More people are choosing to ride motorcycles. They are fun and they are far less expensive than car. However, they do not offer the protection of a car and motorcyclists are at risk for serious injuries in an accident. Even if they wear their helmet and other protective gear they can suffer a massive injury such as a traumatic brain injury or lose a limb. If the accident was caused by a negligent driver, then they are entitled to damages and should consult with a Motorcycle Injury Lawyer Murfreesboro TN.
An injured motorcyclist should never attempt to negotiate with an insurance company representative. They may appear to be compassionate and caring, but that is an act. They are really in the person’s hospital room to convince them to settle for far less money than they are entitled to. Once an injured person settles for this smaller amount, they will not be allowed to ask for more. The difference between a settlement and what they are entitled to could be hundreds of thousands of dollars. An attorney from Law Office of Gritton & Gritton PLLC will be glad to meet with them. The first consultation is free and they are under no further obligation.
A person who is out of work and watching medical bills pile up may not think they can afford a lawyer. The law allows a Motorcycle Injury Lawyer Murfreesboro TN to take the case on a contingency basis. That means the lawyer will be paid a percentage of any settlement he wins for his client. If he fails to win one, he doesn’t get paid. This guarantees that the poorest person can fight the largest insurance company. The law firm will put up the finds to hire expert witnesses and private investigators. The injured person can focus on getting better, while the lawyer focuses on his case.
Many cases are settled out of court. When the insurance company sees that the plaintiff has hired an aggressive attorney who has put together a compelling case, they often don’t want to face a jury. Therefore they make a substantial offer. While the injured person always has the right to accept any offer, their lawyer will tell them if it is a far settlement given the accident and injuries.
