Motorcycle Accident
South Carolina Personal Injury Attorneys
Motorcyclists all too often are given a reputation for being reckless drivers, when the truth is that most motorcycle drivers are safe drivers. More often than not, accidents involving motorcyclists and other vehicles are caused by the drivers of the automobiles or trucks. As a South Carolina motorcycle accident victim, what does all this mean for you? In short, you may have a challenging time getting the compensation you truly deserve from the insurance companies for your injuries. At Joye Law Firm, we know what you're up against and we're ready to help you.
You have to look out for your rights because the insurance companies have their own agendas at heart. If they can pay you less money for your injuries and loss, then they will. Insurance adjustors all too often use tactics such as showing up at the scene of an accident or contacting a victim soon after the accident and asking him or her to sign a release or give a statement-all in attempts to get the victim to say something that lessens the severity of the injuries or admit fault.
If you're contacted by an adjustor or someone else from an insurance company, it's best to refer that person to your South Carolina personal injury lawyer so that he or she can help protect your rights. If you haven't yet contacted a lawyer, give our office a call or fill out a free consultation form online. One of our attorneys will contact you to discuss your claim and answer your questions free of charge. As with auto accidents, the sooner you contact a lawyer, the better. As time passes, important evidence can disappear or become difficult to locate. Likewise, witnesses may become difficult to contact or forget key details of the accident.
Things to Remember
You can help your South Carolina motorcycle accident claim further by documenting your injuries and loss.
- Take photographs of the accident scene, your motorcycle, the other vehicles involved, and your injuries (both initially and over time to document the time it takes you to heal).
- Keep copies of your medical records, personal notes of how you felt and how the injuries hinder your ability to perform daily activities, names and contact numbers of witnesses, any bills relating to the accident and injuries, and notes from conversations you have with people about your accident.
