Do You Have a Case? It Costs Nothing to Find Out!
Because each motorcycle accident lawsuit case is unique, it could take several months or even years to settle a claim or complete a trial. A motorcycle injury lawsuit involves the following steps;
Claim Assessment - When a claim is filed, an assessment is made to ensure you have a valid case. This assessment examines injury/accident details, evidence, damages suffered, medical expenses, cost of future care, and the negligence of the other party during your free consultation.
Investigation - If you have a qualified case, a thorough examination of your motorcycle injury will begin immediately to preserve evidence. Negligent parties will also be notified, and demand will be issued for the preservation of all evidence, including photographs, medications, medical records, and other data.
File and Complaint - Once your evidence is preserved, a lawsuit will be filed against all parties who are deemed negligent in the accident/injury.
Case Discovery - This is where case information is requested from the other parties, conduct depositions, interview witnesses, and obtain expert analyses, injury reconstruction, and medical evidence to build a solid case.
Begin Mediation - Victims and defendants will attend mediation to determine if a fair settlement can be reached. During mediation, a negotiator will attempt to make a settlement to compensate for pain, suffering, and other damages. The majority of motorcycle injury lawsuits will settle before going to trial.
Go to Trial - If no settlement is reached in mediation, the lawsuit will proceed to trial. A jury or judge will hear the case. Attorney's will present evidence and participate in closing arguments.
Settlement - The judge or jury will then determine fault and decide on the amount of compensation to award for your losses.
