After being injured in a motorcycle accident, the first step toward obtaining compensation is by filing a third-party insurance claim against the at-fault party’s auto insurance policy. At first, you may feel confident in handling the insurance claim process yourself. However, you need to be aware that this process can go downhill quickly.

To obtain compensation after a motorcycle accident in Mobile, you may need to go beyond an insurance claim and file a personal injury lawsuit. You may file a lawsuit when you still have hopes of obtaining an acceptable settlement, or after learning an insurance settlement is not possible. Filing a lawsuit gives you and your attorney time to utilize the discovery process, which entitles you to information and documentation from the other party. This can help you gather the evidence you need to prove fault, and more accurately value your claim. This can put pressure on an insurer to settle and possibly give you leverage to negotiate for a greater amount. However, if a settlement is not likely, the discovery process prepares you for trial, where you will seek to prove that the other person’s negligence makes them responsible for your injuries.
We’ve successfully represented clients who have suffered many types of injuries, and we’ll do our best to pursue maximum compensation for your losses. We will deliver the attention you deserve and take care of all the details of your case so you can focus on recovery.

In Alabama, it is important to be able to show that the other party is entirely responsible for the accident and your injuries, and that your injuries in no way led to the accident. If there is any evidence that your own actions contributed to the crash, then Alabama’s pure contributory negligence law prohibits you from receiving any compensation.
There are numerous state laws that apply to the ownership and operation of motorcycles. One or more of these laws could impact your claim, including when determining who is liable and whether you have the right to compensation.
Some of these potentially relevant motorcycle laws are:
