In Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts, where we practice personal injury law, we support our local bikers and their families by helping them navigate the aftermath of life-changing motorcycle accidents. As a seasoned motorcycle accident attorney, I see just how unfairly bikers are treated and work diligently to support our biker clients after tragedy strikes.
Today’s blog highlights five reasons why it is important to call a motorcycle accident attorney after someone injures you:
1. Legal Expertise in Personal Injury Law, Specifically Motorcycle Laws and Regulations.
When you work with a skilled motorcycle accident attorney, you are handing your case over to experts. At Bottaro Injury Lawyers, we have combined decades of experience in personal injury law and have recovered millions, specifically for our motorcycle clients and their families.
2. Investigation and Claims Process Expertise.
When it comes to investigating motorcycle injury cases, we have our clients covered. We routinely review police reports, witness statements, photographs, video/surveillance footage, accident reconstruction reports, insurance documents, and medical records to understand and build your case. All of these documents include details that help us uncover who is at fault, where sources of compensation are, and how much your case is worth.
A good motorcycle accident attorney will also be familiar with how to file a Rhode Island or Massachusetts personal injury claim against the proper party. We regularly adhere to and guide our clients on how to comply with all deadlines, notice requirements, etc. to see the compensation they deserve.
3. Negotiation Skills.
At Bottaro Injury Lawyers, we have no problem going up against large companies and their insurance providers. If a driver injures you, it is likely that you will need to negotiate with their insurance company. If they do not have insurance/enough insurance coverage, you may even need to negotiate with your own insurance company.
Insurance companies, even “your” insurance company, do not want to pay anything on personal injury claims. They will fight tooth and nail on who is at fault, how your injuries came to be, and everything in between.
As an added layer, bikers must deal with biases and stereotypes associated with motorcycling. Even the safest bikers must deal with insurance companies trying to place the blame on them for some or all of the accident, thereby limiting the claim payout. Hiring a law firm that has repeatedly managed these biases can help you achieve the payout you deserve.
4. Trial Expertise.
Another reason why you want a skilled motorcycle accident attorney on your side is if you need to take your case to trial. Sometimes, victims and insurance companies cannot come to reasonable settlement terms after an accident. This is when your attorney will prepare you for the litigation process. At Bottaro Injury Lawyers, we have local trial experience and routinely help clients through depositions, prepare expert witnesses, and advocate for you on your behalf in all phases of litigation.
5. Stress Relief for You.
A skilled motorcycle accident attorney takes the time, stress, and confusion away from navigating a motorcycle accident claim. At Bottaro Injury Lawyers, we take all the guesswork out of filing a personal injury claim. Our firm manages all case paperwork, interrogatory and other document requests, and calls from insurance companies, etc. We do this, in part, to give you time and space to focus on healing.
We hope that this blog article highlights the importance of calling a skilled and local motorcycle accident attorney after you or a loved one sustain personal injuries in an accident!
