Common Misconceptions about Motorcycle Accident Claims

1. In all cases, you can settle your case without hiring personal injury attorney.
It's very important that you-as an accident victim-understand your rights. It’s important to seek help from an attorney before moving forward with your legal situation.

2. All personal injury attorneys require a down payment to recognize your personal injury claim.
Most law firms-like the law firm of Timothy G. Anderson-offer potential clients a free initial consultation or case evaluation. Our law firm also accept accident cases on a contingency fee basis meaning they only get paid out of the money they recover for their clients.

3. If you are partially at fault for causing the accident, you are not entitled to any money.
 That is often not the case. Even if you are partially at fault for an accident, you can still be entitled to settle lawsuits and collect money.

4. You will definitely have to go to court to get the monies you and your lawyer believe your case is worth.
Many injury cases can be settled before a case goes to court. It isn’t uncommon for insurance companies to start making offers for an injury claim once they realize a person and his or her lawyer are willing to take the situation to court.

5. Once your personal injury lawsuit or claim is settled, you may receive more money in the future if your injuries require additional medical assistance.
This is not true. Usually once your claim is settled, it’s settled for good.
