Motorcycle accidents can be devastating, both physically and emotionally. At Robert DeBry & Associates, our experienced motorcycle accident attorneys are here to help you navigate the complex legal process. We understand the unique challenges faced by motorcycle accident victims and are dedicated to securing the compensation you deserve.
Understanding Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents often result in serious injuries due to the lack of protection for riders. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), motorcyclists are 28 times more likely to die in a crash than occupants of passenger vehicles. This statistic highlights the importance of having skilled motorcycle accident attorneys on your side.
Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents can occur for various reasons. Some common causes include:
- Distracted driving
- Speeding
- Drunk driving
- Failure to yield
- Road hazards
Our motorcycle accident attorneys have extensive experience investigating these types of accidents. We work tirelessly to identify the liable parties and hold them accountable.
Types of Injuries in Motorcycle Accidents
Injuries sustained in motorcycle accidents can range from minor to life-threatening. Common injuries include:
- Fractures and broken bones
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Road rash
- Internal injuries
The severity of these injuries often requires long-term medical care and rehabilitation. Our attorneys understand the financial burden this can place on victims and their families.
The Role of Motorcycle Accident Attorneys
Motorcycle accident attorneys play a crucial role in ensuring victims receive fair compensation. At Robert DeBry & Associates, we handle every aspect of your case, including:
- Investigating the accident
- Gathering evidence
- Negotiating with insurance companies
- Representing you in court if necessary
Investigating the Accident
A thorough investigation is essential to building a strong case. Our attorneys work with accident reconstruction experts to determine the cause of the accident. We also collect evidence such as police reports, witness statements, and medical records.
Negotiating with Insurance Companies
Insurance companies often attempt to minimize payouts to accident victims. Our experienced motorcycle accident attorneys know how to negotiate effectively. We strive to ensure you receive the maximum compensation for your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Representing You in Court
If a fair settlement cannot be reached, our attorneys are prepared to take your case to court. We have a proven track record of success in litigation and will fight tirelessly to protect your rights.
The Importance of Timely Action
It’s crucial to act quickly after a motorcycle accident. In Utah, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is four years. However, evidence can be lost or damaged over time, and witnesses’ memories can fade. Contacting a motorcycle accident attorney as soon as possible increases your chances of a successful outcome.
Steps to Take After a Motorcycle Accident
Taking the right steps after an accident can significantly impact your case. Here are some important steps to follow:
- Seek Medical Attention: Your health and safety should be your top priority.
- Document the Scene: Take photos of the accident scene, your injuries, and any damage to your motorcycle.
- Gather Information: Collect contact information from witnesses and other parties involved in the accident.
- Report the Accident: File a police report and obtain a copy for your records.
- Contact a Motorcycle Accident Attorney: Reach out to our experienced attorneys for a free consultation.
Compensation for Motorcycle Accident Victims
Victims of motorcycle accidents may be entitled to various forms of compensation, including:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
- Loss of consortium
Medical Expenses
Medical expenses can quickly add up after a motorcycle accident. Compensation can cover hospital bills, surgeries, physical therapy, and future medical care. Our attorneys work to ensure all your medical needs are accounted for in your claim.
Lost Wages
If your injuries prevent you from working, you may be entitled to compensation for lost wages. This includes both past and future income. Our attorneys will work with financial experts to calculate the full extent of your losses.
Pain and Suffering
Pain and suffering compensation addresses the emotional and physical distress caused by the accident. This type of compensation can be more challenging to quantify, but our attorneys are skilled in demonstrating the impact of your injuries on your quality of life.
