Compensation Available With a Successful Claim

Ultimately, your goal in a personal injury lawsuit is to obtain compensation for your accident-related losses. In many cases, these losses will primarily involve medical bills. You are entitled to seek compensation not only for your past medical expenses but your future losses as well. Other types of compensation available to you could include:

Diminished future earning capacity
Lost wages
Pain and suffering
Motorcycle repair costs
Disability

Always Seek Medical Attention After a Motorcycle Accident

After a motorcycle accident, your priority should always be to seek medical treatment. If you delay medical treatment, it could be more difficult for your motorcycle accident attorney to establish that you are entitled to compensation. Medical records are one of the most valuable pieces of evidence in an injury case, and a report from a doctor is very powerful in court.

Although alternative treatments like chiropractic care may be effective, it is not seen in court as notable as a trip to the emergency room or physical therapy. We always recommend to go to the doctor first and follow their recommendation. Therefore, we can get you compensation to cover everything needed for your recovery.

Steps To Take After a Motorcycle Accident

Document The Incident

Always notify law enforcement. If there is an injury, law enforcement must be contacted immediately. This can also be valuable to your claim as the police report often includes helpful diagrams and contact information for witnesses.

You should also contact your insurance company after a motorcycle crash. In most cases, this is mandatory. The failure to do so could limit your recovery should you file a claim with your own policy.

Documenting the scene of the crash is also vital. If possible, taking photos of the damage to both vehicles and identifying witnesses can help our motorcycle accident lawyers win your case.

How a Newport News Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Can Help

In order to get you compensation, we need to prove the offending driver caused the accident by acting negligently. To do this, we first need to conduct an investigation of the incident. Our team will collect police and witness reports and review your medical records if you received treatment.

Once we gather all the necessary evidence, our accident lawyers will build a rock solid case for your claim. Our attorneys have the experience and legal knowledge to construct a claim that clearly shows how the defendant’s negligent behavior caused you physical and/or emotional harm.

The defendant’s insurance company will likely try to lowball you by offering a settlement that does not cover all the expenses you may encounter. Our lawyers know the value of your claim and will negotiate a higher settlement or take the defendant to court.

Though the majority of injury claims are settled out of court, but our team is fully prepared to fight a legal battle for you if an appropriate settlement isn’t offered. Our motorcycle accident lawyers have served the Newport News area for years, and will bring a wealth of experience to your court case.

Paul M

I should have posted this a while ago, but Rutter-Mills represented me after a drunk driver plowed into my motorcycle head-on. Which was even worse since I was on it at the time. At first, the insurance company on the vehicle was willing to pay the full liability amount, which meant we'd be unable to sue for more. But the team at Rutter-Mills, lawyers, paralegals, and investigators all kept pushing and realized that a legality detail meant the driver's father's insurance was responsible.
I got medically separated from the Navy due to my injuries, which still persist and hinder me to this day. But thanks to the way everyone at Rutter Mills treated me and worked to get me compensation that set me up for life. They're the first lawyers I refer people to if they've been injured and they're first lawyers I'll go to of anything ever happens to me or my family.

When I think of Rutter Mills I think of Ms.Kamilah White and Mr.Boran. Thank you both. Awesome job. You guys made it look easy. If there was 10 Stars, you would have 10 in my book.

Quinton B.

I highly recommend this law firm. They treated not only me, but my husband like family. Heather Bell was very helpful and nice. Eric Porcaro is a great attorney. Together they were wonderful, professional, and caring people. They worked very hard for our case.

Sarice G.

Mr. Young and Ms. Kathy Saunders went above and beyond for me. The day I walked into Mr. Young's office I thought there was no hope for my case and I would never be made whole. I can say two and a half weeks ago my case was settled above and beyond my expectations. After 4 long years I have finally been made whole. Thank you Mr. Young and Ms Kathy. You saved my life.
