Motorcycle accident Lawyer Clackamas
Motorcycle accidents often result in serious injury, even death, to the operator or passenger involved. Injuries may range from a minimum of road rash to broken bones, head injuries, amputations, and death. The law governing motorcycle accidents differs greatly from the law governing accidents involving only automobiles.
Lawyers and insurance adjusters know that there are 3 categories of issues that typically arise in a claim after a motorcycle accident:
-
Liability
-
Damages
-
Insurance Coverage
Liability refers to the question of who is at fault and to what degree. The insurance company representing the person who caused the accident obviously wants to minimize the fault of the driver and maximize your degree of comparative fault.
Damages refers to the losses or injuries that were caused as a result of the accident. Damages include medical bills, lost wages, future loss of earning capacity, pain, suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and other elements of damage.
Insurance coverage is not as simple a determination as one might expect. Often there are disputes over which of several insurance policies are responsible for paying your damages. Insurance companies also make efforts to deny or defeat coverage. When underinsured motorist or uninsured motorists are involved, there are multiple issues that must be resolved to ensure maximum financial recovery.
The entire area of insurance coverage is best not entered without a competent and experienced lawyer.
