Answers to FAQs from a Motorcycle Accident Attorney

Over our many years of handling motorcycle accident cases, we have received a lot of questions from injured riders. Here are answers to some of the most common concerns.

Who can be held liable in a motorcycle accident?

It depends upon the circumstances. A negligent driver may be liable. A pedestrian who jaywalked in front of a motorcycle and caused a crash could be at fault. Motorcycle parts manufacturers may be held responsible if a defective part contributed to the accident.  Government agencies can be named in claims if poorly maintained roads cause the crash. In some cases, more than one party can be held liable.

What is the deadline in Kansas for filing motorcycle accident lawsuits?

There is a two-year statute of limitations from the date of the accident, or the date you discovered your injuries, for filing a lawsuit. There are exceptions to this deadline in certain instances. We can explain to you the filing deadlines for your case.

How long do motorcycle accident claims take?

There is no one answer to this question. If we can settle your case with the insurance company outside of court, it will resolve faster—possibly in just a few months. If we have to go to trial, it could take a year or longer. We work hard to establish strong evidence of liability in cases we take on, which very often serves to persuade insurers to settle.

What happens if the insurance company does not offer a fair settlement?

If the insurer won’t make a fair settlement offer, we will advise you about the possibility of taking your case to trial. Sometimes when insurers realize we are serious about going all the way to trial, they will come back with a better offer in order to save themselves time, and a potentially larger payout by a jury.  If going to trial is an approach you wish to take, we will fight hard for your interests throughout the proceedings.

Is it more financially advantageous to settle or go to trial?

When you agree to a settlement, you know you are going to receive compensation. If your case goes to trial, you could potentially be awarded a significantly larger amount of money through a jury verdict than you would get in an insurance settlement. But with that being said, there is no guarantee the jury will find in your favor, and you could end up with nothing. Once we know the specifics of your injuries and accident, we can advise you about what might be most beneficial for your situation.

A motorcycle accident attorney from our firm can provide tailored guidance for your specific situation.
