Our Birmingham Motorcycle Accident Lawyers are Experienced, Caring, And Aggressive

Serving the Best Interests of Motorcycle Crash Victims in Birmingham

As a motorcycle rider, you’re more at risk of severe or even fatal injuries in a traffic crash than those in cars and trucks. The reason is simple—you’ve minimal protection and no cushioning to help you withstand impact upon collision. This vulnerability manifests in severe injuries as well as extensive property damage, mental distress, and overwhelming financial losses.

Automobile drivers are the biggest threats to motorcyclists on the road. Many motorcycle accidents happen because a car driver fails to yield the right of way, is distracted, or drives too fast. In some cases, the motorist was unaware of the motorcycle beside them.

The good news, however, is that you don’t always have to bear the consequences of the accident alone. You can receive maximum compensation for your injuries if someone else’s negligence is responsible for them. How do you begin this process? By simply seeking the help of an experienced Birmingham personal injury lawyer at Caldwell Wenzel and Asthana Personal Injury Lawyers who focuses specifically on motorcycle accident claims.

Who Can I Hold Liable for my Injuries?

How to Determine Fault in a Birmingham Motorcycle Accident

Common defendants in many motorcycle crash cases include car drivers, auto manufacturers, government officials, and even pedestrians especially in situations where a Birmingham pedestrian accident lawyer might argue the pedestrian’s actions contributed to the incident. However, the specific at-fault party in your case depends on who meets all the requirements of negligence, which are:

Duty of Care

Plaintiffs must establish a duty of care in motorcycle crash cases to hold the defendant accountable for their injuries. In simple language, the at-fault parties must have been legally responsible for your safety on the road. This is what makes the parties mentioned above possible defendants in a motorcycle accident case.

Breach of Duty

Breach of duty means that the defendant’s action violated their duty of care. This can occur in numerous ways, including speeding, driving while intoxicated, running a red light, or violating other rules of the road. Essentially, any action of the other party that falls short of reasonable care is a breach of duty. If you were injured in such an incident on someone else’s property, a Birmingham premises liability accident lawyer can help assess whether a breach of duty contributed to your injuries.

Actual And Proximate Causation

The third element of negligence requires proof that the defendant’s actions or inactions caused your injuries. There are two types of causation—actual and proximate. Actual causation (cause in fact) connotes that you would not have been injured but for the defendant’s direct actions.

In proximate (legal) causation, the at-fault party’s actions were a substantial and foreseeable factor that led to the injuries. Proximate cause is often more complicated than actual causation and depends on the unique circumstances of each case. As such, you’ll need help from our seasoned Birmingham motorcycle accident lawyer to legally analyze and clarify your situation.

Damages

Finally, damages resulting from the at-fault party’s actions or inactions must be proven. This includes physical injuries, medical expenses, pain and suffering, emotional distress, property damage, and other losses.

Note: A motorcycle operator may be at fault for an accident in some cases. In such situations, they will not be allowed to file a claim against the other party regardless of how low their level of fault is.

Establishing the above ingredients of negligence is vital to winning your accident claim. Fortunately, this is one of the areas our attorneys excel at. We’ll work around the clock to ensure that the right parties bear responsibility for your injuries.

How Can my Birmingham Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Help to Build My Case?

Learn What Our Attorneys Can Do for You

Your first steps after a crash should include calling 911, gathering evidence, and exchanging contact information with the other parties involved. After this, ensure that you speak with your Birmingham motorcycle accident lawyer immediately to strengthen your case by:

Conducting Investigations

Establishing liability requires sufficient evidence. That’s why thorough investigations are an essential part of your injury claim process and our motorcycle crash attorneys take them seriously. From police reports to eyewitness statements, surveillance videos and accident scene photos, we’ll uncover ample proof to strengthen your case. This ensures that we discover hidden facts that logically point to the right person as the at-fault party.

Calculating Your Possible Payout

The fact is that no lawyer can predict your compensation amount with 100% certainty. That’s because payouts depend highly on several varying factors. However, what we can do is give you a rough estimate of your claim’s value. This will ensure that you don’t accept a sum that’s grossly below what you deserve. We’ll also ensure that we pursue compensation for all the possible types of economic and non-economic damages obtainable.

Handling Negotiations with Insurers

Since motorcycle accident cases are typically severe, they often deserve large monetary awards as damages. Sadly, this also means that your case is a significant threat to insurance companies and they’ll do everything to fight it.

The good news, though, is that our attorneys are well aware of the tactics they may employ in frustrating your case. Better still, their lawyers are no match for our aggressive and skilled motorcycle accident attorneys. We’ll sit at the negotiation table with an air of confidence, ensuring that you aren’t cajoled into accepting a low-ball offer.

Providing Legal Advice and Guidance

We understand that you aren’t knowledgeable about personal injury law and may find some aspects of your case confusing, so our attorneys are always happy to break down complex concepts to your understanding. We’ll painstakingly walk you through your options and offer you professional advice to help you avoid common mistakes.

Aggressively Litigating a Lawsuit

Not all motorcycle accident cases go to trial, because we’re typically able to get them to reach a reasonable compromise for you. However, in a few cases where the insurance company remains adamant, a lawsuit may become the next best alternative. In such situations, we’re always ready to rise to the occasion. We’ll represent you in court aggressively and convincingly to get you maximum compensation.

Our motorcycle crash attorneys in Birmingham will utilize all their resources to build the strongest case possible given your unique situation. We’ll do everything within our power to maximize the total payout necessary to get you back on your feet.
