Elizabethtown Motorcycle Accident – Why Is It Important To Hire An Attorney?
As experienced Elizabethtown personal injury attorneys who have successfully handled hundreds of accident cases for clients, we believe that you also need to hire an attorney when you have been hurt because of another party’s negligent, careless or reckless actions. Even in cases involving minor injuries, complex legal issues can arise that will jeopardize the case and decrease the amount of money you receive as compensation for your injuries. However, if you hire an experienced personal injury attorney to represent your interests against the negligent party, they will handle the legal issues and other matters that could work to prevent you from being successful in your personal injury claim.
Motorcycle accidents can involve complex legal issues regarding liability. They also cause severe injuries due to the difference in size between the motorcycle and the other vehicle involved in the accident. The lack of protection offered to the rider by a motorcycle often results in severe, life-threatening and often permanent medical conditions that require substantial medical treatments and on-going medical care. Someone must be held accountable for these costs. Hire an attorney with Musselwhite Meinhart & Staples who has experience with motorcycle accidents to protect your rights to receive a fair and just recovery for your injuries.
Hire an experienced Elizabethtown Attorney to Level the Playing Field in Your Motorcycle Accident Case
When you are involved in an automobile accident, you not only suffer physical injuries, you suffer emotional and financial damages too. In most cases, you may still be in the hospital trying to recover from your injuries and still may be in shock when an aggressive insurance adjuster will try to get you to provide a recorded statement about the accident. He will also push medical releases and other forms in front of you to sign. You do not have to sign these forms and you do not have to provide a statement. Instead you should immediately contact an experienced personal injury attorney to protect your rights.
Insurance companies, their adjusters and attorneys are all working to protect the interest of the insurance company, regardless of what they may try to tell you. Adjusters are trained to use any available information, such as that from a recorded statement or copies of your medical records obtained with a release, to decrease the amount of money the insurance company must pay to you for your claim. This team of professionals are trying to lower the value of your claim. They have infinite resources and manpower to do this. You need to hire an attorney immediately after an accident to level the playing field. Your attorney will keep the adjusters and attorneys from harassing you so that you can concentrate on recovering.
Hire an Attorney to Conduct a Thorough Investigation
Your attorney will begin an immediate investigation to identify, collect and preserve crucial evidence that will be used to prove liability on the part of the other driver. He may utilize experts to reconstruct the accident, examine the wreckage and determine your exact financial loss. This information is needed in order to present a strong case against the at-fault party. It is also used to get the maximum compensation possible for your accident claim. On your own, you probably will not have these resources. It is better to hire an attorney as soon as possible so that he may begin work immediately on your case.
Hire an Attorney with Knowledge of the Law and Experience Trying Motorcycle Accident Cases
You need to hire an attorney who is well-versed in personal injury laws as well as one who has handled numerous motorcycle accident cases. Unfortunately, motorcyclists face unfair prejudices in our society. Many people believe that motorcyclists are reckless and they take too many chances that endanger their lives and the lives of others. Attorneys with experience handling motorcycle cases understand these negative stereotypes and they know how to overcome them with a jury. An experienced motorcycle accident attorney knows how to present the case so that the jury sees you are the victim and you should be compensated for your injuries.
