About The Motorcycle Accidents Process| Denver Personal Injury
Facts on Motorcycle Accidents
Riding a motorcycle is a rewarding experience offering both a sense of freedom as well as unparallel views of the world around us. Unfortunately this reward comes with significant risks. According to the NHTSA, there were over 5,000 motorcycle riders killed in 2008, and 96,000 injured. In 2009, Colorado accidents claimed the lives of nearly 90 motorcycle riders, accounting for almost 20% of all traffic fatalities. When motorcycle accidents do occur, the injuries can be significant. In addition to road rash, riders involved in accidents suffer strained muscles and joints, broken bones, brain injuries, and in some cases paralysis. These injuries can require extensive medical treatment and long recovery periods. The cost associated with these injuries can be tremendous.
Part of How the Process Partly Works Behind the Scenes
If you’ve been involved in a motorcycle accident, it is important that you speak with an experienced motorcycle injury attorney. Unfortunately, there is a public perception of bikers as lawless and reckless individuals. We know that is not the case, but that does not mean an insurance company would not use this image against you. One way to avoid this is through professional legal representation. Choose a motorcycle injury attorney who has experience negotiating and litigating motorcycle accident cases. Look for an attorney who has a clear plan for recovering your medical expenses, your property expenses, your loss wages, and getting you compensation for pain and suffering. Don’t let an insurance company offer you a settlement that does not consider your long term financial needs. Reach out to our law firm today and receive a free case evaluation.
