Durham Motorcycle Accident Attorneys Who Fight to Get You Compensated

The entire state of North Carolina sees an increased number of motorcycle accidents when the weather turns warm and more riders hit the roads. Since motorcyclists have minimal crash protection, a wreck with another vehicle can result in severe and devastating injuries. Fortunately, hurt riders and passengers can try to hold reckless drivers accountable by seeking maximum compensation for their injuries.

Be careful cruising around Durham – especially from May through October. And if you, or a loved one, have been hurt in a Durham motorcycle accident, protect your rights. To learn about your options and have your case evaluated (no cost or obligation), call us today at 1-866-900-7078.

How Durham Motorcycle Accident Lawyers Build Strong Cases

Our Durham motorcycle accident lawyers know that accidents involving motorcycles are very different than car wrecks, including why they happen. For example, we know that “Looked But Failed to See” (LBFS) is a phrase police often use to describe the car driver in many motorcycle accident reports – many drivers simply don’t see you on your motorcycle. We can investigate the circumstances of your wreck – including hiring reconstruction experts as needed – to see if “LBFS” or something else was behind the other driver’s negligence.

Our Durham motorcycle accident lawyers can also help you by:

• inspecting your bike, clothes, and gear for important evidence
• seeking out and interviewing any witnesses
• guiding you through the legal process
• examining police reports and crash videos
• reviewing medical records
• and more

We Can Determine Who May Be at Fault in Your Motorcycle Accident

As we investigate your accident, we will work hard to try to establish who was responsible for the wreck – as will the at-fault driver’s insurance company. In Durham, personal injury cases follow the doctrine of contributory negligence, which can allow insurance companies to deny you compensation completely if you are even 1% at fault. But we know how to handle the other driver’s insurance company and counter their tactics.

Why Hiring a Lawyer Is Important After Your Motorcycle Accident

While you are dealing with the aftermath of the accident – focusing on your health and family – our attorneys can help you at every step of your case by:

1. Protecting Your Rights: Without legal counsel, it’s easy to fall victim to unfair delay-and-deny tactics some insurers may use, or their lowball offers.
2. Moving Your Case Forward: We can help you navigate your case, including completing complicated paperwork for you accurately and on time.
3. Assessing the Value of Your Case: The true value of your case may involve much more than just reimbursement for bike repairs. We can help you assess and factor in any medical expenses, lost wages, and emotional distress, as well.
4. Negotiating Aggressively: Insurance companies often aim to settle quickly and for as little as possible. Your attorney can negotiate assertively on your behalf, potentially increasing your settlement amount significantly.
5. Preparing for Litigation if needed: Your case is highly unlikely to go to trial, but just the threat of our experienced litigation team can be effective leverage in negotiations with the car driver’s insurance.

At James Scott Farrin, our team will put your needs first every step of the way as described in our firm’s You-First Policy. We will listen carefully to your story and answer your questions as we build your case – so you can focus on healing.
