Before repairing or replacing your motorcycle, you may want to allow an attorney the opportunity to examine and inspect the damage caused by the accident. Though not always the case, sometimes the damaged motorcycle constitutes important evidence of how a crash occurred. As a result, it may help support your claim that the accident was not your fault.
For example, a forensic mechanic may examine a damaged bike to determine whether a part on the bike failed because of a defect. Defective motorcycles or parts may assign legal liability to the vehicle’s manufacturer.
Although your own motorcycle insurance may cover the costs of repairing damage to your motorcycle, you may want to wait to initiate repairs. Consider speaking with an experienced Corpus Christi motorcycle accident injury lawyer first.
