New Britain Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

First, we would need to discuss the details of each motorcycle accident. For instance, was another driver involved in your crash? He or she may be responsible for your property damage and personal injuries.

According to Connecticut law, if another driver’s negligence caused the accident, you may seek compensation. So if the other party was speeding, texting, or driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, you have the potential for a strong legal case.

The purpose of filing a lawsuit is to determine who is at fault. Your injury attorney will let you know what you need to prove your claim. If you win, the court will award damages to you to cover your losses.

In some cases, mechanical failures contribute to motorcycle accidents. For example, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) revealed that faulty tires, brakes, and steering systems cause thousands of accidents per year.

Who is liable for mechanical failure motorcycle accidents? Usually, the fault lies with the company that made the vehicle or the defective part. As with an at-fault driver, you can pursue damages in this case. You have the right to demand compensation to cover medical bills, repair costs, and pain and suffering.

The details of every accident are different. You’ll need to talk to one of our lawyers experienced in Connecticut law to find out for sure if you have a personal injury case. For fast, free information, call 888-WIN-FAST.

Economic damages comprise monetary losses that resulted from the accident. To illustrate, let’s say a man who gets hurt in a car accident and spends a week in the hospital. During his treatment and recovery, he missed work. Also, his prized motorcycle was ruined in the crash.

His motorcycle accident was the fault of a driver who ran a red light. That driver is ordered by the court to pay for his medical bills, lost wages, and property damage.

By contrast, non-economic damages include the pain and suffering that may go along with an accident. Examples are mental distress, loss of life’s enjoyment, or permanent loss of function. Thus, in our anecdote, the injured man receives extra money because of his emotional anguish due to the crash.

It’s the job of a court or jury to decide how much you should receive in non-economic damages. Of course, insurance companies have limited resources available for reimbursing claims. Since trials cost a substantial amount of money, the company may offer you a settlement before or during a court case.

Unfortunately, most people don’t always make good decisions when it comes to whether to settle a case. The average person simply doesn’t have enough facts to make an informed choice.

One law publication explains: “Limited information about settlement patterns may contribute to poor decisions about whether to accept settlement offers…Studies consistently show a high incidence of erroneous decisions by plaintiffs and defendants with respect to settlement decisions.”

Why take the chance of missing out on a higher offer or accepting a settlement that is too low? Making a hasty decision without proper advice could be a big mistake.

What to do if an auto insurance company rejects you

A common reason for rejection is missing or erroneous information. To release funds, insurance companies need specific documentation for your case files.

According to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), “Incorrect or incomplete information will only cause a delay in processing your claim.” Eventually, your claim may be rejected due to what insurers call “failure to cooperate.”

What to do if a health insurance company rejects you

Like motor vehicle insurers, health insurance brokers need extensive details. If you file a claim yourself, you may be missing hospital records or details about your treatment, medical condition, or prognosis.

For both denied auto or health insurance claims, you have the opportunity to file an appeal for a limited period. In the same consumer alert, NAIC encourages accident victims to act quickly since your policy likely requires you to make an appeal notification within a short time.

Our experienced accident attorneys can investigate the reason behind your rejection. You may need to apply to the State of Connecticut Insurance Department for a review if you disagree with your health insurer’s decision. Our law firm can guide you so you can make a fast appeal.

Requesting medical records and reviewing police reports can be a daunting task if you are unfamiliar with the processes. And communicating with insurance adjusters can seem like a fruitless task if you don’t fully understand your policy’s fine print.

Our team of CT law professionals can do the legwork for you with faster results. Then, you can be confident that you are building a strong appeal.
