Legal Question in Personal Injury in Maryland
Motorcycle Accident Injury Liability
My boyfriend was hit by an SUV a few weeks ago while on his motorcycle and stopped at a red light. The SUV cut across a marked lane diveder area and hit the motorcycle at an angle. The motorcycle was thrust forward out of control, stalled out, and landed about 15 feet into the intersecting road on its right side. My boyfriend was thrown over the top of the motorcycle and landed 20 feet into the intersecting road on his left side. The motorcycle has about $4000 worth of damages. My boyfriend has severe pain from the injuries. He has been restricted at his job and can't get OT now. We have had to delay personal plans for this summer because of the pain, inconvenience, and stress. The other driver admits to hitting the motorcyle, however, she is saying that he voluntarily threw the motorcycle down. Her insurance company is not accepting liablity. My boyfriend has riden motorcycles on the road for 30 years with no accidents. His motorcycle went down because he was hit by a 6000 pound SUV that wasn't looking. He has given statements to his insurance company and her's. There's a witness and pics of the mark the bike made and the intersection. Does he need to get his own lawyer? What else should he be doing at this point?

Re: Motorcycle Accident Injury Liability
It appears that your claim is valid. Since the SUV driver's insurance company is balking you should consider acquiring legal service. Speak to an attorney and consider signing a contingency contract for legal services. My rate is the best. Contact me. (410) 750-2567

He should seek legal advice or represenation particularly since the insurance carrier is denying liabilty and it appears that he has a good claim against the other driver

You should find a lawyer because an investigation will need to be undertaken to determine whether your boyfriend may be entitled to receive compensation, including:
Compensatory damages
Lost Wages
Future Earnings for loss of Earning Capacity; and
Pain and Suffering.
Your boyfriend should contact an attorney immediately.

Motorcycle Accident Injury Liability
Whenever the other insurance company denies liability you need to contact an expierenced attorney, like myself. But you have 3 years to sue. You should get the proper medical attention. Your own insurance company wil pay a minimum of 2500.00 of medical benifits, and a portion of lost wages, without raising your premiums. Again, a lawyer, like myself, can assist you in getting these payments. The most important thing, based on what you have written, is to give no more statements until you have spoken with a lawyer. He can guide you in what to do next.
