Frequently Asked Questions

Page Contents show

If I have motorcycle insurance, do I need a motorcycle accident attorney?

Insurance companies lose money whenever they pay out a claim. Many insurance companies will deny claims or significantly delay payment even if the accident was not your fault. When dealing with them on your own, you may not be able to negotiate a fair settlement. You might also feel forced to work within their timeline rather than your own. Cohen & Cohen offers a free no-obligation consultation. This is an opportunity to discuss your case and decide if it’s your best option to hire an experienced motorcycle accident lawyer Arlington VA values.

Am I required to have motorcycle insurance?

In most states, motorcycle insurance is required. Liability insurance coverage may include compensation for injuries and property damages caused by the accident. Depending on your policy, liability insurance may also cover your legal fees.

What if I’m issued a speeding ticket as a result of my motorcycle accident? Can I still file an injury claim?

An experienced motorcycle accident lawyer Arlington VA riders rely on will likely understand that, despite the speeding ticket, you may be eligible to collect damages for your personal injury. It may be advantageous to discuss the details of your case with an experienced motorcycle accident lawyer Arlington VA believes in.

Do I have to notify the police about my motorcycle accident?

In most scenarios, you are required to notify the police if the accident involves a fatality, personal injury, or property damage beyond a certain dollar amount. Typically, the police officer on scene will investigate the accident and file a report with his or her findings. It can be very helpful to your case to get a copy of that accident report. Almost any motorcycle accident lawyer Arlington VA accident victims contact will want to read that report while proceeding with your case.

Do I have to appear in court?

Many motorcycle accident cases, even those involving personal injuries, can be settled out of court. Our attorneys at Cohen & Cohen try to settle out of court whenever possible. This helps our clients avoid lengthy, expensive trials. However, if your Arlington VA motorcycle accident lawyer cannot negotiate a settlement, your case may proceed to a trial. In that scenario, you may have to appear in court.

Who do I call for legal help if I’m injured in a motorcycle accident?

Cohen & Cohen attorneys can be reached in emergencies 24/7, evenings and weekends. We offer a free no-obligation consultation. If you are hospitalized and unable to come to our offices, call us to arrange an in-hospital meeting.

Do I really need a motorcycle accident attorney if my injuries are minor?

Almost any motorcycle accident lawyer in Arlington VA can tell you of clients who at first appeared uninjured or only had minor injuries. Later, these same clients discovered their injuries were far more serious. Adrenaline and shock can hide or disguise symptoms and pain. After you receive medical attention, a Cohen & Cohen attorney can discuss your case with you and develop an appropriate strategy to recover your costs.

What kind of compensation can I expect to get for my injuries as a result of a motorcycle accident?

This often varies on a case by case basis, so it is best to discuss your situation with a motorcycle accident lawyer Arlington VA residents go to for answers. Generally speaking, you may qualify for compensation for the following:

Medical expenses
Recovery of income or lost wages
Property damage
Pain and suffering
Punitive damages

Who was at fault if a car turned left in front of me while I was riding my motorcycle and I hit them?

In most cases, the at-fault driver in that scenario is the one making the left turn. As the driver going straight, you should have had the right-of-way unless:

You went through a red light and they had a green arrow for turning
You were excessively speeding

Does every state require motorcyclists to wear a helmet?

Almost every state requires riders to wear a helmet, but the law can vary according to the age of the rider and other factors. If not wearing a helmet is relevant to your personal injury case, your attorney may be able to offer specific information on your situation based on state and local legislation.

I wasn’t wearing a helmet when I was injured in a motorcycle accident. Can I recover damages from the other driver?

In most instances, even if it’s illegal to not wear a helmet, that shouldn’t prevent you from recovering damages. If the other driver was at fault, very likely you can seek damages from them. If not wearing your helmet contributed to your injury, in some cases that can affect the amount of damages you can collect.

If I have health insurance or paid sick leave from work, will I get a smaller settlement amount?

If your health insurance company pays out any of your costs related to the accident, you may be required to reimburse them for those amounts after you receive a settlement. A motorcycle accident lawyer Arlington VA motorists turn to may be able to review the details of your case and advise you on what costs you may need to repay your insurance company.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ms. Skibicki handled my uninsured motorist claim exceptionally well. She understood the importance of balancing justice and compensation from those involved in the dispute. She fought for a fair settlement and genuinely listened to my concerns and complaints about the process, showing empathy throughout.

She thoughtfully explained the pros and cons of pursuing further litigation if I was not satisfied with the offer, and she gave me ample time to make a decision that felt right for my situation. I never felt pressured to accept an offer that didn’t meet my needs. If I need legal assistance again, I would choose Cohen and Cohen and specifically request Ms. Skibicki as my attorney.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I retained Cohen & Cohen after I was struck by a car and fractured my spine. Adam was kind, knowledgeable and truly an advocate throughout the entire settlement process. He was incredibly responsive to my calls, emails and texts, and always took the time to explain how parts of the admittedly complex process worked with insurance, etc. Adam was able to secure a settlement of the offender's maximum policy limit, and the process was completed within a year. 10/10 recommend!

Cohen & Cohen exceeded my expectations throughout my case. Nicole Skibicki, Esq. was an outstanding attorney who demonstrated professionalism, compassion, and genuine care from start to finish. She took the time to listen whenever I needed to vent about my situation, and her empathy made a difficult process much more manageable.

Nicole was a strong advocate on my behalf and worked diligently to ensure that I received a fair settlement from the insurance company. I always felt informed, supported, and confident that my case was in capable hands.

I highly recommend Cohen & Cohen to anyone seeking a personal injury or accident attorney. If you want experienced legal representation, exceptional client service, and a team that truly cares about achieving the best possible outcome for you, this is the firm to choose. Thank you, Nicole and the entire Cohen & Cohen team, for your dedication and outstanding work!
