What the Insurance Company Won’t Tell You
After a crash, the other driver’s insurance company may contact you with what sounds like a quick and reasonable offer. They might even seem understanding or sympathetic to what you’re going through.
These early settlement offers often fall far short of what injured riders actually need. They rarely account for the full cost of emergency care, follow-up medical appointments, or the ongoing physical therapy you might need to recover. They don’t reflect the long-term pain or disability that could affect your quality of life. They almost never cover the wages you’ve already lost — or the income you may never fully regain. They certainly don’t consider the emotional toll or mental stress that can linger long after the crash.
Once you accept one of these settlements and sign on the dotted line, there’s no going back. Even if you later discover your injuries are more serious than you realized, you can’t reopen the claim and ask for more. That’s why it’s absolutely vital to speak with an experienced motorcycle accident attorney before talking to the insurance adjuster or agreeing to anything.
Acting Quickly Can Protect Your Case
Every day that passes after your motorcycle accident makes it harder to prove what really happened. Skid marks fade. Vehicles are repaired or scrapped. Witnesses become harder to find — or their memory fades. While all of this is going on, the insurance company is working behind the scenes to protect themselves.
An experienced motorcycle accident attorney knows what kind of evidence can make or break your case. At Arthur Law Firm, we move fast to:
- Preserve evidence from the crash scene
- Gather statements from witnesses
- Review police and crash reports
- Work with medical professionals to document your injuries
- Coordinate expert testimony if needed
The sooner you contact us, the sooner we can start building a strong, fact-based case that puts the blame where it belongs — and it’s not on you.
Proving Fault When You’re Being Blamed
Motorcyclists are often unfairly labeled as reckless. Even when you obey every traffic law and wear the right safety gear, that bias can creep into the way insurance companies and even law enforcement view your crash.
That’s why these cases require a legal team that knows how to dig deeper.
At Arthur Law Firm, we don’t just take your word for it, we back it up with evidence. We’ll work with accident reconstruction experts, medical professionals, and crash scene investigators to clearly show what caused the collision and how your injuries are connected. If the other driver made a mistake, whether they turned in front of you, changed lanes without looking, or failed to yield, we’ll hold them fully accountable.
