How Our Motorcycle Accident Attorney Can Help with Your Case
Managing a legal case while recovering from your injuries can be overwhelming. Our motorcycle accident attorneys can handle the entire process of your claim or lawsuit by:
Helping You Navigate Your Legal Options
It can be hard to understand how to proceed after an accident between questions about Florida’s no-fault insurance system and your personal injury protection (PIP) coverage. However, we can explain your legal options.
If someone else was responsible for your accident and you are facing serious injuries, you could bring a claim against their insurance policy. You could also be eligible to file a lawsuit. Our motorcycle accident lawyer will develop a strategy to seek the best possible compensation in your case.
Pursuing the Best Possible Settlement or Award
When our attorneys investigate your case, we will gather evidence to show what your case is worth. We may use a variety of evidence sources to make your case, including police records, your medical records, witness statements, and more. Then, we will use this evidence to negotiate the best possible settlement.
Our goal is to seek all forms of compensation available to you. However, if the insurance company does not agree to a fair offer, we are prepared to take your case to trial and present our evidence before a jury.
Dealing with Any Pushback From the Liable Party’s Insurance Company
As a motorcyclist, you could face an unfair share of the blame for the crash. Our lawyers understand how this bias against motorcyclists works. We are prepared to stand up for you and present the facts of your case.
We will defend you against unfair tactics from the other party’s insurance company, including:
- Delays or outright denials of your claim
- Claims that their client was not responsible for the crash
- Claims that your injuries are not serious
Important Steps to Take After a Motorcycle Accident in Ocala
The steps you take after a crash can be crucial for your case. We recommend that you:
Gather an Evidence File
It’s good practice to keep track of significant evidence in your case. Consider collecting or hanging onto the following:
- The crash report: As the Ocala Police Department notes, you can request a copy of your accident report online, by phone, or by mail.
- Contact information of witnesses: If you were able to get the names and contact details of anyone who saw the motorcycle crash, retain this information.
- Keep a pain journal: You can record your daily pain levels and how the injury is affecting your life.
Be Sure to get All the Medical Treatment You Need
If you received emergency care after the accident, this is a good place to start for your health and injury case. However, be sure to follow through on your doctors’ orders. Get any recommended physical therapy treatments, take necessary medication, and stick to your treatment plan.
Otherwise, the insurance company could review your medical details and find a way to challenge your case.
Common Questions Victims of Motorcycle Accidents Often Ask
Our attorneys are prepared to answer all your questions and concerns. Here are some answers to common questions asked by victims of motorcycle accidents in Florida:
How Much does It Cost to Hire a Lawyer?
Hiring legal help may be more affordable than you think. At the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine, we work based on contingency fees.
This means that you do not need to pay any upfront fees, hourly rates, or retainers to get started. We only receive payment if we win your case. Our fees come as a portion of your final settlement or award.
Will My Case Go to Court?
Our goal is to go after all available compensation in your case. To do so, we may:
- File an insurance claim and negotiate an out-of-court settlement
- Take your case to trial and seek an award
In many cases, we can seek the compensation you need through an out-of-court settlement. Our lawyers have experience with these negotiations, and we know how to gather and present the strongest possible evidence to make your case.
On the other hand, if the other party will not make a fair offer, we can file a lawsuit. If we go to trial, we will handle litigation for you.
Are There Deadlines to File My Injury Case?
Yes. Keep in mind that you should act promptly to meet the statute of limitations deadline. Per Florida Statutes § 95.11(3)(a), you have up to four years to bring a lawsuit after a motorcycle accident. We can help keep your case on track to meet this deadline.
