On the crowded streets and highways in Los Angeles County, motorcycle accidents often leave victims with severe or catastrophic injuries.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there are thousands of individuals hurt in motorcycle accidents every year.
In a significant amount of these accidents, the motorcycle driver who suffered injuries was an innocent victim following all traffic laws and safety precautions. In other words, they did nothing wrong to cause the motorcycle accident.
They were not negligent, impaired, or driving erratically. If you have sustained injuries in a motorcycle accident, you will probably wonder whether you should contact a Los Angeles injury lawyer.
Suppose, by chance; you were already contacted by the other driver's insurance company who offered you some money for your injuries and damages to your motorcycle. In that case, you might conclude that hiring a motorcycle accident injury attorney is not necessary.
You might also think that since the insurance company decided to call you quickly and offer a settlement, why would I need to hire an attorney when I can handle this myself? This is precisely what the insurance company wants you to think.
Why? By offering you a quick settlement, the insurance company frequently attempts to settle your case for the least amount possible. You are not their top priority.
Their main concern is their profits. Therefore, you should always retain an injury lawyer after a motorcycle accident, regardless of the circumstances and statements from the insurance adjuster.
There are numerous ways that an attorney can help you. Having an experienced injury attorney guide you through the personal injury claims process will make it more manageable. Still, it will typically result in obtaining the maximum amount of compensation you are entitled to claims process will not only make it much easier, but it will typically result in getting the total amount of payment you are entitled to.

It's a common tactic by many insurance company adjusters to get you engaged in conservation that is specifically designed to get you to admit full or partial responsibility for the motorcycle accident.
This is one of the main reasons you should say as little as possible when contacted by an insurance company.

This is where an insurance company and the injured motorcycle victim reach an agreement to cover the victim's damages. In theory, this agreed amount is supposed to approximate the amount that the case would receive in a trial.

Our Los Angeles motorcycle accident lawyers will thoroughly review the economic and non-economic losses you have sustained.
