7 Ways APLC Moore-Faust Law Group, A Motorcycle Accident Personal Injury Attorney / Lawyer, Can Help You With Your Injury Claim
When you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, your first priority is receiving the medical care you need to recover from your injuries. At the same time, you need to consider how to protect your legal rights if someone else caused the accident. A motorcylce accident personal injury attorney’s / lawyer’s number one goal is to help you build a solid legal case, establish evidence of your damages, and recoup the financial compensation you deserve to help pay your accident-related losses. Those losses may include medical bills, property damage, past and future pain and suffering, lost income, future lost earning capacity, and the loss of enjoyment of life among other damages.
- An experienced motorcycle accident personal injury attorney / lawyer can help you throughout your claim, including by:
- Offering a free consultation and claim review to explain:
- Your legal rights.
- The law that applies to your situation.
- Damages in a claim such as yours.
- What you can expect.
- Providing legal advice for your specific injury claim such as: what damages you should include in your claim, evidence needed to prove and establish your damages suffered, and the probability of success.
- Finding all available insurance coverage – determining who is liable. If the other driver was underinsured (your claim exceeds the amount of their insurance coverage), we can determine if you have applicable underinsured coverage on your policy to further pursue. If the other driver was not insured, we can determine if you have uninsured coverage to pursue.
- Preparing an insurance demand letter – requiring several steps, including:
- Investigating and gathering evidence such as photos, police reports, medical records, employment details, witness statements, proof of the other driver’s negligence, and a summary of your financial losses. Many times, lawyers have access to evidence the average person does not know how to obtain.
- Engaging experts, for example, medical specialists or accident reconstructionists.
- Calculating all possible damages, including both current and future costs and damages so they are properly included in your claim.
- Creating a persuasive argument for the settlement amount requested.
- Your lawyer will negotiate with the insurance company and defense legal counsel, argue on your behalf for your damages, and defend against the insurance’s efforts to devalue your claim and damages.
- Your lawyer must be prepared to file a civil lawsuit in the appropriate court system before the applicable statute of limitations runs out.
- Finally, your motorcycle accident attorney will handle your settlement or court outcome and all related documentation to disburse the funds and resolve your case.
With a contingency fee, you won’t pay for these services until you receive compensation at the end of your case. Studies have shown that injured people who work with a motorcycle accident personal injury attorney / lawyer receive more compensation than those who try to resolve their cases on their own, even after paying attorney fees.

MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS
Know Your Entitlement
The prevalence of motorcycle – automobile collisions is alarming. The change of the collision is far greater when a motorcycle is involved. Automobile drivers simply do not provide the respect to the motorcyclists that they deserve. Worse yet, insurance carriers will use any reason imaginable to avoid full payment of the claim.
Sadly, too many motorcycle operators attempt to settle their claim without the assistance of an injury attorney. Most often, the insurance adjuster handling the claim will pretend to be understanding and appear friendly to the motorcyclist. But, make no mistake about it: the insurance company, in effort to maximize profits, requires the adjuster pay as little as possible.
Injured motorcyclists would always be wise to seek assistance from an attorney experienced with local injury claims. At Moore-Faust Law Group, we have handled hundreds of motorcycle claims, and – since we limit our practice to injury claims – our fees can be less than other attorneys may charge, and, if we handle your injury claim, we will handle your motorcycle damage claim without cost.
Of course, there are attorneys available for hire with less experience or from other states, but there are multiple differences in the law and in the claims process from other states. More importantly, the insurance company carefully scrutinizes the attorney assisting the injured motorcyclist and is aware that an attorney is not familiar with unique aspects of the local law or cannot appear in court. Of course, the out-of-state and high-profile attorneys can call upon the assistance of a local attorney to join in the pursuit of the claim, but the few attorneys wish to share the fee with a local attorney and most often, therefore, are reluctant to do so.
An experienced local attorney knows the unique aspects of the law best, and being able to proceed with court action, can best pursue the greatest recovery for the injured motorcyclist.
Moore-Faust Injury Law Group have extensive knowledge in the are of motorcycle accidents, and have successfully represented clients who have been involved in motorcycle accidents. You may be able to recover monetary compensation for your injuries, property damage, future losses, medical expenses, and other related damages.
