Newark Motorcycle Insurance Coverage Attorney
One of the most difficult parts of any personal injury claim is dealing with insurance companies. That is especially true after a motorcycle accident. You want to know how much compensation you will be able to receive, but that depends on a number of factors, including your recovery process.
At the law offices of Scura, Mealey, Wigfield & Heyer, LLP, our New Jersey motorcycle accident insurance claim attorneys protect the rights of injured bikers across the state. Representing insured, underinsured and uninsured motorcycle riders, if you have been injured as the result of someone else's negligence, we will make sure you get the fair and full compensation you deserve.
How Is Compensation Determined After Your Motorcycle Accident?
When it comes to compensation, there are a number of things you must consider. Conducting our own investigation into your motorcycle crash, we will help you understand what to expect and make sure we have the evidence we need to assert your rights. Your insurance company should consider the following after your accident:
- Quality of life
- Medical expenses
- Future medical care and potential medical bills
- Lost income
- Permanent physical disability, discomfort, pain or disfigurement
- Emotional damages
- Affect on spouse
- Property damage
Keeping careful track of your lost wages and expenses after your accident is easy. It is much harder to put a value on intangible losses from a motorcycle injury such as pain and suffering and the loss of quality of life. Insurance companies will work to minimize their losses, which means minimizing the cost of your claim. Our attorneys will work hard to make sure you get fair and full compensation.
Percentage of Fault
Another important factor in New Jersey motorcycle accident cases is determining the percentage of fault. If you were partly responsible for your accident, you will not receive full compensation for your losses. Conducting a thorough investigation into your accident, we will help you determine who was at fault and minimize your responsibility as much as possible.
