Handling this process without legal counsel is complex. While the internet may help you understand some aspects of negligence, it will not teach you how to prove each element required for the claim. Moreover, if there is a dispute over liability and you must go to trial to recover compensation, you will likely need help to file a proper complaint. You may have difficulty concerning the rules of evidence or distinguishing which rules to follow. Most commonly, we see laypeople needing help handling the insurance aspect. Managing personal injury protection (PIP) benefits, making an uninsured or underinsured claim, and dealing with the defendant’s insurance are all common obstacles.
Our firm wants to make the process simple for you. We know you may need to be more open to trusting a law office, which is why we are so proud of the awards we have received. Since 1954, our Frederick motorcycle accident lawyers have fought for our clients. We aim to provide compassionate counsel so you can focus on your medical recovery. We know how difficult your life can become following an accident. You may lose your usual mode of transportation and need help getting to work each day. You may struggle with physical impairments from the accident that inhibit your favorite hobbies and passions. These are things we will learn and then use in making your case, as pain and suffering are elements of damages in a negligence claim.
So long as you did not cause the accident, you do not have to worry about this. Your own insurance company will generally appreciate you having another party handle your compensation, but that should be something other than your primary concern. Instead, the only ones who will have their rates go up are the rates of the negligent driver. And notably, this will happen regardless of whether you file suit. As soon as the defendant’s insurance company catches wind that their insured is in an accident, they will raise the rates.
They will only not raise the defendant’s rates if they do not report the accident. That, too, is inadvisable as it is highly likely a violation of their insurance contract, voiding the policy and any future coverage. But to be abundantly clear, if you did not cause the accident or were somehow contributorily negligent, your rates should not go up. If you have any questions, please contact a Frederick motorcycle accident lawyer to talk about it.
