Request help finding a motorcycle accident lawyer
Use the form below to tell TVBikerdad.com a little about your situation. Providing this information does not create an attorney-client relationship and does not mean a lawyer has agreed to represent you. We will use the details to review your request and determine whether we can help point you toward an attorney or legal resource.
What to do after a motorcycle crash
- Get medical care first. Call 911 for an emergency. Get evaluated even if you think your injuries are minor; some symptoms appear later.
- Report and document the crash. Follow local reporting requirements. If it is safe, keep photos, witness names, the other driver’s information, the police report number, and records of expenses.
- Be careful with insurance statements. You can provide basic facts required by your policy, but consider speaking with an attorney before giving a recorded statement to another party’s insurer or accepting a settlement.
- Keep records. Save medical bills, repair estimates, receipts, missed-work information, and messages from insurers.
- Act promptly. Legal deadlines vary by state and by claim. Do not assume you have plenty of time; ask a lawyer about the deadlines that apply to your situation.
How to find the right motorcycle accident lawyer
Look for motorcycle-crash experience
Ask how often the attorney handles motorcycle injury cases—not just general car wrecks. Motorcycle cases can involve distinct issues such as visibility, lane position, road hazards, helmet evidence, and unfair assumptions about riders.
Choose a lawyer licensed where the crash happened
Personal-injury rules and filing deadlines differ by state. Confirm that the lawyer is licensed in the state where the case will be handled, and check their standing with that state’s official bar association or lawyer directory.
Ask about investigation and resources
Ask who will investigate the crash, obtain available records, speak with witnesses, review vehicle or roadway evidence, and handle communication with insurers. Find out whether the firm has the resources to take the case to court if needed.
Understand fees before signing
Many personal-injury firms work on a contingency-fee basis, meaning the attorney fee is generally a percentage of a recovery. Ask what percentage applies, how case expenses are handled, what happens if there is no recovery, and get the answers in writing before signing an agreement.
Talk to more than one attorney if you can
Use an initial consultation to ask who will handle your case, how you will receive updates, what the attorney sees as the main challenges, and whether the firm has handled cases like yours. Choose someone who explains things clearly and answers your questions.
