Even if you don’t know your
rights,
it’s reassuring to know, we do.
You have been injured in a motorcycle
accident and it’s not your fault.
You may have a legal right to recover
money damages from the person responsible (other driver, road authority,
or manufacturer).
Even if the accident is your fault you may be entitled to "no fault
accident benefits" to compensate you for part of your income loss, as well
as your medical, rehabilitation and other expenses.
You need an expert to help you navigate through one of the most
complicated areas of the law. But what do you have to do to protect your
interests and assert your rights?
Compensation
If your accident was not your fault, you may be entitled to compensation
from the other driver for financial losses such as lost income and
benefits, lost working capacity, and loss of opportunity. If you have a
serious and permanent impairment of an important function, you may also be
entitled to compensation for pain, suffering and loss of enjoyment of
life.
Your family members may also be entitled to compensation for care they
provide to you and for damage to their relationship with you.
Most compensation claims are settled at some time after we start a
lawsuit, often through mediation. Some cases are decided at a trial. As
your lawyer, my job is to do whatever it takes to get you the compensation
you deserve.
No Fault Accident Benefits
The reality is that obtaining the compensation you deserve can take a long
time. You may be unable to work and have expensive medical, rehabilitation
and other costs. And that can cause great hardship for victims and their
families, especially when you have bills to pay and no income.
This is where no-fault benefits from your own insurance company can help,
even if you are at fault for the accident.
The rules and procedures for recovering the benefits you deserve are
complicated and. technical. And while Insurance companies often pay these
claims for a while, many of them stop paying before the claim for
compensation is finished.
The good new is that our licensed paralegal, Patti Kennedy, is now putting
her experience and knowledge of the system as a senior insurance adjuster
to work for our clients. She knows the rules and procedures and how to use
them to get your claim paid. If the insurance company will not pay, it may
be necessary to start a lawsuit or arbitration. .
