There are more people on the roads and there are more motorcycle accidents occurring. This increase in accidents means an increase in injuries and fatalities. If you are injured in a motorcycle accident that was caused by the negligent act or behavior of another, you need to speak to F. Anthony Koushan so that he can move forward with your compensation claim.
Motorcycle riders are in a unique position on the road. They enjoy the freedoms that come with their chosen form of transportation, but they are also left exposed to dangers not met by automobile drivers and other motorists. The lack of any substantial protective barriers between a motorcycle and the road, as well as the difficulty that other motorists may have in anticipating and seeing a motorcycle, leave riders prone to serious injury in the event of an accident. Motorcycle riders, therefore, must be aware of their legal rights and remedies if they are involved in a traffic accident. The insurance laws in your state may be very different with respect to motorcycles versus automobiles; consequently, it is very important to consult with an experienced attorney regarding the applicable laws in your state.
If you are in an auto accident caused by reckless or careless behavior of the other driver file a compensation claim as soon as possible. Issues in your potential claim, including compliance with traffic laws, motor vehicle regulations, medical treatment issues, and liability determinations, all require the expertise of an attorney who is experienced in the area of motorcycle accident liability. In light of legal deadlines for filing injury claims, meeting with an attorney to evaluate your case as soon as possible is recommended. Contact the office of F. Anthony Koushan for a consultation today.
