The Process: Your Guide to Getting your Motorcycle and your Life Back on the Road after an Accident
The information in this Web site will help you to present your claim so that you have a chance at getting a fair settlement for your motor-cycle property damage. I use the word “chance,” because without this information, you don’t have one.
The care and feeding of claims people.
Unlike automobile accident damage cases which are frequently settled quickly, insurance companies can have a difficult time making quick settlements on motorcycle accidents.
Why? Because they don’t understand motorcycles or their value. This can leave you explaining costs to settle your claim. Typically waits of six weeks to three months or even longer are not uncommon.
How to speed up the processing of your motorcycle accident claim
This process can be shortened substantially if the proper damage claim is presented to the insurance company in the proper way. For example, if your bike is totaled your insurance company will rely on a service to determine the value of your bike.
You and your insurance company want your bike out of the shop.
Just be sure you get what your bike is truly worth.
Recently had a motorcycle accident and want to get your bike fixed and out of the shop? Well, your insurance company wants it out of the shop too, but for a different reason.
Be aware that they want to give you as little compensation as possible. Your insurance company will send their adjuster out to see your motorcycle and the damage it has sustained. He’ll say they’ll take care of you, but they’ll NEVER pay you what it’s really worth. Their job is to pay you the least amount possible.
Plus, they may NOT take into account the fact that your bike has custom work, aftermarket parts, or is in excellent condition. They just don’t understand what your bike is worth which can result in you not getting the fair value for your bike!
To get the maximum reimbursement for your bike, you need to convince them of your motorcycle’s true value after an accident. You need a motorcycle accident attorney who knows how to win your case.
