If you or a loved one has been injured in a Florida motorcycle accident that was caused by a negligent driver, you may be eligible to recover damages. This financial compensation can cover your medical bills, ongoing care or physical therapy, lost wages from missed time at work, and even instances of pain or emotional suffering.
However, winning your personal injury case or earning a lucrative settlement from the insurance companies can be very complicated and difficult. The following are three important mistakes that could hurt your
Florida motorcycle accident injury case.
- Failing to seek medical attention: If you do not go the emergency room after a Florida motorcycle wreck or at least see your doctor, the insurance companies will be able to shed doubt on just how severe your injuries are. It is crucial that you follow all instructions from your doctor to show that you are committed to healing and not just looking for a handout.
- Not documenting the accident: Memories fade and scars heal. It is important that you write down everything you remember about your accident as soon as it happens, to ensure your account of the wreck is on paper and there are no discrepancies in your testimony later. Your lawyer can also help you document the accident with pictures and expert investigation.
- Signing anything from the insurance companies: Insurance adjusters talk a big game, often telling you they are on your side or looking out for your best interest. Do not believe them. As soon as you turn your back, they will lie and cheat to save as much money as possible. Never sign anything from the insurance companies and politely direct all inquiries to your attorney.
The final mistake that could hurt your
Florida motorcycle accident injury case is not hiring a lawyer. A Fort Lauderdale motorcycle accident attorney is invaluable to your case, and it is not advisable to try and handle your own claim.
