Busting Lawyer Myths & Getting the Right Help.After a motorcycle crash and injuries, you are focused on regaining your health and maybe getting back on the bike. You are not interested in a lawsuit or fighting with insurance companies.However, if your injuries from the motorcycle accident are serious, you\u2019ll face medical expenses that you won\u2019t be able to handle on your own. You shouldn\u2019t bear those costs if another motorist caused your injuries.\u00a0 Insurance companies often try to pin the blame on the motorcyclist to deny your insurance claim. You need the help of an experienced Kentucky Courage\u2122 personal injury lawyer to stand up for you.What Motorcycle Lawyers Do?If our attorney sees a way forward for you, we will investigate the motorcycle accident to gather evidence showing the other party is responsible for your motorcycle accident injuries. Sometimes, this requires accident reconstruction. Simultaneously, we\u2019ll gather medical records as evidence of your injuries and calculate all of your costs for medical bills, lost income, and other expenses.In a demand letter to the insurer, we\u2019ll outline the evidence of fault and explain your injuries and the compensation required to make you whole. We are tough negotiators who can usually get insurers to agree to a fair settlement to avoid litigation. When a lawsuit is necessary, we take solid cases to court and seek to persuade juries to do what\u2019s right.Why You Might Need a Lawyer? The MythsMyth 1: \u201cLawyers are too expensive.\u201dAt Morgan, Collins, Yeast & Salyer, our lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. We don\u2019t charge legal fees to handle a personal injury case unless we recover money for you. If we don\u2019t win, there\u2019s no charge. We offer a free case evaluation.A lawyer offers you a better chance of obtaining maximum compensation from the insurance company representing the at-fault driver. Insurers are more likely to make a full offer if they are facing a personal injury lawyer who will go to court if necessary. Our personal injury attorneys work on a contingency basis. You only pay a legal fee if you receive compensation.Myth 2: \u201cI\u2019ll be in court forever.\u201dMost motorcycle accident cases are settled without going to court. Insurance companies often use delay tactics to try to wear down injured people who are experiencing financial stress.When our Kentucky Courage\u2122 attorneys contact insurers, they realize they\u2019re not just dealing with an injured motorcyclist. A lawsuit increases the insurance company’s potential costs. Our attorneys are successful in settling most car accident cases and motorcycle accident cases without going to court.Myth 3: \u201cIt was partially my fault. I can\u2019t get a settlement.\u201dUnder Kentucky\u2019s rules for awarding compensation in personal injury claims, you may still be eligible for a settlement even if you contributed to the accident. If you are found partially at fault, it reduces the amount of money you may recover from a jury. But Kentucky\u2019s \u201cpure comparative fault\u201d rule says you can still recover some amount of money, even if you are 99% at fault.If we think we can recover enough money to make a claim worthwhile for you, we\u2019ll explain why and how. If not, we\u2019ll say so.We are proud of our record of results. We do not let insurers undervalue claims or unfairly blame riders for motorcycle accidents.Choose the Right Motorcycle Accident Lawyer in KentuckyThe motorcycle accident lawyers at\u00a0Morgan, Collins, Yeast & Salyer\u00a0fight prejudice against motorcyclists and will stand up for your rights.
