While in some cases after an accident the other party or your insurance company refuses to take responsibility or negotiates in bad faith and you will have to file litigation, many motorcycle accident claims are settled out of court. The process of negotiating a claim is a back, and forth that can be broken down into three primary steps.
After an investigation of the accident, your attorney helps you to file a claim with the other party’s insurance, laying out the details of the accident, the other party’s fault, and the damages you’ve suffered - including but not entirely limited to your injuries and lost income. The insurance company reviews your claim and either makes an offer or refuses to pay. Your Attorney either negotiates with the insurance company to ensure that you receive a proper offer of compensation if their original offer is too low.
It is usually only when the other party refuses to negotiate in good faith or attempts to delay invalidating your claim that your case will go to court. In those cases, an experienced Motorcycle Accident Attorney is essential to fight to ensure that the court is convinced to give you the compensation you deserve for your injuries.
