Compensating Motorcycle Accident Victims
The number of people riding motorcycles in Nebraska has increased in recent years. Whether you like to tour on your BMW, kickback on your Harley, or crouch down on your Sidewinder, you probably love seeing the world from the seat of your cycle. Unfortunately, many car and truck drivers fail to notice bikers on the road. Their negligent oversight can quickly turn your afternoon ride into a tragedy.
If you lost a loved one or have suffered a serious personal injury in a motorcycle accident, you may never go back to the way you were before. The quality of your life going forward can depend greatly on the compensation you are able to recover from the insurance company of the person who caused your injury.
At the law firm of Sibbernsen & Strigenz in Omaha, Nebraska, our lawyers understand how a serious motorcycle accident can affect you financially, medically and emotionally. We will deal with the insurance companies so you can concentrate on your health and getting your life back.
How Do I Get My Bills Paid?
If you are a motorcyclist and were injured by another person's negligence, you have the right to file a claim against their insurance company for damages such as medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. However, it takes time to make a recovery through our court system.
If your insurance coverage includes medical payments, it should cover medical bills up to a certain level. Other options include health coverage through work and Medicaid. If you have no medical insurance, some providers will be willing to treat you in exchange for placing a lien on your lawsuit recovery.
If the accident has affected your ability to earn a living or will result in ongoing medical bills, our lawyers will use health care and financial planners to estimate how much money you will need to pay future expenses.
Contingency Fee Representation
Our lawyers handle all personal injury claims on a contingency fee basis. This means that you pay no attorney fees unless we help you make a recovery. If our lawyers handle your personal injury case for you, we will handle your motorcycle property damage claim free of charge.
