Fresno Motorcycle Accidents
More than 500 people’s lives are claimed each year in motorcycle accidents in California. An additional 14,000 motorcyclists are left to suffer through overwhelming pain from injuries. The chance of a motorcyclist suffering serious injuries like broken bones, brain injuries, and spinal cord injuries are drastically increased due to them being basically totally unprotected while traveling. Injuries of this magnitude usually demand expensive and extensive medical treatment. To make matters even worse, injured motorcyclists are often forced out of work for several months or even years as they recover.
If you are involved in a motorcycle accident, you will most likely be approached by insurance companies who appear to be on your side only to try to pursue you to encourage you to accept lowball settlement offers. Accepting an offer from an insurance company may not be in your best interest.
Quite often, insurance companies offer the minimum amount of compensation to accident victims as a way to encourage them to sign over their legal rights. This often prevents victims from getting the compensation they need for medical treatment, lost wages, and various other costs they face from their accidents. Instead, it is crucial to reach out to a motorcycle accident attorney in Fresno as soon as possible. You may have options available to help you move forward after being harmed in an accident.
