Motorcycle Accident Lawyer in Philadelphia

The weeks and months following a motorcycle accident are understandably stressful. You are probably dealing with a lot of pain. If you have to miss work to recover from your injuries, you might have financial worries, too. Then there is the endless to-do list that follows any vehicle accident, which might include:

• Receiving initial medical treatment;
• Undergoing physical therapy or rehabilitation;
• Purchasing assistive devices, if the wreck impacted your mobility;
• Repairing or replacing your motorcycle;
• Securing alternative transportation;
• Keeping track of bills and receipts; and
• Missing time from work and losing out on your income.

Often times, the insurance company calls the victim shortly after the crash—sometimes within a day or two—and offers a settlement. It can be tempting to take this offer, especially when your bills are piling up and you need money. This is almost never the right decision to make.

By taking the insurance company’s initial offer and not hiring a personal injury attorney to negotiate on your behalf, you could leave thousands of dollars on the table. Generally, an insurance company offer covers your property damage and medical bills—though rarely all of them—but makes no mention of missed work, reduced earning capacity, or pain and suffering. However, you deserve damages in all of these categories.
