What’s Included in a Motorcycle Accident Claim?

When you suffer injuries caused by a motorcycle accident caused by someone else, you have the right to compensation from that person’s insurance company. Doing so can help ensure your medical bills get paid. Bodily injury claims are oftentimes the core of the motorcycle accident settlement process. To prove your claim you’ll have to submit your medical bills to the insurance adjuster. Be aware some try to wrestle more information than necessary from you which is why you need an experienced lawyer watching your best interests. 

Another factor within the motorcycle settlement process in California is property damage. This is the cost for replacing or repairing your bikeor any other property or gear damaged during the crash. To prove your property damage claim, you need to submit a repair estimate from a reputable repair shop and prove of the value of any other gear or personal property that is part of the claim.
