Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accident law is a specialized field of law that requires the experience and expertise.
Brown & Szaller has the highest AV rating and handles high figure motorcycle cases. Brown & Szaller has written you the following letter and promised you several things:
Dear Injured Motorcycle Driver or Passenger:
- You have the legal and God given right to ride a motorcycle on public roads that you helped pay for!
- All drivers must respect that legal right and pay up when they violate the safety "rules of the road."
- If a driver violates a safety rule by an improper turn, improper turn, improper lookout, inattention, drunk driving driving while texting, etc., then the driver must pay your damages from their negligence.
- Never feel guilty about getting on your motorcycle and presenting damages when someone violates the rules of the road and needlessly injures you!
We promise that:
- Your motorcycle accident claim will be handled aggressively from start to finish!
- You will owe us no money or no fee, unless we win.
- We have a free initial consultation and will travel to your home or hospital day, evenings, or weekends.
- We will pursue all the damages you are entitled to due to your motorcycle accident.
Motorcycle accidents are usually devastating to the victim and their families. In Ohio, you are entitled to separate sums for all these damages:
- Property damage and car rental
- Medical expenses and economic loss, including work loss and future income loss.
- PAIN—the actual physical discomfort.
- SUFFERING is psychological; it is viewed as a mental or emotional state brought on by the plaintiff’s injury, i.e. “nervousness, grief, anxiety, worry, shock, humiliation, and indignity . . .” Fantozzi, 64 Ohio St.3d at 616.
- BASIC LOSSES are the inability to perform the usual activities of life, i.e., walking, climbing stairs, feeding one’s self, and driving a motorcycle . . . Fantozzi, 64 Ohio St.3d at 614.
- PLEASURABLE LOSSES are the inability to engage in activities that once provided pleasure in one’s life prior to the injury, i.e., hobbies, recreational activities and sports. . . Fantozzi, 64 Ohio St.3d at 614. Fantozzi v. Sandusky Cement, 64 Ohio St.3d 601 (1992)
Insurance companies may hold your hand and tell you what you want to hear, but they won't deliver on their promise. Insurance companies want to save the company money by not paying you the money you truly deserve. You will never know the value of your case unless you retain experience aggressive attorneys who will push the insurance envelope and get you the help and compensation you truly deserve. You owe it to yourself and your family not to boat upstream without a paddle. Would you treat your broken leg or go to the doctor? Retain Brown & Szaller.
The lawyers at Brown & Szaller will meet with you for a free initial consultation. Even if you are unsure whether you have a claim for compensation we will discuss the facts of the case and your options and together determine the viability of your case with no up-front charge.
