WHAT YOU CAN’T CONTROL IN A MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT ... And What You CAN!

At Sevenish Law Firm, we understand how panic-inducing it is to get into a motorcycle accident. It’s the last thing we want to happen to us or a loved one. That’s why it’s important to remember what you can and cannot control before you ever get into an accident, and stop tragedy from destroying your life physically and financially. Motorcyclists — and motor vehicle drivers in general — cannot control who injures them in a crash.

Also, you cannot control whether a driver or vehicle is insured, and, if so, how much coverage they have. And although some private individuals have larger insurance coverages, most at-fault drivers are either uninsured (no insurance at all) or underinsured (not enough insurance coverage to properly compensate you).

So, when and if this happens, you’ll be very glad you did or very sad if you did not.

Coverage issues can be complicated, of course. Don’t hesitate to call us with any questions or guidance; it could save your life in more ways than one.
