What To Know Immediately After the Accident
After the accident, you should first understand that insurance companies are looking out for their best interest. They are profit-driven entities that try to minimize any compensatory damages they should pay.
An insurance adjuster can investigate the accident to find evidence that proves that you were partially or entirely at fault. Negotiating with insurance adjusters without legal representation could severely affect your claim. The insurance adjuster can try to use everything you did after the accident to reduce the compensatory damages you should receive.
The steps injured parties take after an accident makes or breaks their personal injury claims. To improve your chances of receiving full compensatory damages, you should:
- Get in touch with the police and report the accident
- Call paramedics to the scene of the accident
- Stay at the scene of the accident
- If the other parties are responsive, get their insurance information
- Report the accident to the insurance company covering you
There is a limited time window to file a claim against the liable party. The statute of limitations varies from state to state, but in Greenwood, Indiana, you have two years to seek compensatory damages.

How a Personal Injury Lawyer Can Ensure You Get Compensated
The main task of a motorcycle accident lawyer is to prove that the other party was negligent. This validates your claim and makes it easy for their insurer to pay you compensation.
The first thing a personal injury lawyer can do is review the police reports of the accident. The lawyer can ensure that the report of the police matches your account of the accident. If there is a discrepancy between the police report and your understanding of the accident, the lawyer can collect more evidence.
For instance, a lawyer has networks that can give them access to video surveillance of the accident. A lawyer is better positioned to obtain traffic footage of the accident. A motorcycle accident lawyer can also visit the scene of the accident. If the scene is not yet contaminated, the lawyer can collect evidence and make notes.
The information the lawyer gathers from the accident scene is helpful to reconstruction specialists. These experts can help show how the accident occurred and which party is liable. If you file a formal personal injury lawsuit against the responsible party, a lawyer can bring in such experts.

Cost of Damages in a Motorcycle Accident
The cost of damages in a motorcycle accident determines the number of compensatory damages you can claim. The total amount of damages you can claim depends on:
- Current and future costs of treatment
- Pain and suffering
- Costs of mobility aids and additional equipment
- Wages you have lost during the recovery process
- Projections of the loss in future earnings
- Severe disfigurement
The cost of damages varies with the severity of injuries. You can recover damages if you have lost a family member, spouse, or child in a motorcycle accident.
A wrongful death attorney can help you understand the factors that can determine how much compensation you can receive. Determining the cost of a motorcycle accident is one of the benefits that a Greenwood motorcycle accident lawyer brings to the table.
A lawyer can keep important records and work with financial experts to determine the cost of damages. This can help you negotiate for a better settlement that can help restore you to the financial position you were in before the accident.
The cost of damages and settlement offer can be lower if you are partly at fault. A lawyer can use the evidence they have gathered to protect you in your case.
Negotiating With the Insurance Company
You may have to negotiate with the liable party’s insurer to get damages. Insurance companies have a lot of experience getting injured parties to accept low offers that do not factor in future expenses resulting from the accident.
The insurance company can often make a quick offer if they are sure their client is liable. Do not accept an offer without first determining the actual value of the costs of damages. Talk to a Greenwood motorcycle accident lawyer before negotiating with insurance companies.
If the liable party is not insured, you can get compensated by your insurance provider. A lawyer can advise you on what to say during the negotiation process. The lawyer may also handle the negotiation process themselves. This can help you receive a fair settlement that considers the total value of the damages suffered.
