Making a Claim After Your Motorcycle Crash


As a Cleburne Motorcycle Accident Lawyer, I know that many personal injury victims try to deal with the insurance adjustor alone after they have been hurt in a wreck. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that, although I have seen far too many motorcyclists come to me after trying to handle their claim alone for several months, only to find they have made such a mess of things that I'm not able to help them.

One of the most important things you need to understand - and which most people simply don't think of - is that the insurance adjustor is not your friend. Usually, you're not dealing with your own insurance company when you're making a bodily injury claim - you're dealing with the insurance company of the negligent driver. You haven't been paying premiums to them, so they have absolutely no desire to be nice to you. Actually, because their sole purpose is to protect their own profits (and pay you as little as possible) they will pull out their bag of dirty tricks to manipulate you into saying and doing things which could seriously hurt your claim.

I'm not saying this in order to scare you into hiring a Johnson County attorney. There are genuinely some cases which you should be quite capable of resolving on your own. However, you do need to be aware of the risk and be sure of the best way possible of handing the situation.

Perhaps the greatest threat to successfully resolving a motorcycle collision claim for compensation is the recorded statement. The at-fault motorist's insurance company will try to get you to provide them with a recorded statement to give your account of the crash and your injuries as soon as possible. You have no legal obligation to provide them with this.

The reason you should be so careful when it comes to giving a recorded statement is that you're dealing with a trained professional who will try to manipulate your statement, who will ask leading questions, who will try to get you to say your injuries are not that serious. Trust me, the insurance adjustor is your enemy - no matter how friendly or nonchalant they might seem. Insurance adjustors get big bonuses if they can help their company deny a payment. Do not trust them.

Nevertheless, if you do decide you want to try and handle your personal injury claim without the aid of a lawyer, it is essential that you go into battle informed and prepared. I wrote a book called Roadmap To Winning Your Texas Motorcycle Accident Claim designed specifically to help motorcyclists after being hurt in a wreck. You can get a free copy of this book, even you don't chose to hire me. To request your complimentary copy today, please call me toll free at 80-354-6275. I won't even charge you for shipping.
