They say there are two kinds of people who drive motorcycles: (1) those who have laid it down; and (2) those who are going to lay it down. Often overlooked is the question of "Why was it laid down?"
It is not uncommon for an insurance adjuster to lowball the victim of a motorcycle accident because they disapprove of the biking lifestyle or think that the motorcycle wreck was the biker's fault. Many people, particularly with a loud motorcycle, assume that the biker was speeding or not paying attention. A big part of our job is to educate the insurance adjuster and often juries about the realities of motorcycling.
We have not run across a motorcycle crash case where our client was talking on a cell phone, drinking coffee or putting on lipstick. In fact, it is often the preoccupied or distracted driver of a car or truck that fails to see the motorcycle. Usually, this is through no fault of the cyclist. Our job is to prove that the responsibility rests with the driver of the car — if not in settlement negotiations, then at the trial of your claim for damages.
Dallas D. Norton, Esq. and his staff represent personal injury and wrongful death clients in motorcycle accident claims and litigation. Maybe you are an occasional or recreational rider, a hardcore motorcycle rider, or an older rider who has just rediscovered the freedom of motorcycles. Whatever the case, if you have been involved in a motorcycle accident or even had to "lay it down" because of a "miss-and-run" vehicle, contact us for a free consultation about your potential case and rights.
Victims riding on motorcycles often need special attention.
One thing that our motorcycle accident clients tend to have in common is the fact that the drivers who hit them never saw the motorcycle. Under Colorado law a driver is negligent for failing to see what could have easily been seen had the driver looked. Another common factor amongst motorcycle accident victims is the type of injury. In fact, injuries to victims of motorcycle crashes are more serious and often fatal.
There are often horrible and permanent injuries in motorcycle accidents. If the victim is lucky enough to live he or she has at least sustained a serious road rash. Facial scars and body scars are common. Broken bones, brain injuries, spinal cord injuries and permanent disability often result from motorcycle accidents. Many people do not realize that burns from the bike landing on the victim are common. Unfortunately, a wrongful death claim is often all that remains for a victim's family.
Because the injuries are often significant, so are the medical bills and lost wages. Mr. Norton would like to become involved soon after the collision to ensure that proper medical care is obtained and the questions surrounding lost income and increasing bills are addressed. These issues can often be addressed in many ways: medical liens, victims compensation funds, restitution orders, personal injury accident loans for victims and sometimes, although rarely, advances on personal injury settlement proceeds. Our assistance with these real life problems can protect you from the temptation of an inadequate offer in a serious crash case with sever bodily injuries.
