    Putting Together A Successful Case

    A successful case involves evidence-gathering, ensuring compliance with legal requirements, and keeping track of related expenses. But success also depends on meeting deadlines, which in the case of personal injury means a two-year statute of limitations. This law gives an injured biker two years from the date of discovering their injuries to pursue a claim before they are barred for time.

    Because there is so much to do in investigating and assembling a case, two years is a relatively short amount of time. However, with a trusted South Windsor motorcycle accident attorney on their side, an injured person should find it much easier to get their claim submitted before the deadline has passed.

    Other Ways Our Team Could Help

    We’re not TV lawyers. We’re conveniently located and have been working for our neighbors, giving personal service, clear answers, and timely results for more than 30 years.

    In addition to representing your motorcycle accident claim, we can:

    • Suggest medical specialists to assist with your care
    • Provide practical solutions to your motorcycle repair and transportation problems
    • Review your insurance policy to uncover additional benefits
    • Explain how Connecticut laws affect your case and medical bill payments

    Our South Windsor motorcycle accident attorneys know exactly how to handle cases like yours.

    Injured bikers who attempt to go it alone without legal representation are vulnerable to lowball settlement offers by insurance adjusters trying to reduce their company’s overall liability. Another insurer tactic is trapping claimants into making statements against their own interest, which the insurer can use down the road to reduce what they are required to pay. A qualified South Windsor motorcycle injury attorney will have dealt with these issues before and know what to do to combat them.

    Your riding experience and skills may have helped reduce the severity of your accident, but most likely, there was nothing you could do to avoid it. And you didn’t cause it.

    The damages to your bike may be undervalued by adjusters. We can help you get an accurate damage assessment to cover the details often overlooked by people who don’t know what they’re looking at – or how much it will cost to fix. Call Berman & Russo South Windsor motorcycle accident lawyers or contact us online. We can guide you through the claim process and make it easy.

    WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
    quotes

    Jon Berman helped me and my company through the worst crisis I can think of. Not only did he give us stellar advice to save our reputation, but he and his team also worked our case thoroughly, gave us steps to take to prove our side of the matter, and helped get the matter resolved. I knew he was invested in helping us. Having him in our corner definitely was a reassuring experience. He was patient with me and my anxieties, helped keep me sane and prevent me from spiraling, and kept a cool head when I was finding it difficult to do so. He saved me from an ulcer and a nervous breakdown, on top of the legal matters he helped my company fully resolve. Thank you, Jon and co! Without you, things would have gone so differently!

    Common Types Of Injuries Resulting From Motorcycle Accidents

    Getting into an accident on a motorcycle can lead to very serious and even catastrophic injuries. Some of the most common include:

    • Burns
    • Road rash
    • Broken bones
    • Limb amputations
    • Spinal cord injuries
    • Traumatic brain injuries
    • Facial fracture/disfigurement

    These types of injuries can lead to temporary or permanent disability, thousands of dollars in medical bills and lost wages, and tremendous pain and suffering. Having a South Windsor motorcycle accident attorney review injuries to determine the extent of damages is wise, considering the stakes. Our team could help an injured biker ensure any negotiations or settlement packages adequately cover all past, present, and future effects of their injuries.

    Some Relevant Connecticut Laws Concerning Motorcycles

    Most people are familiar with the basic rules of the road, but there are plenty of laws pertaining to motorcycles that are often overlooked, such as Connecticut General Statutes § 14-289b, which prohibits lane splitting. Knowledge of the finer points of the law can be useful when attempting to increase the value of a claim to get a higher payout, or getting a settlement or award in general.

    Connecticut does not have a blanket motorcycle helmet mandate except for those under 18. However, it does require $20,000 of bodily injury coverage per person and $10,000 of property damage insurance per person. As far as liability coverage is concerned, the state requires at least 25/50/10 coverage. When a defendant has not met their insurance requirements under the law, an attorney can advise on how to proceed.
