Pusch & Nguyen: Your Trusted Motorcycle Accident Legal Partners

We understand that being involved in a motorcycle accident can be a confusing and stressful time. Our experienced legal team is here to help you navigate the legal process and recover the compensation you deserve.

Am I Eligible for Compensation?

Whether you are eligible for compensation depends on the specific circumstances of your accident. However, in general, you may be eligible for compensation if you were injured due to the negligence of another driver. This includes both physical and emotional injuries, as well as property damage.

Steps to Protect Your Rights After a Motorcycle Accident

• Seek Medical Attention Immediately: Even if you don’t feel hurt, seeing a doctor immediately will document your injuries and create a record for your claim.
• Gather Evidence: This includes photographs, witness statements, and police reports.
• Do Not Speak to the Other Driver’s Insurance Company: Anything you say can be used against you later. Consult with an attorney first.
• Contact Pusch & Nguyen: We will review your case and advise you on the best course of action.

Deadlines for Filing a Claim

The deadlines for filing a motorcycle accident claim vary by state. Consult with an attorney as soon as possible to ensure you meet all deadlines.

Should I Contact the Other Driver’s Insurance Company?

We strongly advise against this. Insurance companies are trained to minimize payouts, and anything you say can be used against you later.

What if the Other Driver is Uninsured?

You may still be able to recover compensation through your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. We can help you determine if you have UM/UIM coverage and guide you through the claims process.

Seeing a Doctor After a Motorcycle Accident

Always see a doctor, even if you feel fine. Some injuries, like whiplash, may not be immediately apparent. Seeing a doctor ensures your injuries are documented and you receive proper treatment.

What to Say to Police and Insurance Investigators

Only provide basic facts about the accident. Don’t admit fault or discuss your injuries in detail. Refer them to your attorney for further information.

Can I Get My Motorcycle Repaired or Replaced?

This depends on your insurance coverage and the extent of the damage. We can help you review your policy and determine your options.

Types of Compensation You May Be Entitled to

• Medical Expenses
• Lost Wages
• Pain and Suffering
• Emotional Distress
• Property Damage

How Long Will This Process Take?

The time it takes to resolve your claim varies depending on the case’s complexity. We will work diligently to resolve your claim as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Should We Go to Trial?

The decision of whether or not to go to trial is a complex one that should be made after careful consideration of all the factors involved. There are both risks and rewards associated with going to trial, and it is important to weigh them carefully before making a decision.

Factors to Consider

• The strength of your case: If you have a strong case, with good evidence and credible witnesses, you may be more likely to win at trial.
• The amount of damages you are seeking: If you are seeking a large amount of damages, you may be more likely to go to trial, as the potential reward will be greater.
• The willingness of the insurance company to settle: If the insurance company is unwilling to offer a fair settlement, you may have no choice but to go to trial.
• Your personal preferences: Some people are more comfortable with the idea of going to trial than others. You should consider your own feelings and comfort level when making this decision.

It is important to discuss all of these factors with your attorney before making a decision about whether or not to go to trial. Your attorney can help you weigh the risks and rewards and make the best decision for your case.

Additional Factors to Consider

• The time it will take to go to trial
• The cost of going to trial
• The emotional stress of going to trial

Preparation for Trial

If you decide to go to trial, your attorney will help you prepare for every step of the process. This will include gathering evidence, deposing witnesses, filing motions, selecting a jury, presenting your case, cross-examining witnesses, and delivering closing arguments.

On the Day of Trial

On the day of trial, you can expect to arrive at the courthouse early, meet with your attorney, be called to testify, listen to other witnesses, hear closing arguments, and wait for the jury’s verdict.

Outcomes of the Trial

If you win the case, you will be awarded damages by the jury. If you lose the case, you will not be awarded any damages and will be responsible for paying the other side’s attorney’s fees and court costs.

No matter what the outcome of the trial, it is important to remember that you are not alone. Your attorney will be there to support you throughout the process.
