In the days following a serious motorcycle crash, you will probably be in and out of doctors’ appointments, rehabilitation treatments, physical therapy and even surgery. The last thing you need to do is deal with rude, aggressive, and disrespectful insurance adjusters. Although some may act friendly, do not be fooled. These people are not your friends. They are paid specifically to get your case to go away for as little money as possible – ideally nothing. In fact, some adjusters even get bonuses based on how much money they save the insurance company. That means the less they pay you, the more they make. Think about it. They’re not looking out for your family.
No one other than your personal injury attorney has your best interests at heart after a motorcycle crash – not the insurance companies, not the police, not even the courts.
A dedicated Dothan motorcycle accident attorney from Gartlan Injury Law can fight for just and fair compensation, which may include:
- Money for medical bills
- Compensation to help with future medical care and treatment
- Compensation for lost income and earnings from work
- Money to help with out-of-pocket expenses from the crash
- Payment for your damaged or destroyed motorcycle
- Money to make up for your diminished earning potential in the future
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
Every type of compensation will not be available in every case, but as a general rule, you can expect to negotiate for a lump-sum settlement. If you are able to reach a settlement agreement, then your attorney can help to stretch that money further by negotiating medical bills and liens and helping to reduce the other expenses that will come out of your settlement.
If your case goes to a jury, then Gartlan Injury Law will work to ensure the jury hears about all the various ways the injury affected your life and caused difficulties for your family.
