Mistakes To Avoid After a Motorcycle Accident

Answer:

We talk to a lot of people who have been injured in a motorcycle accident in Kansas, and we see some repeated common mistakes that people make. One is that people don’t go get the treatment that they need. They might see somebody at the emergency room initially, but then they’re concerned about racking up a lot of medical bills, so they don’t go get the treatment that they need and hope things will get better on their own. That can be very detrimental to your case. If you have ongoing problems and symptoms, you need to get to the doctor so that the doctor can treat you for those injuries and you can start to recover, and it will also be helpful to get that treatment documented so the insurance carrier can understand and see evidence of the full extent of your injuries.

Another common mistake that we see people make is they will give a statement to the insurance carrier before they have an attorney. The insurance carrier is interested in gathering evidence that will help them deny and delay your case. Even though it may seem like there’s no harm in talking to the insurance company – you’re just going to tell them the truth – the insurance company is skilled at trying to get information from you that will only help them and be detrimental to you.

Probably the biggest mistake we see people make is that they hire the wrong attorney. You really want to make sure that you have an attorney that is a trial attorney, is prepared to take your case to trial if that is what’s necessary to get you the best recovery, and who can handle your motorcycle injury case for you in the best way possible.
