Receiving Fair Compensation After A Motorcycle Accident

If you or a loved one was injured in a motorcycle accident, you need to work with a lawyer who can protect your rights and advocate for your best interests. At my office – Richard Connors, Attorney at Law – that is exactly what you will find. I have decades of experience protecting the rights of accident victims, and I help families in Lynn and throughout Essex County receive the compensation they need.

Motorcycle Accident Injuries Can Be Severe

Motorcycles are inherently dangerous due to their small size and the lack of protection they offer to riders. Motorcycle accidents, especially when involving bigger vehicles, can lead to serious injuries such as:

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Broken bones
• Spinal cord trauma
• Road rash
• Major bruising and lacerations
• Internal organ damage
• Crushing injuries
• Amputations

If you sustain an injury in a motorcycle accident, immediate medical attention is vital. Aside from protecting your health and safety, going to the hospital will create a medical record that you can use for your personal injury claim.

First Steps To Take After A Motorcycle Accident

If you are interested in filing a personal injury lawsuit to receive compensation, there are several things you can do to protect your right to compensation.

• At the scene of the accident, call the police to ensure that the authorities will create a report. Many police departments will not come if they are told no one is injured.
• If you are able, take pictures of your injuries, the road and your motorcycle after the crash.
• Go to the hospital and follow up as needed. Follow any discharge instructions you receive.
• Do not downplay your injuries or pain when talking with others.
• Do not talk with the insurance company about the accident or your injuries until you have talked with an attorney who can advise you of your rights.

I will help ensure we have all the information necessary to build a strong case. I often visit accident scenes to take pictures and get a firsthand understanding of property damage, skid marks and hazards on the road.

Get The Compensation You Need To Move Forward With Your Life

I know figuring out all the details after a vehicle accident can be overwhelming. In addition to recovering physically, you also need to figure out how you will get around, whether you can afford to live without your income if you are unable to work, and how you will afford your medical bills and daily living expenses.

You do not have to face this challenge alone. I can present your case to the insurance company to help ensure you receive the compensation you need and deserve.
