    A Stuart motorcycle accident lawyer can play a significant role in your pursuit of compensation after an accident.

    At Morgan and Morgan, our attorneys may be able to help you get the compensation you deserve after a motorcycle accident in this part of Florida. All you need is a free case evaluation with us. 

    How a Morgan and Morgan Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Can Help

    Because motorcycle accident cases are particularly unique and complex, you can count on the experience of an attorney to fight for your rights. Here's an overview of the many different ways such an attorney may be of assistance to you or a loved one injured in a motorcycle accident. 

    Case Evaluation 

    The first and most important step is to find out whether you have a valid case in the first place. Knowing that you have a valid case gives you the confidence to fight for the compensation you deserve. To do this, the attorney will review the details of your accident and evaluate the strength of your case.  

    Gather Evidence 

    Next, once they know that you have a valid motorcycle accident case, your lawyer will gather essential evidence to establish the cause of the accident and the party at fault. Note that Stuart, just like the rest of Florida, uses the no-fault system when it comes to these kinds of accidents. 

    That means you'll first need to file a claim with your own insurance company. If your claim is more than what's covered by your insurer, and if the injuries you sustained meet a certain threshold, you may be allowed to file a lawsuit against the other party's insurance provider or anyone else who may have contributed to the accident. 

    Determine Liability

    This part is equally critical because that's the only way you'll know where to file a claim beyond the brackets of your own insurance provider. Here, liability could fall on just about any party, from other drivers and vehicle manufacturers to government entities or even private contractors. 

    Evaluate Damages

    This step has everything to do with finding out the amount of compensation you may be entitled to. A motorcycle accident can result in various damages, and you want to make sure you know exactly which ones apply to your case. 

    Create a Legal Strategy

    Without a legal strategy, you won't know where to start with your case, who to hold responsible, and when to file a claim, among other small but critical details. Based on their evaluation of your case, your lawyer will develop a strategic plan tailored to your specific circumstances. This step also helps build a solid legal argument and maximize your chances of recovering reasonable compensation for your injuries and losses. 

    File a Claim

    Once the attorney knows who is responsible for your injuries and losses and they have all the paperwork needed to proceed, they will file a claim on your behalf. They will ensure that your claim is accurately prepared, containing all the relevant details and supporting evidence.  

    Negotiate Compensation

    Insurance companies often try to settle claims for the lowest possible amount, so it's important to have a skilled motorcycle accident lawyer handle all negotiations on your behalf. These lawyers will always have your best interests at heart and are driven by the desire to advocate for your rights and seek a fair settlement. They will ensure that your injuries, financial losses, and future needs after the motorcycle accident are properly considered in the negotiation process.

    File a Lawsuit

    In some cases, settlement negotiations may not yield the desired results. That's especially true if the other party refuses to cooperate, disputes liability, or just wants to lowball you. If that happens, your lawyer will be prepared to file a lawsuit and represent your interests in court in front of a judge or jury.

    Damages a Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Can Help You Recover

    The exact damages you may be able to recover will depend on how your accident occurred and the injuries you or a loved one sustained. 

    First, per Florida law, you'll need to file a claim with your own insurance provider, even if you were not at fault for the accident. The insurance company will compensate you for medical expenses (related to your injuries), property damage, and lost wages (if you couldn't work due to the injuries you sustained).

    However, if your claim exceeds what the insurance company covers, you may be able to file a lawsuit against the other party. Here, you may seek compensation for the following:

    • Physical and emotional pain and suffering caused by the motorcycle accident and your injuries. 
    • Mental anguish, emotional distress, or loss of enjoyment of life.
    • Permanent disfigurement or disability, such as scarring, amputations, loss of bodily functions, or any other long-term impairments.
    • Loss of consortium in cases where your injuries have negatively affected your relationship with your spouse or family members. 

    Keep in mind that these damages are not set in stone, even if your accident or injuries are similar to someone else's. Many different factors will influence the compensation you may be entitled to, and that's why it's always advisable to have your case evaluated by someone familiar with motorcycle accident laws in this state.

    Qualities of a Good Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

    You now know what a motorcycle accident attorney does and how they may be able to help. But how do you choose the right one for you or your loved one? Let's go over some quick tips

    The right motorcycle accident lawyer for you should have access to powerful legal resources to effectively handle your case with all its complexities. This includes having competent support staff, connections to expert witnesses to provide their testimonies, access to accident reconstruction specialists to provide a third-person account of the accident, and the financial capability to cover the costs of the investigation. Such an attorney can build a strong case on your behalf, which in return increases your chances of winning. 

    Speaking of winning, look for a lawyer with a proven track record of achieving favorable results in motorcycle accident cases. Their success rate in securing fair compensation for their clients will give you an idea of what to expect when you let them handle your claim.

    Reading reviews and testimonials from previous clients will reveal key things you need to know about the lawyer's reputation. A good lawyer will have mostly positive reviews that highlight their professionalism, communication skills, dedication, and effectiveness in handling these cases. 

    While the ultimate goal is to settle the case out of court through negotiations, some cases may require going to court to obtain the compensation you deserve. Therefore, you need a lawyer with the experience and confidence to litigate motorcycle accident cases in and out of court.

    Lastly, since each motorcycle accident case is unique, a good lawyer understands the importance of tailoring their approach to your specific circumstances. Do they seem to understand your needs and concerns? Can they relate to your pain? Are they paying attention to your case as they should? Those are just some of the questions you should ask yourself.
