Do I Need An Attorney After a Crash?
Motorcycle claims are generally ones that demand an attorney and not self-representation. The damages are often serious, and the potential for insurer denials and devaluation of your claims is equally high.
To address this complexity, your attorney can:
- Gather scene photographs, video footage, and statements from eyewitnesses.
- Uncover all liable parties and available insurance policies connected to the crash.
- Partner with your healthcare providers to organize your medical harm records.
- Work with experts to strengthen your claim.
- Calculate total damages, including future medical care, therapy, and lost income potential.
- Manage all communications with the insurance company.
Let our legal team focus on your claim and help you avoid mistakes that hurt your chances of recovering compensation.
Handling Fault Allegations From Insurers
Nebraska is an at-fault state for motor vehicle accidents. That means an at-fault driver is responsible for damages they cause in an accident.
But insurance companies frequently attempt to assign blame to motorcyclists. To support their allegations, they use old stereotypes like motorcycles being dangerous or riders being prone to speeding and lane weaving.
These allegations are not always true. Even when they are, Nebraska’s modified comparative negligence system allows you to recover damages as long as your share of fault is under 50%. Your total compensation will be reduced by your fault percentage, but you are eligible for damages. Reaching 50% fault prevents any financial recovery.
You may not share fault and shouldn’t accept blame attempts from an insurer. An attorney can evaluate whether you share fault and protect your right to a full recovery.
