We handle all communications and negotiations to secure a fair settlement that covers your injuries and losses.
If a fair settlement cannot be reached, we prepare your case for trial and advocate zealously for your interests in court.
First, prioritize your safety and seek medical attention, even if injuries don’t seem severe initially. Then, try to document the accident by taking photos and gathering contact information of witnesses.
It’s important to notify the police so an official report is created. Finally, contact an attorney promptly to discuss your rights and legal options.
In Missouri, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims from motorcycle accidents is typically five years from the date of the accident.
However, it’s best to start the legal process as soon as possible to preserve evidence and strengthen your case.
Missouri follows a comparative fault rule, meaning you can recover damages even if you are partially responsible, as long as you are less than 50% at fault.
Your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and other related losses.
Each case is unique, so it’s important to discuss your specific circumstances with an attorney.
Many motorcycle accident cases settle out of court through negotiations with insurance companies.
If a fair settlement cannot be reached, we are fully prepared to represent you in trial to achieve the best possible outcome.
