Motorcycle Injury Lawyer (2024)

Head and Brain Injuries

These injuries often require extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation. Insurance companies often minimize the impact of these injuries, leaving you with insufficient funds for necessary treatments. Without a lawyer, you might settle for an amount that doesn’t fully cover long-term medical care, rehabilitation, or loss of future earnings.

Spinal Cord Injuries

We know that a spinal cord injury means lifelong medical care and changes to your living environment. Insurance companies may not fully account for future medical expenses, assistive devices, home modifications, or the ongoing cost of care, leaving you and your family in a scary financial situation. Our attorneys fight for your truth to be acknowledged and for you to be properly compensated.

Broken Bones

Your fractures may require surgery and long-term physical therapy. Insurance adjusters may downplay the severity of your injuries, resulting in lower settlements that do not reflect your actual costs and losses. Without a lawyer, you risk not receiving enough compensation to cover all of your medical expenses.

Road Rash

Road rash is a severe skin abrasion that can lead to painful infections and permanent scarring. Insurance companies often undervalue these claims, ignoring the long-term physical and emotional impact of your injuries. You need a lawyer fighting by your side to have a chance at receiving adequate compensation for what could be a permanent reminder of your accident.

Internal Injuries

Damage to organs may not be immediately apparent but can be life-threatening. Insurance companies will only exploit the difficulty in diagnosing to offer lower settlements. Without a lawyer, these injuries can be particularly challenging to prove, leading to settlements that fall short of covering necessary medical care.

It’s standard practice for attorneys to charge a contingency fee when representing you in a personal injury case. With this type of agreement, the attorney and client agree that the attorney will take a certain percentage of the settlement or verdict as their fee for representation. If the case is unsuccessful or the client does not receive any money, the client does not owe the attorney anything. Additionally, the attorney covers upfront costs related to the case, and those costs are later deducted from any recovery obtained on behalf of the client.

Not necessarily. Many personal injury cases are settled out of court through negotiations. Initially, we will gather all the necessary evidence and begin pre-suit negotiations with the insurance company. If a fair settlement cannot be reached, we will file a lawsuit. This process includes several phases: discovery, where both parties exchange information; mediation, where an independent attorney attempts to resolve the case; and finally, trial preparation and trial if necessary. It’s important to be prepared for all possibilities, but many cases do settle before reaching the courtroom.

The duration of your case depends largely on the extent and duration of your medical treatment. We cannot begin negotiations until you have fully recovered or reached maximum medical improvement. Once we start negotiating with the insurance company, the process can take several months. If we need to file a lawsuit, it generally takes 18 months to 2 years to get to trial, though this timeframe can vary depending on the complexity of the case and the court’s schedule.

The statute of limitations (SOL) for personal injury claims varies by state. In South Carolina, you generally have three years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. However, there are certain cases where the statute of limitations may be less than three years. It’s crucial to act within this timeframe, as missing the deadline could result in losing your right to seek compensation. It is important to seek an attorney immediately following your injury to make sure you do not miss this deadline.

The value of your claim depends on several factors, including the extent of your injuries, your medical bills, the length of your recovery, and any lost wages. Other considerations include the location of the accident and the history of verdicts in that jurisdiction. Each personal injury claim is unique, and we will thoroughly assess all aspects of your case to determine its fair value.

No, we offer free consultations to discuss your case and explore your legal options. This allows us to understand your situation and provide initial guidance without any financial obligation on your part.

It’s advisable to avoid speaking directly with the insurance company after an injury. Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts, and anything you say could be used against you. Instead, let your attorney handle all communications to protect your interests and ensure you receive fair compensation.

Insurance companies are experts at minimizing payouts. Without a knowledgeable attorney, you risk receiving a settlement far below what you deserve. An experienced personal injury attorney will understand the tactics they use and help you significantly increase your chances of receiving fair compensation.
