A Motorcycle Accident Attorney with an In-depth Understanding of Motorcycle Insurance Issues
It is important not to talk to an insurance company representative prior to talking to an attorney who clearly understands motorcycle insurance. I founded The Karney Law Firm in 1979 and have been handling issues related to motorcycle accident insurance ever since. In my experience, the most expensive thing any rider can do is settle with an insurance company without talking to lawyer.
Why Talk to a Lawyer Experience at Handling Motorcycle Insurance Claims?
Insurance companies recognize that many bike riders are not attractive plaintiffs. The perception is that they speed, weave in and out of traffic, and deserve what they get. Therefore, it is difficult to get a fair settlement without preparing a case for trial. I am not quick to settle a case. If fact, I carefully workup every motorcycle accident case, looking into the cause of the accident, the short and long-term medical and financial consequences of the accident, as well as any and all possible sources of compensation.
While North and South Carolina require all drivers to carry insurance, the injuries in motorcycle accident often exceed the policy limits. While I seek the policy limits on the driver's insurance policy, I also seek out any other sources of recovery:
If you have uninsured or underinsured motorist insurance, I can make a claim against your policy to recover any amount not covered by the driver's insurance policy.
If the driver responsible for the accident was on company business, I can pursue a claim against the company's policy.
In some cases it may be possible to make a claim against a home owner's insurance policy.
If defective equipment contributed to the severity of the accident, I can seek compensation from the retailer, distributor, and manufacture of the motorcycle or of the defective part.
Insurance companies are unlike to inform you of other sources of recovery. Their interest is in minimizing their liability and getting you to sign a waiver releasing them from further liability. I have an in-depth understanding of how insurance works and am committed to helping injured riders maximize the compensation they receive for their injuries.
