While recovery is your top priority after a motorcycle accident, do not make the mistake of settling the claim with the other driver’s insurance company without legal representation. It is critical that you hire a lawyer to protect your interests. When the other driver is obviously at fault, remember that your insurance company will not simply handle the situation. Not only are many motorcycle accidents relatively complicated, but the goal of the insurance company is to settle as quickly and cheaply as possible. At best, the insurance company will offer you a lowball settlement. At worst, additional circumstances can harm your claim.
