Ruston Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Motorcyclists choose to get around on bikes for a number of reasons. Fuel efficiency, thrills, and the joy of being on the open road are just a few of these. Unfortunately, bikers face many risks while they are on the road and when an accident occurs, it can result in some of the most serious injuries. Our Ruston motorcycle accident lawyer can provide the legal advice you need and help you obtain the full and fair damages you deserve.

How Much Compensation is Available in Motorcycle Claims?

The amount of compensation you can recover in a motorcycle accident claim will depend on many factors. The main factor that will determine the value of your claim is the damages you sustained. These include your lost income, medical bills, and the amount of pain and suffering you experienced.

Another factor that will impact the value of your claim is the amount of liability each party carries. If you contributed to your injuries, you can still file a claim for compensation but your percentage of fault will result in reduced damages. For example, if you deserve $100,000 in damages but you were found to be ten percent at fault for the crash, you will receive $90,000 because your share of fault is reduced by your percentage of fault.

How Long Does a Motorcycle Accident Claim Take?

Without first fully reviewing the facts of your case, no one can determine how long it will take to obtain a fair settlement. Some cases only take a few weeks, while others may take several months or even longer. The factors that will largely impact the length of your claim are the duration of your medical treatment, whether the insurance company accepts liability, and how long the initial investigation takes.

Regardless of how long it takes to resolve your claim, you only have one year from the date of the crash to file. This is known as the statute of limitations and if this time limit expires, you will forfeit your right to claim any compensation at all.

How Can a Ruston Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Help with Your Case?

There are many ways a Ruston motorcycle accident lawyer can help with your claim. When you work with a lawyer, they will:

Collect police reports, photograph the scene, and locate witnesses

Consult with experts and negotiate with insurers on your behalf

The above are just a few ways in which a lawyer can help with your case. A lawyer will handle all of the legal details of your claim and ensure your rights are upheld throughout the process.
