If you sustained catastrophic injuries in a motorcycle accident, you may be faced with a long recovery, mounting medical bills, and lost wages from all the time you’ve missed at work. You may not know how to pursue compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses. At the Hines Law Firm, our motorcycle accident lawyers are dedicated to providing accident victims with the experienced legal representation they need to obtain the settlement they deserve.
We know that no amount of compensation can take away the emotional and physical pain you have suffered following your accident but it can help to alleviate some of the financial burdens the accident has caused.
At the Hines Law Firm, while you focus on your recovery, a motorcycle accident lawyer on our legal team can help by:
Many insurance companies are biased against motorcyclists, quick to point the finger at the rider and blame them for riding recklessly. At the Hines Law Firm, we’re familiar with the many biases motorcycle riders are faced with. We will not allow an insurance company to intimidate our client. We will handle all interactions with the insurance company, including settlement negotiations.
When you hire an attorney on our legal team, they will go above and beyond to fight for the settlement you deserve. If the insurance company fails to make a reasonable settlement offer, we will be prepared to file a lawsuit on your behalf and represent you in court. Fortunately, most motorcycle accident claims are settled out of court. An insurance company is often more willing to negotiate once a lawsuit has been filed.
