Motorcycles are a popular means of transportation and\nrecreation for millions of people all over the world, and for many reasons.\nThey are open and easy to maneuver, giving riders a unique and singular\nexperience on the road compared to driving a conventional car or truck.\nHowever, the best aspects of owning and operating a motorcycle are also the\ngreatest risk factors. Riders are at a much higher risk of accidents and\nserious injuries because they are so open and vulnerable on the road. These\nrisk factors are heightened further by negligent or reckless drivers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a motorcycle enthusiast, it is important to know\nhow to protect yourself on the road; but even the safest drivers are subject to\nthe negligence of others. If you were seriously injured on a motorcycle,\nwhether as a driver or passenger, it is wise to learn what you need to know\nabout pursuing a legal claim against the party (or parties) that caused your\naccident, as you could be entitled to compensation for your damages and losses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Motorcycle Injury Insurance Claims<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to motorcycle accidents, Indiana is an \u201cat-fault\u201d state. This means that motorcycle injury victims should file claims with the at-fault party\u2019s insurance carrier, rather than their own. However, opposing insurance companies will generally be very conservative with their settlement offers or will make no offer, which is why the most important priority for your motorcycle accident claim is to retain proper legal representation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contact a licensed Indiana personal injury lawyer who focuses on motorcycle and motor vehicle accident claims. They have the knowledge and resources to ensure you receive a full and fair settlement to cover hospital bills, medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working With Your Lawyer<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

You will set an appointment to meet with your personal\ninjury attorney for an initial consultation. This time will be used to discuss\nyour claim in detail. Upon further meetings and discussions, you and your\nlawyer will ultimately work toward developing a strong and impactful case to\nprove fault and show evidence of all of your losses and damages. From there,\nyour lawyer will implement all the necessary strategies and manage all\nnegotiations to recover a full and fair settlement for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Determining Fault<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

For motorcycle accidents, the degree of fault is taken into consideration when deciding how much compensation will be awarded to the victim. This is called \u201ccomparative fault\u201d.  In Indiana, a motorist must be 50% or less at-fault to be awarded any compensation for their damages and losses. See our blog, \u201cWhat is Comparative Fault Analysis in a Personal Injury Case?<\/a>\u201d to understand these legal concepts more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
