What Family Members Can Do After A Fatal Motorcycle Accident
Motorcycle accidents can be devastating and while riders and their families understand the risks nothing can prepare family members for the tragedy of a fatal accident.
The investigation that takes place after any accidents that involve serious injury or death is what determines both the value and the legitimacy of a claim.
Most importantly it is key to never sign a settlement agreement immediately after an accident as insurance companies may try to rush victims to settle quickly for less than their case is worth, and once you sign on the dotted line or deposit that check, the claim is finished.
This tactic is just one way insurance companies take advantage of accident victims and their grieving families.
Finally, family members of fatal accident victims can request information like police reports and even local news reports if the accident made the news as all of this information will help build your potential wrongful death claim.
