Motorcycle Accident FAQ's
Q: How do insurance companies decide who was at fault in a motorcycle accident?
A: Insurance companies use police reports, statements taken of the motorcycle rider, statements from the insured, from other witnesses, physical evidence, and other facts or details to decide who was at fault. In other words, insurance companies early on will build a case against the rider in order to justify either denying a motorcycle claim or in efforts to reduce claim value. As a strategy, insurance companies often will assume the rider is at fault and once they dig in their heels they rarely budge unless you have professional help on your side before they try that tactic. Because motorcycle accidents are more costly to the insurance company because they usually involve more serious injuries, they may, and frequently do, try to blame you for your own injuries rather than pay up. An experienced motorcycle injury lawyer who rides and understands the "Rules of the Road" will conduct another investigation, protect your rights, and get you the full settlement you deserve.
