Cars Offer Protection in a Crash, but Motorcycles Don't.

Since motorcycle riders tend to suffer severe injuries in the event of a crash, the medical and legal processes are more drawn out and complicated.

The road to recovery can be long, so it’s important to have your legal team in place along the way. We’ll stick with you as you navigate your medical process.

In the meantime, we’ll be getting all of the supporting materials ready to file your claim as soon as you achieve your maximum level of medical recovery.

Establishing Fault in Accidents: Motorcycles vs Cars

Historically, investigators from the highway patrol, police department and insurance companies often frame these incidents with the motorcyclist at fault based on a biased assumption that they were speeding or driving recklessly. Eyewitnesses are also more likely to misjudge the speed of a motorcycle on account of its small size.

Though it might be unintentional, this bias has important real-life ramifications. At Elizabeth Bernard Law, we face the bias against motorcycles head-on.

Instead of allowing these assumptions to affect the result of our cases,

We’ll establish the truth of the matter with the right evidence.

This allows us to prevent distortion, misinterpretation or even loss of evidence.

If the accident wasn’t your fault, we will prove it.

Achieve the highest quality of life possible, post-accident.

We’re here to ensure your compensation is appropriate based on the treatment you’ve received and what your future looks like. Compensation in these cases is not simply to pay past medical bills. When it comes time to file, together we can make a serious assessment of your injuries and how they might affect both your quality of life and your ability to work.

From documenting the accident and filing your claims to recording medical bills and negotiating with insurance companies, we will have your case covered so you can spend your time and energy healing.

With strong and supportive legal counsel from us at Elizabeth Bernard Law, you can move through your recovery with peace of mind, confident we’re handling every detail with the utmost thoughtfulness and care.
