The Truth about a Los Angeles Motorcycle Accident Lawsuit
Myth: Motorcyclists never really get their day in court. People see us as renegades or reckless risk-takers.
Fact: Some people do think this way, but California law prescribes that you are treated equally and that decisions are made based on the facts of your case.
It may be challenging to convince certain jury members to forget their prejudices, but that’s exactly why you need a smart, experienced motorcycle attorney. We know how to overcome this challenge.
Myth: If I file a lawsuit, I’ll just get caught up in some machine that’s all about greed. I’m a biker! Freedom matters to me!
Fact: We care about freedom, too. That’s why we want to make sure you have the freedom to take care of your health, return to work, replace your bike, and get back on the road.
Our lawyers can negotiate with insurers to get you a fair settlement or we can take your case to court if you need the benefit of a judge or jury. This isn’t a machine; it’s our United States legal system and it protects you.
Myth: I’m fully insured. I don’t need to file a lawsuit.
Fact: You are eligible for full recovery because you are fully insured. That is very different from the fact that you will receive full recovery. The insurance company is a business, and businesses do not like to pay money if they can get away with keeping it for themselves. Do not expect to receive the full amount of your damages without an attorney.
