Motorcycle accidents often result in severe injuries. If the driver falls off while trying to avoid another vehicle or is hit by another vehicle, their body takes a direct impact. Around 75% of motorcycle accidents involve a serious injury. It is common for a biker to sustain multiple serious injuries which require years of rehabilitation as well as time off work. Sometimes the injuries are so severe the rider is never able to return to work and their life is permanently altered. The expenses associated with lengthy medical treatment, in addition to lost wages, can ruin anybody financially.

People often wonder where to even start to sort out all the issues they’re now encountering after an accident. What if your motorcycle was your only vehicle? How will you get to doctor’s appointments or work? Who will pay for the repairs and how long will they take? Can you get a rental car and for how long? Who will pay your medical bills? Will your health insurance cover your bills? How will your bills be paid each month? These are merely a sample of the questions most people encounter after an accident. Let us help you solve them.
We’ve seen accidents create overwhelming crises, filled with many unknown questions for the injured person and their family. Our job as motorcycle attorneys is to resolve all the issues created due to the accident. We will take the stress off your shoulders and relieve you of the complex concerns associated with a Nebraska motorcycle case, so you can focus on your recovery.
WHAT YOU SHOULD NOT DO FOLLOWING A NEBRASKA MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT
Don’t Sign Any Paperwork
Signing paperwork you don’t fully understand can end your case. You may sign away your legal right to a future settlement.
Don’t Downplay Your Injuries
How you feel today is not necessarily a good determinant of how you’ll feel weeks or months from now. Your injuries should be fully examined by medical professionals before you consider settling your case.
Don’t Let The Insurance Company Record Your Conversations
The insurance company may ask for a recorded statement for ‘accuracy purposes’, but they will use it against you down the road. You can tell them you aren’t comfortable with a recorded statement.
Don’t Trust The Insurance Company
The insurance company is not on your side. They may act nice and trustworthy, but that’s how they’re trained. They’re trained to gain your trust so when they make you a lowball offer, you feel it is fair and accept it. They often discourage you from speaking to an attorney. If they were on your side, they’d have no problem with you speaking to an attorney, especially since it is always free! They know accident victims with attorneys receive significantly more money than those that do not, even after the attorney’s fees are paid. This is why they discourage people from hiring attorneys.
At Beck & Beck, we don’t charge any money up front or hourly fee. We’re proud of the case results we’ve attained for people of all walks of life. If we don’t win your case, you don’t owe us a dime.
Don’t Wait Too Long Before Calling A Motorcycle Accident Attorney
Once the other driver notifies their insurance company of the accident, they may try to get you to settle quickly, before you even know the true extent of your injuries. If you don’t have an experienced attorney, you’ll be stuck dealing with everything on your own. The insurance company handles these cases all day, every day. They know what they’re doing. If you’re inexperienced, your case may be sunk before it has a chance of getting off the ground.
The insurance company may deploy underhanded tactics if you don’t have an attorney. Here is a list of things that may occur:
- Refusing to provide a rental car even though the police report clearly shows their driver is at-fault.
- Valuing your motorcycle for significantly less that it is worth.
- Denying full or partial responsibility for the crash and blaming you.
- Dragging their feet while they ‘verify insurance coverage’.
- Refusing to pay some of your medical bills since they attribute them to pre-existing conditions.
- Refusing to pay your medical bills in full.
- Refusing to pay lost wages
- Denial that your injuries were sustained in the crash because you waited a few weeks to seek medical treatment.
Unless you’re highly experienced in auto accident law, trying to negotiate with the veteran insurance company adjusters is quite an uphill battle. Call us today and we’ll answer all your questions for free. We’re happy to help
