Wilmington Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

If you suffered serious injuries in a motorcycle crash and need help securing the compensation you deserve, consult with a qualified Wilmington motorcycle crash lawyer as soon as possible.

Motorcycle and moped riders often endure devastating injuries in wrecks. Without the protection of thousands of pounds of metal surrounding them, they face a higher risk of injury than someone who is traveling in any other type of motor vehicle. These injuries can often require extensive physical therapy, which will keep you out of work and unable to earn a living for a time.

Fortunately, when you’re ready to hold the at-fault party accountable for their negligent actions, an experienced attorney at Barros, McNamara, Malkiewicz & Taylor can help.

Your Wilmington motorcycle accident lawyer will negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf to ensure you aren’t taken advantage of. We will also investigate the cause of the crash so we can determine who is liable in your case.

‘Reckless Biker’ Stereotypes and the Insurance Company

Insurance companies are known for their desire to reduce the amount they are required to pay to claimants.

Injured motorcyclists are often victims of these unscrupulous tactics. The insurance adjuster may attempt to make use of the stereotype often associated with bikers—that they’re reckless, irresponsible motorists who have no regard for their own safety or the safety of those they share the roads with.

What’s more, modified comparative negligence laws in Delaware state that if you are partially liable for your accident, your compensation will be reduced by the percentage of blame you carry. The insurance company is going to try to capitalize on these laws by making it seem as though you are more to blame than you actually are. Ultimately, that will mean they have to pay you less.

Your motorcycle accident attorney in Wilmington, Delaware, will negotiate with the insurance company and make sure they don’t get away with paying less than you are rightfully owed.

Get the Most out of Your Motorcycle Accident Claim

You probably aren’t aware of just how much your claim is worth, but your attorney will be well-versed in calculating the value of losses related to motorcycle crashes. This knowledge can help us ensure that you obtain full compensation for your damages.

We will consider both economic damages (damages that have had an impact on your finances) and your non-economic damages (which have impacted your lifestyle and mental wellbeing). These losses might include the following:

  • Medical expenses
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Property damage, including damage to your motorcycle
  • Loss of companionship and love
  • Emotional distress
  • Damage to your earning potential
  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of household services
  • The effects of disfigurement

Your Wilmington motorcycle wreck lawyer will work closely with your physician to determine the extent of your injuries so you are taken care of should any future medical procedures or other damages arise after your motorcycle or moped accident claim has been resolved.
