Press Release Summary: Knowing the type of fracture sustained by a motorcycle rider
involved in an accident is critical information in assessing damages for a lawsuit.


Press Release Body: Motorbike riders have a bad reputation for being reckless.
Interestingly enough though, statistics show accidents involving motorcycles are
more often the fault of the other vehicle, not the biker.


In most cases collisions are with passenger cars and happen because the driver of
the car did not yield the right-of-way to the biker. That is not the only reason
either. Other causes include the driver not being able to see the biker in the car's
blind spots or being able to accurately assess the speed of the bike.


In the event of a collision, do not under any circumstances take the first
settlement offer from the insurance company. The best decision is to contact an
experienced motorcycle attorney. Insurance companies are generally looking for a
quick settlement, not a just one. A just one only comes through taking a motorcycle
lawsuit to court.


To gage if a lawyer will be in the client's corner, the first thing they will do is
make sure the insurance agent is paying close attention to bike damage. Having a
lawyer involved from the beginning will guarantee that happens.


If the lawyer files suit quickly, it puts pressure on the insurance company to pay
up. It will also, in most cases, stop the driver of the car from leaving town. Why
take the chance of settling for less than what the accident may actually be worth,
or miss the opportunity to get compensated enough to repair the bike.


Medical records are critical and they need to be obtained with alacrity. They tell
the story of fractured bones and recovery times. There are seven categories of
fractures and getting the medical file categorized is critical to the disposition of
the claim.


Don't assume the injuries are inconsequential. Hidden fractures and other medical
problems could arise further down the road. A lawyer knows this and knows how to
prepare a lawsuit to maximize claim benefits.


A qualified motorcycle attorney will handle the case and be able to get a fair
judgment with a minimum of fuss.
