Injured Riders Deserve Attorneys Who Are Just as Fearless as Them—Winning Your Case Can Be a Significant Challenge
It takes a healthy dose of courage to get on a two-wheeled motorized vehicle and brave the dangers of the road. When accidents happen, riders deserve a legal team that is just as fearless as they are. Riddle & Riddle Injury Lawyers reflect a rider’s bravery in several ways, including in our:
- Confronting insurers’ bad-faith tactics: Insurance companies engage in a range of bad-faith tactics, and we meet those unethical strategies head-on. If anyone accuses you of recklessness, denies a valid claim, lowballs you, or engages in other bad-faith behaviors, we will stand tall for you.
- Willingness to work with experts: It takes humility to delegate, and there is a type of courage in being humble. Motorcycle accidents and resulting cases can be complicated, and we don’t hesitate to hire experts who improve our client’s chances of success.
- Dynamic legal approaches: We are not afraid to employ innovative legal approaches if we believe they will benefit our clients. Lawyers must evolve and grow, and our entire team embraces this growth mentality while certain other firms stagnate.
- Aggressive negotiating style: Motorcycle attorneys who cower to insurance companies’ bully tactics are doing their clients a disservice—and positioning those clients for hardship in the future. We are aggressive negotiators, but we are also fair in our demands. Your Garner motorcycle accident lawyer will demand the compensation you deserve, and they will not back down from those demands.
- Willingness to take legal action on riders’ behalf: There are several reasons why most cases, including motorcycle accident cases, do not go to trial. Taking cases to court requires substantial work, financial investment, and intense focus. Some lawyers would rather just settle. At Riddle & Riddle Injury Lawyers, we do what’s right for our clients. If the right move is filing a lawsuit or going to court, we never let fear or laziness get in the way.
When we say we will fight for you, we mean it.
How Our Garner Motorcycle Accident Attorneys Deliver Compensation to Injured Riders
The process ahead will remain a bit murky until we have the opportunity to investigate your case. Once we have spoken with insurance representatives, reviewed your damages, and attempted to negotiate a fair deal for you, we might better understand how your case will unfold.
That being said, we expect that we will serve you by:
Acquiring All Accident-Related Evidence of Negligence
One of our most critical duties is to prove who hit you, forced you off your bike, or injured you in other ways. We might prove fault for your motorcycle accident with the following:
- Your detailed account of the collision (and, specifically, what events caused you to suffer injuries)
- Video recordings of the collision
- Experts’ testimony about and reconstructions of the crash
- Any statements from at-fault parties admitting fault, which we may obtain from the responding law enforcement officials
- Photographic evidence of the accident scene and property damage
It’s important to secure evidence of negligence as soon as possible after an accident while the evidence is available. Do not delay speaking with our team; we are ready to move forward today.
Detailing Your Accident-Related Damages
Proof of your accident-related damages may include:
- Statements from your doctors about your injuries, symptoms, pain, treatment cost, and recovery prognosis
- Medical records supplementing your doctors’ statements
- Medical bills
- Written and verbal testimony from mental health professionals about the psychological and emotional toll of the accident
- Bills for motorcycle repairs or an estimate for replacing a totaled bike
- Your own statements about how the accident has affected you financially, psychologically, professionally, personally, and otherwise
No single piece of documentation will prove the cost of your collision. We will assemble many forms of documentation so we can prove how much compensation you deserve.
Identifying Liable Parties and Forming a Strategy for Your Case
You might have been in an accident because:
- A motorist was distracted, speeding, tailgating, impaired, or careless (or reckless) in other ways
- A defect in a motor vehicle or your motorcycle led to the collision
- Driving conditions were unsafe, perhaps due to poor roads, unsafe work zones, or other environmental hazards
- A pedestrian or bicyclist did something to cause the crash, like entering the roadway in front of you
We gather evidence right away so we can quickly determine the cause of your accident. Our team will also determine whether insurance companies owe you money and whether suing any at-fault parties can be an effective case strategy.
Seeking a Fair Settlement (Likely from One or More Insurance Providers)
As our record of results suggests, we are serious about getting our clients fair compensation. Settlement is one of the two primary ways we get clients paid, but we aren’t seeking a layup settlement—we fight for the right settlement every time.
We will enter settlement negotiations equipped with proof of fault, documentation of damages, any expert testimony supporting your case, and all other relevant case materials. We will also come with the intent to win.
Paving the Way for Justice Through a Lawsuit, and Possibly a Trial, If You Decide to Sue
Countless riders have secured fair compensation by suing at-fault parties. In some cases, their lawsuits led to a fair settlement offer from liable parties. In other cases, the riders’ attorneys had to convince a jury or judge to pay the rider fairly.
Because our lawyers are experienced negotiators and trial attorneys, we are ready for whichever strategy you want to pursue. We will give you sound advice to follow, and you will have the final say when it comes to your case.
We Will Determine Who Should Pay for Your Injuries, Pain and Suffering, and Other Damages
We will follow the facts and evidence when forming your case strategy. That said, we may ultimately seek compensation from:
- A negligent motorist’s insurance provider (or directly from the at-fault driver through a lawsuit)
- An employer whose employee caused your accident (or their insurance provider)
- Your insurance provider
- The manufacturer of any defective vehicle that played a role in your accident
- The municipality of Garner which may be liable for any hazardous conditions that contributed to your crash
Rest assured that we will hold liable parties accountable for the harm they have caused you.
Riders Are Particularly Vulnerable to Severe Damages Such as These
We have represented injured riders. We would not wish their injuries, physical symptoms, psychological trauma, or emotional upset on anyone. With little protection other than the clothes on their back, a rider’s collision may cause:
- Severe and long-term pain and suffering
- Extensive scarring and possibly other types of disfigurement
- Medical costs far beyond the cost of typical treatment
- Lost earnings
- Diminished earning capacity
- Severe damage to the motorcycle, which may require costly repairs or even the replacement of the bike
Disabilities are another reality that riders too often face because of others’ negligence. Our team will compassionately investigate the harm you face, and we will demand financial accountability from those responsible (either directly or because they represent at-fault parties)
Our Attorneys Serving Garner Will Compassionately Lead a Wrongful Death Case for You
About 5,000 riders in the United States tragically die per year in motorcycle accidents. Statistics go out the window when a loved one becomes one of the deceased riders—when this happens, pain is all the survivors know.
Riddle & Riddle Injury Lawyers understand what survivors endure because we have helped many get justice after fatal motorcycle accidents. Our team secured a $9.45 million recovery in one fatal traffic accident case, and we will seek compensation to cover your damages—which may include:
- Grief
- Other forms of pain and suffering, such as depression, despair, and substance use issues
- Loss of spousal companionship (and certain other non-economic losses that fall under the category of loss of consortium)
- Loss of the decedent’s financial support and household contributions
- Funeral expenses
- Medical expenses
Pain and suffering cast a particularly large shadow in wrongful death cases. If you’ve lost a loved one, please accept our entire team’s condolences. Also, accept our help, as we demand justice for the loss of life, which is the most devastating possible outcome of motorcycle accidents in Garner.
