Unique Aspects of Frisco Motorcycle Accident Claims

Overcoming Prejudice Against Motorcyclists

The claims process tends to be a little different between car accident cases and motorcycle accident cases in Frisco because the insurance companies know that there is a built-in bias against motorcyclists. Typically, the insurance adjusters will not value those claims as highly as they would value the case of someone who suffered the same injuries in a car wreck. Now, those prejudices can be overcome, but they must be addressed proactively to get full value for the claim. One of the best ways to deal with this kind of prejudice is to demonstrate everything the motorcyclist has done to promote safety for themselves and others while on the road. This means emphasizing the safety training they have had, the use of protective clothing, the upkeep of the bike, and anything else that shows this person has a history of training and service, like military or law enforcement service. It is often critical to develop this kind of evidence early to be able to tell a jury that, while their prejudice may be understandable, in this case, it does not hold true. If legal counsel can show that, claimants may be able to get better results.
