A motorcycle accident is not the same as a car accident. While many statutes apply equally, the defendants and insurance companies involved are likely to have very different defenses. Of course, this isn't fair, and if you don't respond immediately, it can work against you and your settlement. Contact an Arlington accident lawyer at (972) 599 4100.

MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIESMotorcyclists are in a unique position in various aspects when compared to automotive drivers, and one of the most significant differences in the amount of vulnerability. While Texas law requires all motorcyclists to wear helmets that satisfy safety standards, catastrophic injuries are a reality for many riders in the state.
Without the padding provided by the airbags, seat belts, and automobile chassis to cushion you after a crash, you are more likely to get major injuries that could render you immobile. The following are some of the most common injuries recorded following motorcycle accidents in Arlington:
At best, these are long-term injuries that will make it difficult for you to maintain your career, family, and life as it was. They can be lethal in the worst-case scenario. You are entitled to the compensation and attention you will require to navigate your long path to recovery.
Even if your injuries aren't as severe as the ones listed above, give us a call. If your bills are growing and you are not receiving assistance from your insurance company, you require assistance in regaining control of your life. Our firm can examine your circumstances and choices with you so that you know whether or not your claim is worth fighting for before you start.
Our motorcycle accident lawyers at the Law Office of Doug Goyen understand the challenges that come with a motorcycle accident case, but we're also ready to fight for you when you need it the most.

COMPENSATION AVAILABLE FOR MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT INJURIESA motorcycle accident lawyer in Arlington can assist you in calculating the value of all the damages you've sustained, which extends much beyond the property damage to your motorcycle. A personal injury lawyer in Arlington can be especially helpful in calculating and demonstrating non-monetary damages. While it is easy to count your invoices, estimating your future spending can be more complex.
Your damages do not end until your lawsuit is concluded, and the first settlement offer from the insurance company may just be insufficient. The insurance may try to reimburse you simply for your physical injuries, for example, without taking into account the pain and suffering you've endured.
It is critical to examine any past or future crash-related charges that will cause you problems. Some of them may include the following:

INSURERS TRY TO AVOID COMPENSATION OWEDWhile motorcyclists are required to carry insurance, finding an insurer may be difficult for many riders. Expect opposition from insurance from the time of your Arlington motorcycle accident; insurers will try to offer you less than you deserve or will try to discredit your claim in order to avoid paying what your claim is truly worth.
They often try to discredit you before you even consider going to court. Many insurance companies are well-known for using deceitful methods to avoid paying victims. Expect friendly-sounding calls, but these are attempts to get you to make a mistake and say the incorrect thing so that they can dismiss your claim. Otherwise, they may undercut your settlement offer, providing you less than they owe.
When motorcycle accidents go to trial, the struggle is not over. Insurers will stereotype you in order to try to place the blame on you. Because you ride a motorcycle, you may expect to be labeled as reckless, careless, and dangerous. Many people have a preconceived image of bikers in their heads, which insurers try to exploit.
All of this is intended to undermine your claim and make you cave in to their low offers. They are expecting that you would accept whatever settlement they offer or that they will not have to pay anything at all, but we will not allow them to get away with it. Your compensation is important, and we are prepared to fight for it.
