MOTORCYCLE WRECK ATTORNEY IN TEXAS

No matter how careful you are on the roads, accidents can happen to the best of us. When you or a family member has been injured in a motorcycle accident in Granbury, Bedford or Fort Worth Texas areas, you probably have a lot of concerns about the future. The Cain Firm is an established local personal injury law firm, and your Granbury Motorcycle accident lawyer is just a phone call away. We have 13 years of experience helping people like you who need expert legal representation and support during difficult times.

Texas is an at-fault state, meaning that the person who caused the accident is responsible for paying damages to the victim(s). There’s also a comparative Negligence Rule in Texas that assigns a percentage of blame if both drivers share a degree of fault, such as if one driver was drinking and the other was driving recklessly. In those situations, any insurance payouts will be split along the same percentage. The state of Texas also requires all vehicle owners to carry a minimum amount of liability insurance to help cover their obligations. The breakdown is:

Bodily injury, one person: $30,000

Bodily injury, all persons, one accident): $60,000

Property damage liability: $25,000

The first thing you should do after an accident is to contact the police to file a report. This is only required if the accident resulted in injuries requiring medical treatment and property damage in an amount exceeding $1,000. Many people would be in shock after an accident, especially if a motorcycle were involved. You may discover the next morning that you were hurt worse than you thought, so it helps to have an official record of the accident.

The second call you make should be to your own insurance company. You aren’t required to call right away, but some policies have a time limit. The sooner you get the claims process started, the better. Your insurance adjuster’s report will provide additional documentation should we have to take your case to court.

If the accident was bad, for instance, if it resulted in death or disability, your motorcycle was totaled, or you’re hospitalized and facing a long recovery period, the basic liability insurance may not be enough to compensate you or your loved ones. The other driver’s insurance company will do anything to avoid paying more, or they may try to offer you a small amount above the liability maximum. That’s when you need to call The Cain Firm.

WHY YOU NEED A QUALIFIED MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT ATTORNEY IN GRANBURY

Texas has a two-year statute of limitations for filing personal injury lawsuits. That means time is of the essence if you need to take the matter to court. The other driver’s insurance company will probably contact you with an offer. Don’t take it. Make a phone call to us instead. Accepting the first offer from an insurance company means you won’t be able to sue for compensation later.

You won’t know the total cost of your recovery if the accident caused traumatic brain injury or you’re disabled, which are conditions that can worsen with time. In the meantime, you still have medical and living expenses, the possibility of rehabilitation therapy, and a lot of time away from work. You may also be entitled to damages for pain, suffering, and diminished quality of life.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE CAIN FIRM

Our goal is to take care of the legal details of your case so that you can focus on your recovery. It’s our job to deal with the insurance company once we take your case. Anything you say to the insurance investigator could be used against you. That means turning over any correspondence to us and referring any phone calls to our office.

Using your statements, those of any witness, medical reports, and the results of any police or other investigation, we’ll try to negotiate a fair settlement on your behalf. If we can’t work things out with the insurance company, we’ll take your case to trial.

There is no magic formula for compensation after a motorcycle accident in Texas. We’ll work hard to get you the maximum amount allowed by law for your situation. Judges or juries consider several factors into consideration when determining a settlement, including:

Severity of the injury

Prognosis for recovery

Cost of medical expenses, including future or ongoing care and rehabilitation

Amount of past and future lost wages

Degree of fault

Amount of corroborating evidence

Our skill at preparing your case and arguing on your behalf
