What To Do If You Have a Motorcycle Accident in NC

If you were driving a motorcycle in North Carolina and were a part of a traffic accident, it’s essential to know how the law differs for these crashes.

If you are a motorcycle accident victim, you may require a different type of legal assistance. Unlike car accident victims, motorcycle riders cannot get Medical Pay Benefits from their own insurance companies to help pay medical bills after a crash.

This means you’ll need extra financial compensation to help pay for any injuries or repairs to your vehicle.

How Can I Win Financial Assistance From A Motorcycle Accident?

If you were in a motorcycle accident, there are a few places you may be able to receive monetary compensation to help cover your medical bills, any lost wages, or motorcycle damage.

A strong legal team will help you try and recover damages from either the other driver’s insurance company or additional settlement funds from your own uninsured/underinsured motorist policy.

What About North Carolina’s No-Fault Rule?

It’s important to know that North Carolina enforces accident laws that if the injured person’s actions helped cause the accident, they are not entitled to any financial reimbursement. This is called “no-fault” or “contributory negligence laws.”

This means even if the accident is considered 1 percent your fault, you wouldn’t be entitled to anything in court. This is why enlisting qualified legal help will increase your chances of a settlement.

If one driver is considered entirely at fault, they must pay for the wronged parties’ damages.

Exceptional Legal Representation & True Professional, Genuine Individual

I first met Allen after he was recommended to me by a friend, and I couldn't be happier with the service that he provided. He demonstrated a unique attention to detail in my case, as well as expressed a genuine interest in me as a person. Through a great deal of hard work, Allen was able to appeal my case and get all of my charges dismissed. I couldn't be more grateful for him and his assistant, Sherry, for their legal and personal support during such a difficult time. Hiring Allen was the greatest decision I've ever made, and I would recommend Allen to anyone seeking exceptional legal representation.
