What Is the Value of My Motorcycle Accident Claim?
Motorcycle accident cases don't have a predetermined value. It all boils down to the specifics of your case.
The question of whether you sought medical attention will come to play. That's because in Florida, you have 14 days to seek medical attention after a motorcycle accident. If you fail to do so, insurance companies may deny your claim compensation through your Personal Injury Protection insurance.
As you would expect, the severity and long-term consequences of your injuries will heavily influence the value of your claim. In most cases, serious injuries that result in permanent disabilities, extensive medical treatments, or prolonged rehabilitation are generally associated with higher compensation amounts. The insurance provider will also look at factors such as the need for ongoing care, loss of earning capacity, and the impact on your quality of life.
That said, since Florida uses the modified comparative negligence law, the damages you may be entitled to will be reduced by your percentage of fault. However, you won't recover any damages if you are found to be more than 50% at fault for the accident.
The limits of your insurance coverage will also affect the potential value of your claim. If you have sufficient coverage, you may be able to recover compensation up to the policy limits.
In addition, if the accident was caused by the negligence or wrongdoing of another party, you may seek compensation beyond what your insurance coverage provides.
Finally, statistics have consistently shown that hiring a skilled motorcycle accident attorney can significantly impact the value of your claim. That's because insurance companies will likely take your claim more seriously when you have an attorney than when you represent yourself.
What Is the Deadline for Filing a Motorcycle Accident Claim In Stuart, FL?
Again, the exact deadline for filing a motorcycle accident claim will depend on the specifics of your case.
Generally, you have four years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit to seek compensation for bodily injuries and property damage. Missing this deadline could result in the court refusing to hear your case.
If you lost a loved one in the crash, you have up to two years from the date of the accident to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Similarly, if the accident occurred due to a defective motorcycle part, such as tires or brakes, you have up to four years to file a product liability lawsuit. However, if the defect leads to a wrongful death, the time limit drops back to two years.
In cases where the accident occurred due to negligence of a government agency, such as a poorly maintained road, you must file a lawsuit against the relevant government agency within three years from the date of the crash.
When Should I Contact a Motorcycle Accident Lawyer?
If you find yourself receiving lowball offers from the insurance company after filing a claim, this could be the first sign that you need legal representation. These offers are often far below what you deserve and you need an attorney to ensure you get what you're entitled to.
Also, if the insurance company claims that your injuries are not serious and you know they are because you are the victim, you should hire a lawyer. Insurance carriers use this tactic to downplay the severity of your condition and ultimately reduce the compensation you may be entitled to.
Some insurance providers may argue that you had an underlying condition prior to the accident and that the crash did not cause your injuries. A skilled lawyer can counter these claims by presenting facts that establish a clear link between the accident and your injuries.
The same applies if you're being blamed for the crash or if the insurance company refuses to cooperate or even respond to your attempts to settle the claim. Hiring a motorcycle accident lawyer becomes essential in such a case.
Because each case is different, you're better off consulting a motorcycle accident lawyer just as long as you suffered serious injuries.
Let a Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Fight for You
You'd think that filing an insurance claim in a no-fault state like Florida makes the claims process easy. That's not always the case. Even your own insurance company might walk away in your darkest hour. When that happens, you need someone to hold them — and possibly other parties — accountable.
At Morgan and Morgan, we have been fighting for the rights of the injured since 1988 and have the results to show. With over $25 billion already secured for more than 700,000 clients for various cases, no motorcycle accident case is too complex for our army of attorneys.
