Motorcycle Accident Lawyers - Charlotte, NC
Before you retain an attorney for a motorcycle accident claim, it is important to understand that motorcycle accident cases are not like car accident or truck accident cases. For starters, North Carolina insurance laws are different for motorcycle accident claims than for car or truck accident claims.
In addition, most motorcycle accidents result in catastrophic or even fatal injury because motorcycles do not offer air bags or other safety features provided in cars and trucks. Finally, it is important to understand that juries treat motorcyclists differently than car or truck drivers.
Jury Bias in Motorcycle Accident Claims
Whether it is fair or not, juries often view motorcyclists as pleasure seekers and, as such, they often think of motorcyclists as people who either invite danger or drive dangerously themselves. Defendants and their attorneys know this fact and often seek to take advantage of this perceived advantage.
To combat this challenge, you will need an attorney who will carefully review the facts of your case, prepare exhaustively for the possibility of trial and stand up to the insurance company attorneys if they are unwilling to make a fair settlement offer. Our attorneys have the experience, resources and determination to aggressively pursue motorcycle accident claims.
We prepare thoroughly for the possibility of trial and make certain that defendants know we are prepared to take a case to trial if necessary to pursue full and fair compensation for our clients.
Wrongful Death Claims
Tragically, many motorcyclists are killed as a result of a collision with a car or truck. If you have lost a family member as a result of a motorcycle accident, you may have a basis for recovery through a wrongful death claim. The type of damages allowed by North Carolina law in these cases is unique. Our attorneys have the experience and resources necessary to aggressively pursue wrongful death claims.
