Our lawyers realize the severity of the injuries that motorcycle riders – and their families – must cope with after an accident. Gruber Law Offices helps motorcyclists who suffer from:
Head and brain injuries Back and spine injuries Multiple broke bones Loss of limbs Chest and shoulder injuries Eye injuries Burns, including friction burns or “road rash” Scarring and disfigurement.If you wear a helmet, you greatly reduce your risk of a concussion or more serious form of traumatic brain injury. That is why we encourage motorcycle riders to always wear helmets. However, at Gruber Law Offices, we respect motorcyclists’ right to ride without a helmet (unless you are under age 18 or carrying an instructional permit). We will stick up for you and fight an insurance company’s attempt to use your lack of a helmet against you.
If you were recently in a motorcycle accident in Milwaukee or elsewhere in Wisconsin, you should take the following steps:
Get medical attention. A motorcycle accident can cause serious injuries, including brain, internal organ and soft tissue injuries that may not be immediately apparent. You should see a doctor and get checked for injuries as soon as you can.
Order a copy of your crash report. You should be able to get a copy from the law enforcement agency that responded to your motorcycle crash. You can also buy crash reports online at the Wisconsin Department of Transportation website.
Collect and keep everything. You should hold on to copies of all of your medical bills, motorcycle repair bills and receipts from other accident-related expenses. You should also keep copies of letters or e-mails you receive from the insurance companies.
Write down what you recall. When you have the chance, write a summary of your accident. It is important to jot down these details while your memory is still fresh. This summary will help when you have to remember these details later on.
Notify your own insurance company (but don’t sign anything). Report your accident to your own insurance company if your policy requires it. You can simply stick with the facts. However, if the other insurance company calls you, simply refer the insurer to your lawyer. NEVER give a statement or accept an insurance settlement offer before you talk with a lawyer.Wisconsin generally requires you to file a personal injury claim within three years after the date of an accident. If you lose a loved one in a crash, you have three years from the date of death to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Your lawyer will need time to properly prepare a claim for filing. So, do not delay getting help after a motorcycle crash. Connect with Gruber Law Offices today.
No law requires you to hire a lawyer after a motorcycle accident. However, if you do not get legal help, you may miss out on a much better result in your case. In fact, an Insurance Research Council study found that accident victims represented by a lawyer receive insurance payouts that are, on average, 3.5 times higher than the payouts received by those who pursue claims without a lawyer.
At Gruber Law Offices, our lawyers will know how to investigate your motorcycle crash and sort through the details. We will consult with experts in accident reconstruction, life-care planning and other fields in order to determine why your crash happened and how much you deserve in compensation. We will present a solid claim to the insurance company and, if necessary, we’ll fight for you in court. In short, we will make every effort to seek the maximum amount owed to you.
Additionally, Gruber Law Offices can handle your motorcycle property damage claim for free. We know how important it will be for you to get your bike repaired or replaced. We can also assist you in finding medical care if you encounter health insurance problems when you seek treatment.
