You need an experienced Houston motorcycle accident lawyer to handle your claim.
Motorcyclists face many dangers on the streets and freeways of Houston. Some of these dangers can result in catastrophic injury, or perhaps even death. There are many irresponsible drivers in the area that do not respect the right-of-way of motorcyclists. Often, this can result in accidents caused by negligent drivers. If you or your loved one have been involved in a motorcycle accident, and you were found not to be at-fault, you need aggressive legal representation to manage what comes next. Everett Day is an experienced Houston motorcycle accident lawyer you can trust to navigate the complexities of your motorcycle accident claim.
Motorcycle accident claims are hard to win. Do not fight alone.
Motorcycle accident claims are notoriously hard to win. Motorcyclists have a stereotype that insurance companies will take advantage of to exploit to delay, deny, and reduce settlements that motorcycle accident victims may be legally entitled to receive. You cannot afford to face unscrupulous and aggressive insurance companies on your own. Hiring Everett Day as your motorcycle accident attorney will not only give you a fighting chance against these insurance companies—it will give you an advantage.
If you have been involved in a motorcycle accident, you are not alone. Over 5,000 motorcyclists are victims of these types of accidents each year in Texas, often caused by inattentive and selfish drivers. In fact, motorcyclists are usually not to blame for car-motorcycle accidents, despite the prevailing unfair stereotype. Even though motorcycles can be difficult to see, it still does not excuse the driver of the car, van, or truck for being inattentive and not paying attention to their surroundings.
What will Everett Day, a Houston motorcycle accident attorney, do for you?
As an experienced motorcycle accident lawyer, Everett Day and his team will cover all aspects of your claim, including:
- Gathering evidence to prove your claim against the at-fault driver
- Seeking any witnesses to the accident, including those that are not mention in a police report
- Procuring information from responding law enforcement agencies, whether it is a municipal, county, or state agency.
- Speaking with your attending physicians and healthcare provider to get all the medical information necessary to further prove your case
- Working with insurance companies to procure a fair settlement
- Pursuing litigation in the event that insurance companies do not want to be fair and agree on a settlement that is fair for the physical and financial damages you and your family may have suffered as a result of the motorcycle accident.
What can you be expected to receive compensation for?
All accidents have certain common elements, but every accident and every claim is ultimately unique. While Everett Day & Associates will work hard on your behalf and aggressively represent your interests every step of the way, we cannot guarantee a specific dollar amount as to what you can expect from a settlement.
Nevertheless, we can inform you that you may receive compensation for the following as a result of your motorcycle accident claim:
- Hospital and medical expenses
- Pain and suffering
- Lost wages and income
- Funeral costs for your loved one that passed away as a result of the accident
Certain factors will affect how much you receive as part of your settlement. Causes of the accident, injury severity, and whatever short- or long-term consequences your injuries from the motorcycle accident will result in are just some of the factors that will determine your compensation amount.
Moreover, Texas is a comparative negligence state. Comparative negligence is a legal principle used by Texas courts to determine blame and award damages based upon how much the injured party—you—contributed to the accident. If, for example, a court determines that you are 25% responsible for the accident, then you will receive court-awarded compensation that is 25% less than what it would have been if you were found to be faultless in the accident.
Comparative negligence is also something that insurance companies will try to take advantage of. Many times, insurance companies will try to claim that you are at least 50% of the cause of the accident, thus putting your chances for a fair settlement in an extremely precarious position.
