance company.
You see, in California, when someone injures someone else via negligence, they are financially liable for those injuries under California law. In the case of a motorcycle accident, this typically means their insurance company is obligated to completely pay for the injuries up to policy limits.
However, insurance companies don’t always live up to this obligation. In fact, they simply won’t if you don’t have a lawyer. That’s because the only way to make sure they live up to the obligation is to sue them and win if they don’t offer you what you’re entitled to for your injuries.
Insurance companies make a lot of money. They can afford lawyers because of this. You can’t sue them and win without a lawyer of your own because of this. Insurance companies know this, so if you don’t have an attorney, they know you can’t make them offer you what you deserve, so they simply won’t offer you what you deserve. They will offer you a very tiny percentage of what you’re actually entitled to and dare you to file a lawsuit over it, knowing you can’t win such a lawsuit.
However, insurance companies keep files on motorcycle accident lawyers. The files they have on Nadrich Accident Injury Lawyers tell them that when Nadrich Accident Injury Lawyers take motorcycle accident cases to court, they win. When insurance companies see that a motorcycle accident victim is represented by Nadrich Accident Injury Lawyers, they know it’s a waste of legal fees to take us on in court, so they’ll virtually always settle with us out of court.
Hiring a motorcycle accident lawyer is the best thing you can do to give you the best chance of recovering the maximum possible compensation after a motorcycle accident. However, it’s also important to hire a lawyer to talk with the insurance companies for you.
Insurance adjusters are trained to trick you into saying the wrong thing while they record their conversation with you. They’ll try to trick you into admitting fault for an accident. They’ll try to trick you into admitting your injuries aren’t as severe as you claim. It’s easier than you think to fall for these tricks. They’re experts at twisting the tiniest little thing you say into a knot and using it against you.
It’s dangerous for you to talk to an insurance company after a motorcycle accident because if you say the wrong thing, it will instantly cause the value of your claim to plummet.
Call us today for a free consultation if you or a loved one was injured or killed in a motorcycle accident so we can handle all conversations and negotiations with insurance companies for you. We can perform tough, aggressive negotiations on your behalf with insurance companies to make sure you receive as much financial compensation for your motorcycle accident injuries as possible.
Why Motorcycle Accidents Happen
Accidents are sometimes unavoidable no matter how safely motorcyclists drive their vehicles. Reasons for motorcycle accidents include:
- Inattentive drivers: Motorcycles can be more difficult to see than cars and trucks, especially when drivers aren’t paying attention to what is around them. A common cause of motorcycle accidents is drivers who turn in front of motorcycles that they don’t see.
- Defective equipment: Vehicle defects can cause motorcycle accidents.
- Dangerous road hazards: Hazards like potholes, loose asphalt, loose gravel and liquid spills can be extremely dangerous for motorcyclists. State and local governments can be responsible for motorcycle accidents when poor roadway maintenance or/design leads to accidents.
Other reasons for motorcycle accidents include:
- Speeding
- Inexperienced motorcyclists
- Drugs and alcohol
- Weaving in and out of traffic
- Distracted drivers
- Lane splitting
- Tailgating
- Bad weather
What To Do After A Motorcycle Accident in Palm Desert CA
- Get out of danger: Crash scenes can be very dangerous. Many accidents involve gas leaks and these can lead to fires. Other drivers on the road may not immediately realize an accident has occurred and this can lead to chain reaction accidents involving multiple vehicles. Get to a safe place.
- Receive medical attention: You should receive medical attention after a motorcycle accident even if you don’t think you’ve been injured. Failing to do so could prevent you from obtaining the full financial compensation for your injuries that you deserve, as insurance companies can claim your injuries may have been caused by something else if you take too long to get them diagnosed. The shock and adrenaline you experience after an accident can mask some injuries, and some injuries don’t show themselves for hours or even days.
- Report the motorcycle accident: Call the police and report the motorcycle accident. The resulting police report can be critical in helping you obtain a full monetary recovery for your injuries.
- Get in touch with experienced motorcycle accident attorneys: A detailed investigation must be done to determine who is at fault in a motorcycle accident. Personal injury lawyers like the lawyers at Nadrich Accident Injury Lawyers have the experts, knowledge and experience to conduct a thorough investigation which can definitively prove another party was at fault for your injuries, and can help obtain quality medical care for you on a lien, meaning you don’t have to pay for it until the case is over and a recovery has been obtained for you.
