It is best to hire a lawyer to help you after a motorcycle crash.  There are a number of claims that should be reviewed and handled by an experienced attorney.  These include interviewing eyewitnesses, tracking down insurance information, and presenting claims for lost wages and medical bills.  There are issues related to insurance coverage that you likely will not be able to get on your own.  And, studies show that injury victims still get more money in their pocket even after paying a lawyer to help with the personal injury settlement.
