Fallston Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

At the Adam Smallow Injury Lawyers, we are passionate advocates for the injured. If a negligent vehicle driver caused an accident and you were injured, we help you fight for compensation. The compensation you can recover includes lost wages, pain and suffering, and medical expenses. We also help you recover the costs of repairing or replacing your motorcycle.

If you or someone you love was injured in a motorcycle accident, we could help you seek compensation from the at-fault driver. Our Fallston personal injury lawyer will assign a value to your injuries and related expenses. We make sure the statute of limitations does not expire and will negotiate with the at-fault driver or their insurance company.

Statistics For Motorcycle Accidents In Maryland

According to Maryland Department of Transportation statistics, 1,400 motorcycle occupants are injured, and as many as 70 are fatally injured in motorcycle accidents every year. When the drivers of cars are involved in motorcycle accidents, possible causes include:

• Driver inattention or distraction
• Failure to yield the right of way
• Alcohol or drug impairment

Your crash report will note these and all contributing factors in your accident. We will obtain a copy of the report when it becomes available. It can help us combat the potential damage you might face if part of the cause of the accident is attributed to you.

Our investigation and evidence collection can prove the at-fault driver’s liability and your right to compensation.

Recoverable Compensation For Motorcycle Accidents

After an accident, you are entitled to recover two types of damages from the at-fault driver. Economic damages include medical bills, lost wages, and motorcycle damage. They can also include the costs of your medications, crutches, cane, wheelchair, or other medical apparatus.

You are also entitled to noneconomic damages like pain and suffering, scarring and disfigurement, and lasting disabilities. Our motorcycle accident attorneys will also collect two types of evidence. We collect the evidence that proves you are entitled to compensation and evidence that proves the value of your compensable damages. If applicable, we also help you recover the funeral and burial expenses for a loved one who did not survive the accident.

Three Mistakes That Could Decrease How Much Compensation You Get For Your Injuries

Sometimes, people make honest errors that could lower the monetary damages they might collect. Unfortunately, a mistake could also result in the insurer denying their claim entirely. Here are a few pitfalls you will want to avoid.

Mistakenly Thinking That The Claims Adjuster Has Your Best Interests At Heart

Successful claims adjusters can be charming when they want to be, luring unsuspecting injured victims into thinking that the adjuster will protect their interests and make a fair settlement offer on their insurance claim. Instead, the adjuster’s job requires them to dispose of injury claims for as little money as possible.

That does not mean claims adjusters are unethical. However, they have a duty to their employer and the insurance company’s shareholders. If the adjuster offers overly generous settlements, the insurer’s profits will go down, and the adjuster will be out of a job.

You do not have to deal with the adjuster by yourself. If you work with a Fallston motorcycle accident lawyer, we will negotiate directly with the adjuster for you.

Posting About The Accident Or Your Injuries On Social Media

We recommend that our motorcycle accident clients stay off social media until we resolve their claims. You might also want to ask your close friends and family to refrain from posting anything about you or the crash on their social media accounts. The insurer will likely try to access your posts to see what they can use against you.

Settling Your Case Before Finishing Your Medical Treatment

You will want to complete your prescribed medical treatment and get released by the doctor before agreeing to a settlement amount. If the filing deadline is approaching, we could file a personal injury lawsuit to protect your right to compensation but keep negotiating with the insurer on your behalf.

If you settle your case too early, you might discover later that you need additional treatment or have long-term impairment from your injuries. The insurer will not pay for any additional medical bills or give you more money for a disability after you settle your injury claim.

Why You Can Afford To Hire A Lawyer To Handle Your Claim

We handle personal injury cases—like Fallston motorcycle injury accident claims—on a contingency-fee basis. The three most important things to know about contingency-fee arrangements are:

• You do not pay upfront legal fees. We work on the entire case without getting paid until the end.
• You do not owe us any legal fees if you do not win. We honor a strict “no fee unless you win” policy.
• Our attorney fees will come out of the settlement proceeds or jury award. At the beginning of your case, you will sign a fee agreement with our firm that explains the percentage we will receive, so there are no surprises.

So, you can kick back and relax when we handle your motorcycle accident claim on contingency. You do not have to worry about how many hours we spend working on your case or how long settlement negotiations take. Instead, we have you covered.
