Not everyone is aware of it, but an insurance company’s first settlement claim is often much lower than they are actually willing to pay. It may seem easier to just take what they offer for your NY motorcycle accident claim, but it can result in less than you need, especially regarding future pain, suffering, and expenses related to the accident.
If you are seriously injured in a motorcycle accident in New York City, Queens, Brooklyn, or the Bronx, having the right legal defense is crucial for getting a settlement amount that is truly fair. Call Proner & Proner in NYC today or contact us online for a free consultation on how much your New York motorcycle accident case is really worth.
Injured Due To A Motorcycle Accident And Have Questions? We Can Help, Tell Us What Happened.
Although you won’t have forever, there is still a reasonable amount of time to file a motorcycle accident injury claim in NY. In New York state, an individual has three years from the accident date to file, which means you don’t have to rush too much when preparing a case and getting legal advice. As long as you hire the right lawyers, such as those at Proner & Proner in NYC, three years should be more than enough time to file.
With the above in mind, you should not feel pressured to accept the first offer you get from the insurance company unless you truly believe it is more than enough and don’t want to go through the added effort. It is important to note, however, that many motorcycle accident victims can get a far greater amount with legal and professional support than they could get on their own… and for obvious reasons. Insurance companies are not your friends. They don’t want to pay you a dime, let alone thousands of dollars to cover your injuries and time out of work after a New York City motorcycle accident. They have very skilled lawyers of their own and will gather opposing evidence and attempt to find any loophole they can to get out of compensating you.
