If you have been injured from a motorcycle accident in the Fort Worth, there are many things that could be running through your mind. Most importantly one needs to physically get better. Go to a doctor, have surgeries, and do everything you can to get better. Something one wants to stay clear of is signing a release. As a Board Certified Injury Lawyer practicing motorcycle accidents law in Texas, I know the devastating effects of signing a release too early.
I recently had a case that involved a lady riding her motorcycle home from work when another vehicle caused a collision. She went down and hurt her wrist. She was transported to the hospital and released. She heard that I offer a free consultation to all injury cases and asked me a list of questions. A day before she called me she signed a medical release with Progressive, which in return wrote her a check for $3,000. That sounded great to her at the time, but after she received the money she found out that she needed a major surgery on her wrist. Since she had signed a release there was absolutely nothing I could do for her. After the surgery is completed she will have to miss several weeks of work, which meant no pay, which meant it was going to make it difficult to make her house and motorcycle payments.
I advise all my clients not to sign any release that an insurance company offers. Why? Well, by getting you to sign a release it saves their huge company tons of money. Once you sign the release for your Fort Worth motorcycle accident there is nothing any attorney can do for you. I understand that the money upfront can look good from the insurance company, but they are trying to give you the least amount of money possible.
