Motorcycle Accident Settlement Offers

Question: Should I accept a settlement from the insurance company for my motorcycle accident?

Answer:

After your motorcycle accident, the insurance company might come in and offer you a check. Why are they doing that? Well, they want to get the case closed. They want you to go away. If you’ve had a motorcycle accident here in Texas and an insurance company comes in and says, “Oh, don’t worry; we’ll pay for those medical bills,” and then they make you sign for it. When you have more medical bills in the future they say, “Sorry, we’ve already closed your claim. You already signed and accepted.” Insurance companies, when they come in and make first offers, are looking out for their bottom line. They’re not looking out for you. If you’ve been involved in a motorcycle accident and you’ve got medical bills piling up, instead of taking that first offer and perhaps finishing off any claims that you might have, go get yourself an experienced motorcycle accident lawyer, one who can tell you what you deserve.
