Motorcycle Accidents

The personal injury lawyers at Brett & Coats help their motorcycle accident clients receive prompt, fair and just compensation for injuries caused by the negligence of others. We have been helping motorcycle accident victims collect substantial settlements and awards for over 36 years. We understand that as a motorcycle accident victim you may be overwhelmed and suffering from emotional, physical and financial burdens. It may be difficult for you to defend your own rights while going through the stressful recovery process. Brett & Coats strives to return victims of motorcycle accidents to the life they led prior to their injury. While monetary compensation cannot change the past, it can help victims and their families worry less about the economic side of their future.

We practice throughout Washington State and have offices in Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, Spokane, Bellingham. Because of our computer technology, we are paperless and wireless so we can meet with clients anywhere throughout the state.

MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS

Over 80% of all motorcycle accidents result in injury or death. About one-third of multi-vehicle motorcycle crashes are a result of other motorists turning into the path of the motorcycle. Other injuries and fatalities are caused by unsafe or defective equipment, or poorly maintained property or roads. Motorcyclists account for a high percentage of all serious injuries on the road.

WHAT WE CAN DO FOR YOU.

If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident or have lost someone to a cycle-related death, Brett & Coats attorneys can make certain that you receive prompt, fair and just compensation for medical costs, future medical expenses, lost income, future loss of earning capacity, as well as for general damages for pain, suffering, disfigurement and disability. Our attorneys will:

  • Prove any negligence on the part of others involved in the accident. Negligence may include reckless or inattentive drivers or badly maintained property and roads.
  • Establish any liability for defective motorcycle components or design problems and hold the manufacturer accountable for compensation. Examples of manufacturer defects can be found in the numerous motorcycle recalls due to brakes that fail, defective tires, bolts that snap and other production or design flaws.
  • Negotiate a prompt, fair and just settlement.

While insurance is designed to address an accident victim’s economic issues, it is important to remember that insurance companies are in business to maximize their profits. The job of the insurance adjuster is to settle the claim for the lowest possible payment. Insurance companies have a ready team of adjusters, investigators and attorneys whose focus is to minimize the amount of money paid to motorcycle accident victims. Should you choose not to be represented by a qualified attorney, you will face the considerable resources of a powerful insurance company alone. Insurance companies pay almost triple the amount of money in cases where the victim is represented by a lawyer. As you are recuperating from the accident, the person who caused your injury may have already notified his insurance company which is already busy trying to minimize their payout.

At Brett & Coats, our attorneys give proactive attention to the needs of each client. Our firm’s motorcycle accident attorneys have the training and experience to develop the critical evidence necessary to win your motorcycle accident claim. We help the justice system meet its goal of returning personal injury victims to the life they led prior to their injury. With full, maximum monetary compensation, you can meet the challenge of recovery and worry less about financial losses. We help by coordinating medical payments, organizing documentation and supporting each client through the sometimes difficult claims process. Since insurance companies know our firm’s determination to litigate cases when a settlement offer is inadequate, we are usually able to resolve motorcycle accident claims through negotiation.
