When to Hire an Attorney Following a Motorcycle Accident

If you've been involved in a motorcycle accident in East Tennessee, you're likely in pain and feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, and confused. Knowing how to handle things after a motorcycle crash can be especially confusing and frustrating, but it doesn't have to be. Here is an overview of how to manage the aftermath of an automotive accident that occurred while you were riding on a motorcycle.


When to Hire a Motorcycle Lawyer?

You should hire a motorcycle attorney as soon as possible following the accident. You can call from the hospital, if necessary, and attorneys like Fox & Farmer Attorneys of Law will even come to you if your injuries prevent you from leaving the hospital right away. The sooner you contact a motorcycle attorney, the better the chances will be that you will receive maximum compensation if the driver who hit you is found to be at fault. It's always better for an attorney to visit the scene of the accident immediately following the accident when evidence may still be fresh. Also, if there were any witnesses present during the collision, it's best for the attorney to interview them sooner rather than later, while any helpful information is fresh in their minds.


How Can a Motorcycle Attorney Help?

By contacting an attorney who specializes in accident and injury cases, the attorney can help you in many ways. First of all, the attorney can provide you with professional legal advice and explain what your rights are as a victim of a motorcycle accident, whether you were at fault or not. The attorney can also represent you in court if you decide to bring a lawsuit against the driver who hit your motorcycle. Victims who are represented by attorneys typically receive larger settlements than those who represent themselves.

It is important to contact a motorcycle attorney as soon as possible after the accident. Of course, immediately following the accident, you need to ensure that you seek the medical treatment that you need and contact your insurance company. However, your next call should be to a motorcycle attorney. Fox and Farmer Attorneys of Law have been providing legal counsel for accident victims just like yourself since the mid-80s.
