Most motorcycle accident claims are settled through negotiations and don’t ever go to trial. However, this doesn’t mean they are simple cases. In fact, motorcycle accident cases are often complicated. That’s why you need an experienced accident lawyer to help you navigate the many details involved in a claim.
The responsible party in a motorcycle case may not always be obvious. Accidents are often caused by other drivers, but liability in motorcycle accident claims can extend to motorcycle product manufacturers, public road maintenance agencies, and other parties. In certain situations, multiple parties may share liability, depending on the circumstances. In such cases, our attorneys will include all potentially liable parties as defendants, as they may possess insurance and assets that can contribute to a settlement.
If you have lost a family member due to the negligence of a driver, our empathetic motorcycle accident lawyers can guide you through the process of potentially pursuing a wrongful death lawsuit.

How Much Is My Motorcycle Accident Claim Worth?
The value of your motorcycle accident claim hinges on factors like the extent of your injuries and other case-specific elements. Awards for motorcycle accident claims can range from thousands to millions of dollars. Your motorcycle accident attorney can assess your case to estimate its potential worth.
What Are the Costs of Hiring Motorcycle Accident Lawyers?
At Caldwell Wenzel & Asthana, our motorcycle accident lawyers operate on a contingency fee basis. This means that we receive payment only if we succeed in winning your case. Our standard attorney fee is deducted from your settlement or award when we achieve a successful outcome.
How Long Does the Motorcycle Accident Claims Process Take?
The timeline for your insurance claim or lawsuit can vary based on factors like the accident’s complexity and the severity of your injuries. Generally, insurance settlements may take a few weeks to a few months. If the case proceeds to trial, it can extend to a year or longer.
Is It Better to Settle or Go to Trial in a Motorcycle Accident Case?
The decision between settling and going to trial depends on the unique circumstances of each case. A reasonable settlement offer from insurance companies can provide guaranteed compensation. Trials, on the other hand, may yield larger awards but come at the cost of time and stress.
