Compassionate Legal Support After A Motorcycle Accident
Motorcycle accidents are a serious matter. On a motorcycle, you are more vulnerable than drivers of other vehicles and more likely to experience a severe injury in an accident.
Attorney Ryan Nguyen has over 10 years of experience representing victims of motorcycle accidents. He knows the law and will fight for your best interests. Ryan will investigate your accident and gather all the necessary evidence to build a strong case. Insurance companies often try to offer lowball settlements. Ryan will negotiate with and fight against the insurance companies on your behalf; his goal is to get you the compensation you deserve.
What Can An Attorney Do For Me After A Motorcycle Accident?
An attorney can help you with several things after a motorcycle accident, including:
- Filing a claim
- Negotiating a settlement
- Filing a lawsuit
- Going to trial
- Collecting your damages
A lawyer can also help you negotiate and deal with insurance companies. Whether you were in a motorcycle accident or other type of motor vehicle accident, insurance companies often offer a low settlement, hoping you will accept and not pursue more damages. However, these low offers often are not enough to cover your medical bills and other expenses after an accident.
What Are My Damages?
Your damages are the financial losses you have suffered due to the accident. This can include:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Disability
- Property damage
The amount you recover from your accident will depend on your injuries and their impact on your ability to work and support your loved ones.
How Much Will It Cost To Hire An Attorney?
Ryan Nguyen Attorney At Law offers free consultations, and if you use the firm to pursue your claim, you will not be charged unless Ryan wins your case.
What documents and evidence should I gather for my case?
A copy of the police report created at the accident scene is helpful. It may include the names of parties involved in the accident, the date of the accident, witness information and clues to how the accident occurred. This document is often used to hold liable parties responsible for their negligent actions.
Medical bills related to the accident can be used to help determine compensation. Medical records can speak to the pain and suffering that you experienced, which can also affect the compensation you receive.
What should I do if the other party’s insurance company contacts me?
Insurance companies look for ways to reduce their liability, and anything you say can potentially be twisted to reduce your compensation or deny your claim altogether. It is far better to decline to speak to the other party’s insurance company until you have an attorney. You can reach out to Ryan Nguyen to negotiate with the other driver’s insurance company on your behalf.
Can I still recover damages if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Yes. So long as you are 50% or less to blame for the wreck and your injuries, you can still recover compensation. Your damages, or the amount you are eligible to receive, will be reduced, however, according to your degree of fault. For example, if you are 10% at fault and your losses total $10,000, you would only receive $9,000.
What is the statute of limitations for filing a motorcycle accident claim in Texas?
From the date of your motorcycle accident, you have two years to file a claim. You should talk to an attorney soon after your accident to begin your case as early as possible, however, since valuable evidence can disappear quickly in the days and weeks following a wreck.
What happens if the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured?
Recovering compensation can be difficult when the other party is uninsured or underinsured. Attorney Ryan Nguyen can help you explore your legal options so that you can still recover compensation.
