After a crash, your first and only priority should be obtaining the best medical care possible. Only once you have been examined, diagnosed, and treated, should you consider what comes next: the insurance claim.

You should notify the at-fault driver’s insurance of your claim right away, but do not accept a settlement without talking with an experienced motorcycle accident attorney. You need someone who can take a close look at your case and calculate the value of the true harm done.

Your injuries are not as simple as a diagnosis and treatment plan. It is not as simple as a broken leg that needs months to heal and regain its strength and range of movement. A broken leg is also time off work, lost opportunities, physical pain, emotional distress and discomfort, and so much more. If you are athletic, a broken leg could mean the end of your favorite hobby.

Fatal Motorcycle Accidents

There is almost nothing more difficult in life than dealing with the sudden loss of someone you care about. This grief is even more difficult to deal with when you are left with questions about who was at fault. If a loved one has passed away after a motorcycle accident and you have questions, call the Kemmy Law Firm. We can help you find answers, identify those responsible and guide you through this difficult period.

The law gives you the right to seek wrongful death damages when another person was responsible for your loved one’s death. Your family may be entitled to recover compensation for the loss of your loved one’s income, their care, support, companionship, and love, as well as your mental and emotional anguish.

Our Lawyers Will Identify Who’s Responsible

There are several critical steps in the motorcycle accident claim process, including investigating, calculating damages, and identifying the liable party. A motorcycle accident lawyer at Kemmy Law Firm will uncover who is at fault and who is liable for compensating you for your injuries. This may or may not be the same person or business.

In some circumstances, identifying the responsible party is simple. For example, if a vehicle ran a red light and collided with a motorcyclist who had a green light, it is clear the motorist is at fault. However, not all collisions are as clear. When accidents happen at uncontrolled intersections or on busy highways, it can be challenging to determine who was careless or violated the law.

It is possible that the party directly at fault for the collision is not the party responsible for compensating you. The most common example involves an on-duty employee causing a crash. If you were injured because a person who was working at the time rear-ended you, ran a red light, or drove drunk, then you may demand compensation from that person’s employer.

Our team at Kemmy Law Firm also is prepared to deal with the responsible party denying liability. It happens all too often, especially when a motorcyclist is the victim. When the other party claims you were partly or fully responsible for the collision, they are triggering New Mexico’s comparative negligence law.
