There’s nothing that compares to riding on a motorcycle. Unfortunately, motorcycles offer little protection from other drivers. They don’t have seat belts or shoulder harnesses and the rider is vulnerable to a direct hit on the legs and hips or being thrown off the bike itself. Motorcycle accidents can result in wrongful death or serious injuries such as catastrophic burns, broken bones, amputation, traumatic brain injury, neck, back, and spinal cord injuries.
Experienced motorcycle accident attorneys Jim Schwebel and Paul Godlewski are avid fans of motorcycles, but they realize how serious motorcycle accidents can be.

Do not accept any claim before you speak with an attorney. Many large insurance companies have adopted settlement policies that encourage their adjusters to offer quick payments to persons involved in an accident.

The goal of such contact is to settle the case on terms as favorable as possible for the insurance company.
