FAQs
Will bias against riders hurt my case?
-
Insurers sometimes assume rider fault. We counter with hard evidence—scene analysis, visibility, and driver behavior—to keep the focus on facts.
What if I wasn’t wearing certain gear?
-
Every case turns on its facts. Insurers may argue it affected injuries; we address those arguments with medical documentation and law. Ask us about your situation.
Do I have a case if a road hazard caused my crash?
-
Potentially. Liability can involve a driver who created the hazard or, in some instances, a party responsible for the roadway. These cases are fact-specific—contact us quickly.
What do you charge?
-
Contingency fee—no fee unless we recover. We explain percentages and case costs up front.
