How To Prepare For Meeting With A Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

While the beautiful Florida weather makes it easy to own a motorcycle, riders face more dangers than those who operate traditional motor vehicles, especially in a bustling city like Orlando. If you’re an out-of-state biker who was injured while visiting or are a year-round resident who was in a motorcycle accident, the personal injury lawyers at 911 Biker Law have years of experience working specifically with motorcycle riders and understand how to best represent your interests.

Consider What Questions You May Have

A lot of information will be covered during your meeting with a motorcycle accident attorney, and it can seem like a lot to take in. That’s why it’s important to think about the questions you want answered in advance. That way, you can write them down, take notes, and ensure that you leave the meeting feeling confident about all of the information you have. Some common questions to cover include:

• What’s your experience with similar cases?
• What would your strategy be with my case?
• What is your fee structure?
• What are possible outcomes of my case?
• What will be expected of me?
• Is it likely that my case will go to court?

Have Your Own Answers Ready

During the meeting, the motorcycle accident lawyer will want to ask questions of their own. Providing as much factual information as you can is key to the success of your case. Be prepared to answer questions regarding the following.

• What gear you were wearing during the accident.
• The type and condition of the gear.
• How fast you were going before the accident.
• The condition of the road, such as if it was raining or snowing, or if the road had any damage.
• The extent of your injuries and any paperwork from doctor or hospital visits.
• Any insurance coverage for the accident and resulting injuries. 
• Provide copies of any reports or photographs taken of the scene.

Even though the law doesn’t require that you wear full protective gear while riding, this information may come up in your case. Hence, it’s crucial to provide your personal injury lawyer with all of the facts so that they can provide the best service possible to you.

Choosing Between Motorcycle Accident Lawyers

Your meeting with the personal injury attorney is as much about getting input on your case as it is about getting a feel for the law firm and attorneys. Selecting an accident attorney to represent your interests is the most critical aspect of your case, so you should be prepared to look for attributes that you feel work best for you. Don’t hesitate to inquire about their connections with local judges, clerks, and other attorneys, as well as their network of experts. Also, consider their experience and how professionally they present themselves. If English isn’t your first language, can they communicate with you in your native language? It’s also essential to select an attorney who understands and respects your culture. A good attorney will welcome your questions and have answers for each one.
