Motorcycle Accident

Personal Injury Lawyer Based in North Charleston, SC

Call E. Lindsay Blanks PA if You Have Been Injured in a Motorcycle Accident

As an experienced Charleston motorcycle accident lawyer, I understand that having a motorcycle accident can change your life drastically. Motorcyclists do not have the protection that car drivers have and as such, many crashes between cars and motorcycles result in the motorcyclists dying. Unfortunately, the majority of these wrecks are due to car drivers. Seventy-five percent of wrecks involving cars and motorcycles are the fault of the person driving the car. A motorcyclist is 35 times more likely to die in an accident than the driver of a car. A motorcyclist is 35 times more likely to die in an accident than the driver of a car.

A Charleston Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Can Get You Compensation

Fortunately, if you are in an accident while driving your motorcycle the law allows you to be compensated for your loss. Motorcyclists can recover:

• Medical bills
• Lost wages
• Property damage
• Pain and suffering
• Punitive damages

Since motorcycle injuries can lead to trauma with major organs such as your brain, we will work to maximize your settlement offered to you, so you can get the medical attention you may need.

A Charleston Personal Injury lawyer Will Investigate Your Case Immediately

We begin the process by investigating the scene of the collision. With the assistance of experts, such as accident recreation experts and medical professionals, we’ll compare information derived from the interview with you and the facts collected at the scene in order to get a better idea about how the accident transpired. Armed with specifics about the accident, we will meet with the other party’s lawyers and insurance provider to settle the claim. Of course, you don’t have to worry about coming up with a number for your settlement, we can estimate the value of your motorcycle accident case based on your hospital bills, lost wages, permanent injuries, and other factors. We will consider past settlements received by others in cases very similar to yours to determine an acceptable settlement. In fact, in severe motorcycle accident cases, it is not uncommon to get large settlements.

Let Your Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Fight the Insurance Company for You

Even when their client is at fault, insurance companies will attempt to offer settlements that do not begin to cover the amount of your loss. Since accidents are the insurance company’s specialty, they will have all the information they need in a matter of weeks and approach you with an offer. As the victim, you still have your medical bills coming in, your motorcycle has yet to be fixed and you do not know how long you will be out of work, but the insurance company will strategically offer you a settlement in order to avoid future costs. You don’t have to worry about negotiating with the insurance company. As your Charleston motorcycle accident lawyer, we will do that for you. Your focus should be on recuperating.

We Will Go to Court if Necessary to Maximize Your Recovery

If a settlement can’t be reached with the insurance company, we will prepare to go to trial on your behalf. All the information gathered during their initial investigation will be presented during the course of the trial. We will build a case that demonstrates their client was at fault, and as such they are responsible for making you whole.
