What can an experienced injury lawyer do for you?
An experienced motorcycle accident lawyer in Mesa can answer all of your questions. Every state has its own set of laws. Arizona has different laws for motorcycle collisions and different statute of limitations for motorcycle collisions where the adverse party is an individual compared to if the adverse party is working for the government, for instance.
Many motorcycle riders think that if they are not wearing their helmet and are injured, that they cannot be blamed for their injury. This is actually not true. In Arizona, you will not receive a citation if you are not wearing your helmet; however, if you are injured in a motorcycle crash, any injury lawyer will tell you that the party at-fault can use your not wearing a helmet as a defense. What does this mean? We call this the Arizona helmet law lie. That is, the insurance company of the at-fault party can blame you for your injuries if they can prove that had you worn your help, you would not have been injured.
Also typically motorcycle riders who are not represented by experienced attorneys will tell you that insurance companies like to blame the rider for being at fault. Even if the rider is not at fault, the insurance company is known for blaming the motorcycle rider for speeding or not looking when going through an intersection. The truth is that many people do not like motorcycle riders and the insurance company is able to get witnesses many times to say that they did not see the motorcycle rider. Witnesses many times will say that the motorcycle rider came out of no where and that is why the accident happened. An expert in motorcycle law in Mesa, AZ can speak to the witnesses, the insurance company, expert accident reconstructionist and others and explain to the jury or judge why the accident was not the fault of the motorcycle rider. Just because witnesses do not see the rider does not mean that the rider is at fault. Many times the reason witnesses or other drivers do not see the motorcycle rider is because the motorcycle appears to come out of nowhere but it is actually just that witnesses and others are more expectant of other vehicles not motorcycles. There are always witnesses who have an excellent accounting of what they have seen in a crash.
