We Work Hard to Get the Compensation You Deserve
A motorcyclist has nothing to soften the blow of a collision; therefore, injuries obtained in a motorcycle accident can be more extensive than if the driver were in a car. To make matters worse, motorcycle insurance is not usually as comprehensive as automobile insurance and might not include medical payment coverage.
Our law firm prides itself on securing the maximum compensation possible for our clients, as quickly and efficiently as possible. Our Boise attorneys know how much your motorcycle accident case may be worth, and we will not accept less than you deserve.
We aggressively negotiate with the insurance companies on your behalf, and we will not back down until we have secured every penny owed to you. Every collision case is different, but in general, recoverable damages may include:
- Medical expenses – including ongoing care needs, such as physical therapy or extended nursing
- Lost income – including lost employment benefits and the loss of your future earning capacity if you cannot go back to work because of a disabling injury
- Property damages – including the cost of repairing or replacing your motorcycle
- Pain and suffering – including anxiety, depression, physical pain, and reduced quality of life
Due to the lack of vehicle protection or other safety features, motorcycle riders are vulnerable to serious or fatal crash injuries. If your loved one died because of an accident, we can help eligible survivors pursue wrongful death compensation. We know that money cannot ease your grief, but it can remove some of your financial stress as you figure out life’s next chapter.
How Do Our Lawyers Prove Fault for a Motorcycle Crash?
Idaho is an at-fault car insurance state, meaning drivers must pay for accidents for which they are legally responsible. To prove that a motorist owes you compensation, our Boise lawyer must show that their negligence caused the motorcycle collision. A driver is negligent when they break traffic laws, such as running a red light or speeding, as well as other dangerous or illegal behaviors, like drinking or texting and driving.
We will do the work needed to build your case, collecting essential documents, such as medical records and police reports. We can find and interview eyewitnesses and hire experts to give testimony when necessary. We can also obtain physical evidence, including surveillance footage and photographs of the accident scene.
Time Limits for Filing a Motorcycle Accident Claim
The statute of limitations establishes a window for filing personal injury lawsuits. Under Idaho Code § 5-219.4, you have two years to file most auto accident cases. Missing this deadline is usually grounds for the court to throw out your suit.
If you cannot take legal action, the insurance company has no incentive to offer you fair payments, so the statute of limitations matters, even if you expect to settle your case outside of court. Our Boise attorney can help you get started on your motorcycle injury claim immediately and it is important that we track your deadline to file so you do not miss out on necessary compensation.
