Frequently Asked Questions

Remain calm and check yourself and any passengers for injuries. Call 911 to speak with a dispatcher. They will notify the police and other first responders. If you or your passengers have been injured, seek immediate medical treatment. Record or request any details about the accident you can obtain, including photos, license plate numbers, insurance details, witness contact information, available video surveillance, and police reports.

Donโ€™t speak without thinking first. Do not admit fault, even if you were the cause of the accident. Do not post on social media or discuss your claim with anyone aside from your attorney or doctor. Finally, do not provide comments to media that may show up at the scene.

Remember that you are not obligated to speak with an insurance adjuster. Simply let them know that you have spoken with a lawyer and your attorney will be in contact. The insurance adjuster often tries to elicit a response indicating you are not injured. Remember, the adjuster works for the insurance agency and will do anything to reduce the compensation you may receive. They do not have your best interests at heart. Avoid providing recorded statements and signing any paperwork until you consult a reputable bike accident attorney.

A Winston-Salem motorcycle accident attorney will work to get you the maximum compensation possible for your case. Settling with the insurance company on your own can leave a startling amount of money on the table. Your motorcycle accident lawyer will fight for a fair settlement for property damage, medical expenses, loss of wages, and any long-term medical care you may require due to the accident.

You pay nothing unless we win your case. Our attorneys only receive payment if you receive a verdict or settlement for your case. Hiring our Winston-Salem motorcycle accident attorneys costs you nothing out-of-pocket. Contact us today for a free, no-obligation consultation.

North Carolina is among a few states in the U.S. with a contributory negligence law, which does not obligate insurance companies to pay for your injuries even if you are as little as 1% at fault. If you were injured in a motorcycle accident through no fault of your own, you must prove the other driverโ€™s negligence to receive any compensation. The help of an experienced Winston-Salem motorcycle accident lawyer is crucial in protecting your rights and ensuring that you receive the compensation and justice you deserve.

Know Your Rights as a Motorcycle Accident Victim

As a motorcycle accident victim in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, you have several rights that are protected under state law, including:

  • Right to Compensation: If you were injured due to someone else's negligence or fault, you can seek compensation for your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related damages.
  • Right to Legal Representation: You can hire a lawyer to represent your interests in negotiating with insurance companies or pursuing a lawsuit if necessary.
  • Right to File a Claim: North Carolina operates under a "fault" system for car accidents, which includes motorcycle accidents. You can file a claim with the at-fault driverโ€™s insurance company or pursue a lawsuit against the responsible party.
  • Right to Fair Treatment: You have the right to be treated fairly by insurance companies and other parties involved in the claims process. This includes not being pressured into accepting a settlement that is not adequate to cover your damages.
  • Right to Medical Treatment: You can receive the necessary medical treatment for your injuries. Remember that it's important to follow medical advice and keep records of all medical treatment related to the accident.
  • Right to Information: You have the right to access information related to your case, including police reports, medical records, and insurance policies.
  • Right to Privacy: Your medical records and personal information should be handled confidentially and only disclosed as necessary for your case.
  • Right to Timely Resolution: While every case is different, you have the right to expect a timely resolution of your claim or case within a reasonable timeframe.

Motorcycle Accident Statistics

Many types of injuries can result from a motorcycle accident, ranging from traumatic brain injuries to amputation. Not having the steel frame of a car protecting a rider can leave them vulnerable to increased injuries in a bike crash. Burns, broken bones, spinal cord injuries, and even death are also common in these types of accidents.

Often, severe injuries from a motorcycle crash could leave the cyclist temporarily or permanently disabled, changing their life in an instant. In that case, a motorcycle accident attorney is vital in securing the compensation they need now and in the long term. Insurance companies may rush you into accepting a settlement that will fall short of covering medical expenses, lost wages, and more in the future. At Daggett Shuler, we will not let that happen to you.

The North Carolina Department of Transportation Motorcyclists' Handbook is an excellent resource for being safer on the road.

Interstate 40

Studies from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have found that Interstate 40 is one of the deadliest highways in the country. It is no surprise that it is also one of the most dangerous highways in the Winston-Salem area for car, truck, and motorcycle accidents.

Outstanding

My experience with Daggett Shuler was amazing. James Cohn was the attorney I worked with for my workersโ€™ compensation claim. He is an awesome attorney. I was injured while on the job performing my duties with a local company, and the next Monday was fired because they did not want to pay my medical bills. After going to Daggett Shuler they looked after me throughout the process. The Daggett Shuler team was outstanding in their professionalism and empathy.
