Steps to take after a motorcycle crash in North Las Vegas, NV
It is important to take the appropriate steps after a motorcycle accident if you wish to pursue a personal injury claim. Those who opt to handle their claims by themselves may experience a series of setbacks if they are not well-versed in the law. By working with a lawyer, you can prevent any serious or potentially catastrophic mistakes from occurring.
Below are some of the most important steps you should take:
Filing within the statute of limitations period
The State of Nevada allows a specific timeframe to file a personal injury and/or wrongful death claim. This timeframe is commonly referred to as the statute of limitations NRS 11.190(4)(e). This timeframe provides plaintiffs two years from the date of accident or injury to file a personal injury lawsuit–although in certain situations, exceptions may apply.
Although some cases may take years to settle, it is important to note that this is only the timeframe or filing a lawsuit. The time it takes to settle a case is independent of this rule.
Once the two-year timeframe runs out, if you have not filed a lawsuit, the insurance company is no longer obligated to compensate you for your losses. That is why having an experienced personal injury lawyer on you side is critical for your financial recovery.
Attend all doctors appointments
One of the biggest factors in every personal injury claim is damages. Typical damages include lost wages, pain and suffering, and medical bills. The medical bills tend to hold significant weight in terms of valuing a claim as they document the extent of your injuries.
Claims adjusters often review medical records in depth to determine the extent of your injuries. Therefore, it is important that you attend each and every doctors appointment as prescribed by medical professionals. Even a few weeks of gap in treatment can result in diminished value of your motorcycle accident claim.
By working with a lawyer, they will be able to demand all damages pertaining to your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering in an attempt to achieve fair compensation for your injuries.
Avoid settling your claim early
Insurance companies may offer an initial settlement offer for your personal injury claim as a means of expediting the claims process. Many times, this settlement offer is much less than what you are actually entitled to as the full extent of your damages have not been valued yet. Therefore, settling early can be detrimental to achieving a full financial recovery.
Let’s say, for example, you were recently hit by a car. A week later, the insurance company offers you a $15,000 settlement offer with the provision that you must drop your personal injury claim. You accept the offer and weeks later your injuries progress and result in an emergency surgery.
In that scenario, you and your medical insurance (if you have it) are liable for the cost of the surgery. You can no longer demand that the other drivers insurance company pays for your damages as you’ve released them from liability by accepting their settlement offer.
