If you were injured in a motorcycle accident and are interested in pursuing compensation, you need to speak with a motorcycle injury lawyer.

Whatever injuries you or a loved one experienced, do not hesitate to call a lawyer. You may consider working with an insurance company yourself after a motorcycle accident. However, we have seen many individuals underestimate the value of their injury claim or get bullied into accepting the insurance company’s offer because they aren’t familiar with the law.

The physical and psychological toll of your injuries are also relevant to your case and how much compensation you may be owed.
Following a motorcycle accident in which you were injured because of another driver’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation. Our Charlotte motorcycle accident attorneys are here to thoroughly review your injuries and calculate a potential value of your claim. We will take into consideration every aspect of your situation, from your economic losses to the emotional impact of your injuries.

North Carolina follows a very strict rule regarding contributory negligence. Under this law, you cannot recover compensation if you are in any way at fault for the accident and your injuries. If an insurer or judge believes you are even one percent responsible, you will be denied any compensation, unless you can show the other person had the last clear chance to avoid or prevent the collision. Because of this, motorcycle riders are often accused of being negligent during accident claims. The other driver will try to say you did something to partially cause the accident. Our attorneys will vigorously defend you against these claims and fight hard to prove the other driver is entirely at fault.
After suffering injuries or losing a loved one in a motorcycle accident, you have a lot on your plate. We understand you may be dealing with doctors, specialists, sizeable medical bills, and health insurance coverage. If your relative passed away, you are grieving while your family arranges a burial and funeral, deals with medical bills, and begins to handle probate. The last thing you want is to deal with an insurance claim or lawsuit regarding the accident. Let the Charlotte motorcycle accident attorneys at Randall & Stump, Criminal Defense Attorneys handle this for you.
