Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Because a motorcyclist has no protection from the road and other drivers, they are at a high risk of suffering catastrophic or even fatal injuries when they’re involved in an accident. If you were involved in an accident with a negligent driver while riding your motorcycle and you suffered injuries, you should take legal action as soon as possible.  Motorcycle accident victims can sustain injuries that can change their lives forever, requiring months or even years of ongoing medical treatment, physical therapy and chronic pain. Not to mention the absurd medical costs. At the Hines Law Firm, our motorcycle accident lawyers know how devastating the aftermath of a motorcycle wreck can be and how important it is to recover every penny of compensation you’re owed, as soon as possible.  Our skilled lawyers will go above and beyond to help you recover the economic and non-economic damages you deserve, for an accident that was caused by a negligent or reckless driver, while you focus on bouncing back from your physical injuries.

How Can a Motorcycle Accident Attorney Help?

If you were involved in a motorcycle crash that was caused by a reckless, careless, or negligent motorist, an experienced motorcycle accident attorney at the Hines Law Firm can help you fight for the fair settlement you deserve. 

While you focus on your recovery, our legal team can help your personal injury claim by:

  • Investigating the accident and reviewing the police report 
  • Gathering evidence
  • Assessing damages
  • Interviewing witnesses
  • Consulting with experts
  • Filing paperwork
  • Handling all interactions with the insurance company
  • Settlement negotiations
  • Filing a lawsuit and handling all legal proceedings

At the Hines Law Firm, we’re familiar with the many biases that motorcycle drivers are faced with when they file an insurance claim and try to figure out insurance coverage. Most of the time, insurance companies have a bias against motorcycle riders and will try to place the blame on them, claiming that they were reckless. We will take the fault party's insurance company head on and fight to help you recover the fair settlement you’re owed. If the insurance adjuster refuses to make a reasonable settlement offer that covers your financial losses, our experienced lawyers are prepared to take your case to trial. As we prepare your personal injury lawsuit for court, we will continue to negotiate with the responsible party's insurance provider. Fortunately, most motorcycle wreck claims are settled out of court. An insurance company does not want to waste their time, money, and resources on a long and costly trial.

What is the Statute Of Limitations for Motorcycle Accidents?

If you were involved in a motorcycle wreck, you will have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit against the fault party. If you fail to file a lawsuit by this time limit, you will be unable to recover any fair compensation for your accident-related losses. At the Hines Law Firm, when you hire an experienced motorcycle accident lawyer on our legal team, they will handle every aspect of your case, including ensuring your case is filed within the statute of limitations.
