Proving Fault in a NYC Motorcycle Accident
For an injured biker or relative of a deceased biker to get compensation for damages after a motorcycle accident, there must be proof you weren't at fault for the crash.
In collisions caused by texting or phone calls made while driving, cell phone records are often used to show the other driver was on their cell phone at the time of the crash. We will also use medical records, witness testimony, and experts to reconstruct the accident scene.
Preparing for Your Motorcycle Accident Case
It's important to remember that no matter how clear-cut your case may be, insurance companies will attempt to offer you a much lower settlement amount than you might need. Insurance companies might even prolong or reject a legitimate claim. The attorney for the individual or entity that you're taking to court will be building a case against your claims. By making sure you have extensive evidence to build and prove your case, you'll be better prepared to face the challenges presented by the other party.
Having an attorney on your side experienced handling motorcycle accident cases will make a big difference. For many bikers, this is their first time dealing with insurance adjusters and the civil justice system. At Wingate, Russotti, Shapiro, Moses & Halperin, LLP, we provide all our clients with our knowledge and insight into these types of cases. Let us fight for your legal rights.
