We're Prepared for the Tactics used by Insurance Companies
Many motorcycle crashes result in serious brain or spinal cord injury, amputation, or neck injury. Often, injured cyclists face months of physical therapy, multiple surgeries, and a painful recovery. While most insurance companies acknowledge some costs associated with recovery, many underestimate the total cost. Committed to profits and loss reduction, insurers use a software program called "Colossus" that can calculate claims payments according to data that is entered in it.
As a result, non-economic factors like pain and suffering, diminished quality of life, or medical complications that arise are not usually taken into account by Colossus. Additionally, there is no guarantee that the values entered into the Colossus program actually reflect the true costs of an injury, as former insurance industry insiders have noted. In fact, insurance companies seem to think most injury victims are unwilling to go to court and are more likely to settle a claim quickly if encouraged to do so.
Facing Future Medical Costs and Lost Wages after a Motorcycle Accident
Insurance companies are in business to make money - often at the expense of injured people who need adequate compensation for their injuries. Our lawyers are prepared for the kinds of tactics claims adjusters use to mislead, intimidate, and confuse injury victims into settling a claim as soon as possible. Our attorneys will protect your rights and interests, demanding nothing less than compensation proportional to your past and future medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
