Beckley West Virginia Harley Davidson Accident Lawyer | Beckley WV Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

The beautiful, winding, country roads of West Virginia are a motorcycle rider's paradise. Add in a splash of autumn color and a ride through West Virginia is simply perfect. Many Harley Davidson and other motorcycle clubs plan rides into West Virginia during the fall.

A negligent driver that is not paying attention or simply does not give enough space to a motorcycle can turn a perfect ride into a nightmare. Unfortunately, when a motorcycle accident happens the injuries that occur are much worse than in an ordinary car accident. Traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries and other serious injuries are common in this type of incident.

When motorcycle accidents happen, the lives of the people involved and their families can change drastically. Medical bills begin to pile up; work is missed; simple chores can become all day projects.

Forman & Rist can provide help to victims of motorcycle accidents in West Virginia. Just like in a car wreck case, soon after a motorcycle accident occurs, insurance companies will begin to investigate the case. The phone will ring and an insurance adjuster will ask questions about your accident. At this point it is critical to have the assistance of an experienced attorney because everything that is told to the insurance company is used to evaluate your case.

While the insurance adjuster might sound like a nice enough person, you must keep in mind that this person is attempting to evaluate your case to see how much money the insurance company could have to pay as a result of the automobile accident. Their job is not to pay you as much as possible. To the contrary, the insurance adjuster is trying to evaluate and settle your case as quickly as possible, for as little as possible.

The problem with this type of quick evaluation is that many injuries are unknown until days, weeks and even months after an accident. Forman & Rist carefully review and investigate every single case from the start. Once we are hired, the insurance company will have to talk to us directly, which lets our clients focus on recovering from the motorcycle accident instead of worrying about an insurance adjuster.

The types of compensation that a person can recover as a result of a motorcycle accident includes the following:

+Costs of medical bills, including physical therapy, surgeries and
   other treatment
+Lost wages and income
+The costs of future medical care
+Lost future wages and income
+Emotional damages
+Damages for family members for the loss of companionship
   caused by the accident
+Punitive damages

We accept all motorcycle accident cases on a contingency fee basis, which means that you will not owe us a fee unless we obtain compensation for you. If you have been injured in a motorcycle wreck, call us so that we can discuss your case. We will take the time to sit down and meet with you to discuss your case. Our firm handles cases anywhere in the state of West Virginia. If you cannot come to our offices, we will come to you.
