Let a Motorcycle Accident Attorney Fight for Your Rights

Due to the lack of protection for cyclists, motorcycle accidents can have a severe, life-altering impact. As a result, many motorcycle accident victims may suffer from catastrophic injuries or fatality, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If you or a loved one were injured in an accident and someone else was at fault, our law firm may help you recover your losses.

Our lawyers want to advocate for victims, and they may take on the at-fault party in or out of the courtroom. If you have questions or want to discuss your case, call (412) 661-1400 for a free case assessment to see how a Duquesne motorcycle accident lawyer may help with your case.

When To File Your Motorcycle Accident Claim

A motorcycle accident can cause property damage, financial stress, physical pain, and emotional trauma immediately after an accident. It can leave you wondering what to do next. It doesn’t take long before your medical bills start piling up, making you feel hopeless.

You also have the right to file a motorcycle accident claim through your attorney. Although there is no timeline on when to file your claim, the sooner you move forward, the easier it may be to prove your case. A Duquesne motorcycle accident lawyer may help you understand your legal options.

Was Your Motorcycle Accident Caused by Negligence?

Like any other personal injury case, you must prove that another party is liable for your injuries to win your case. It doesn’t matter if your crash was an accident. The negligent party should pay for your losses.

We take on motorcycle accident cases involving negligence or reckless, such as:

• Distracted driving
• Reckless driving
• DUI
• Careless pedestrians
• Manufacture defects
• Property owner negligence
• Unsafe road conditions

When a driver, pedestrian, manufacturer, or other party acts carelessly, you should not have to pay for their negligence. The law firm of Berger and Green may help you ease the burden of high medical bills, lost wages, physical and emotional stress, or the loss of a loved one through a claim or lawsuit.

What To Expect from Your Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

If you have never been in a motorcycle accident case, you may have difficulty navigating the legal system on your own. Furthermore, you may not know what your case is worth or how to prove the other party was at fault.

Berger and Green attorneys can walk you through the litigation process and may help you avoid common mistakes that may hurt your case. Our process includes:

Investigating the Accident

We listen to your side of the story and review the facts of the case. Our lawyers investigate the accident, gathering evidence such as medical reports, accident reports, videos/photos, eyewitness accounts, and testimony from experts. We may revisit the scene to look for additional evidence that supports your case.

Managing Your Case

When you hire a lawyer, you should feel confident that they can handle your entire case. We have a full legal team that manages all aspects of your case, including gathering evidence, preparing documents, formulating a legal strategy, and negotiating your settlement.

Fighting for a Fair Settlement

We assess your damages, prove fault and liability, and submit your claim to the insurance company. If the insurer offers you a low settlement or denies your claim, then we explore all legal options. If you decide to file a lawsuit, we can represent you in court.

Providing Legal Consultation

Throughout the entire process, our lawyers are always looking out for your best interests. Feel free to ask questions or express your concerns. We are here to listen and to guide you throughout the duration of your case.

Motorcycle Accident Personal Injury Damages

How much you can collect in a motorcycle accident case depends on several factors. We look at how your accident occurred, who is at fault, and the full extent of your economic and noneconomic losses. Some types of damages sought and awarded in personal injury cases include:

• Medical treatment
• Repairing/replacing your motorcycle
• Lost pay
• Physical suffering
• Emotional trauma
• Wrongful death expenses

In wrongful death cases, we assess your compensation based on a variety of expenses such as:

• Burial and plot
• Funeral costs
• Pre-death medical care
• Pain and suffering of the deceased
• Lost household income
• Lost benefits or retirement

You or your family should not have to suffer due to someone else’s mistake. Let our law firm help you determine the actual value of your case and pursue compensation. To get started with your case, call (412) 661-1400.

How Long Do You Have To Bring a Motorcycle Accident Claim?

According to 42 Pa. Con. Stat. Ann. § 5524, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit against the at-fault party. If you miss the two-year deadline, your window of opportunity may no longer be available.

Therefore, if you believe that you have a case, then consult our law firm without delay. We may help you fill out the paperwork and submit your claim right away. Our law firm may also help you stay on track with all deadlines and ensure that you meet all claim laws and regulations.
