The steps you take in the immediate aftermath of a motorcycle wreck can help your recovery and affect the outcome of any future civil suit you decide to pursue.
You should immediately call for medical assistance and receive a full evaluation, even if you feel fine. A doctor can diagnose your injuries and provide you with the medical care you need. The doctor may also identify and treat hard-to-recognize conditions, such as concussions, that are not immediately apparent. While undergoing the medical evaluation, you should talk to your doctor about all your symptoms. Your doctor’s report can be critically important in a lawsuit because it links your injuries to the motorcycle crash and documents their severity.
Use your health insurance for treatment. If you have any difficulty seeing your doctor after a crash, contact us; we can help.
If the other side’s insurance company reaches out to you, do not talk to them about your injuries or the accident. Insurance companies often try to deny liability or reduce their payments, so they may attempt to get you to say you did something wrong. Do not feel pressured to admit fault. Tell them you would like to consult with your lawyer.
You should try to gather documents and photos of visible injuries, property damage, medical records, and the scene of the accident for your case. We also recommend documenting your recovery, as this can strengthen your claim.

The value of a motorcycle case ultimately depends on the unique circumstances of the claim, which cannot be determined without the help of an attorney. Though we cannot guarantee or warrant case results, our lawyers have a proven reputation for successfully securing record-breaking settlements. We get more money for our clients than they would have gotten on their own or with another attorney.
To get an estimate of your settlement, you can speak with one of our experienced motorcycle crash attorneys in Fresno. They will assess your claim and provide an estimated settlement once they have sufficient information about your accident.
– Get the medical care you need.
– Talk to your doctor about all your symptoms.
– Don’t talk to insurance companies about your injuries. Tell them you are unsure and looking to discuss this with a lawyer.
That’s a difficult question, and ultimately depends on assessing the unique conditions of your claim, which cannot be done by an automated calculator. According to the All-Industry Research Advisory Council (ARAC), a typical personal injury case without an attorney settles for $3,262, while a case with an attorney will re-coup $11,939 – that’s over 3.5 times more money in your pocket.

If you accept the settlement and you later need further medical treatment or are unable to work due to your injuries, your settlement and waiver agreement can prevent you from getting additional compensation.

Until then, you must make payment on medical costs associated with your accident or, have your health insurance pay them while your case is underway. It’s important to make sure that all of your medical providers bill your health insurance.
