- Dealing with the Insurance Company After a Bike Crash
Motorcycle owners are generally people who love the open road, love the independence that their preferred mode of transportation provides and also understand the risks involved with driving such a vehicle. While the climate and geography of Arizona is perfect for a motorcycle, those who ride them are as vulnerable here as they are anywhere else when it comes to potential collisions with larger vehicles. When these crashes occur, it often results in disastrous fallout, and Phoenix personal injury lawyers are constantly busy helping injured clients.
One look at the statistics will tell the story regarding the risks involved with driving a motorcycle in Phoenix. On average, almost 150 people are killed in motorcycle accidents every year and another 3,000 people are injured. Given the fact that these drivers and passengers are not protected by the body of a typical automobile, many of these injuries are quite severe. When a motorcycle accident occurs, almost everyone involved will at some point soon have to deal with an insurance company. Below is a brief overview of how to handle this process.
1. File Your Claim
After the accident and after you’ve given your police statement and obtained whatever medical attention you need, file your claim with your insurance company as soon as possible. This will at least get the process started in regards to your own coverage, and the sooner that gets moving the better off you’ll likely be in the long run. Once this claim is filed, you need to prepare to handle the incoming questions that are sure to be on the way from the other party’s insurance carrier.
2. Defer Any Questioning
When you are in a motorcycle accident, you’ll almost surely hear from a representative from the other party’s insurance company. While these contacts will likely be civil and polite on the surface, you need to remember that these professionals are well schooled in the art of protecting their employers from financial liability. Therefore, almost any question you answer or any statement you provide could wind up harming your position. Instead of getting into any details, politely tell this representative that you’d like him or her to simply refer to the police report for a summary of how the accident occurred.
3. Contact an Arizona Motorcycle Accident Attorney
While it would be a good idea to make this contact before you get involved with any insurance issues, you need to take this step at some point, and the sooner the better. The reason is that when you retain an attorney, you can simply refer all questions/concerns to your attorney, even from your own insurance company and their adjusters. If you retain an attorney before getting involved with an insurance company on either side of the issue, he or she will get in touch with these companies to let them know that you have representation and that all communications should come to his or her office.
Therefore, hiring an Phoenixmotorcycle accident attorney will likely remove most of the stress that comes with handling and dealing with insurance companies after an accident. If you’ve been involved in such an incident, contact Phillips Law Group today to schedule a free initial consultation.

Many companies talk about teamwork but few practice it. Many companies talk about an employee friendly environment but few actually provide it. At Phillips Law Group the foundation of our success is making sure we work as a team and that we work in an environment that allows everyone to thrive and be at their best every day. Our firm understands that in order for the client to have a great experience the people responsible for that client’s case must be given all the necessary tools and encouragement to make that happen. That’s the Phillips Way. As a manager of this firm in charge of several employees as well as directly affecting the client’s experience I take tremendous pride in saying we live by these premises and we work hard to build on them and make them better every day. This is an amazing place because it has amazing people working here!

I was recently served court documents that I was being sued from an accident that happened years ago. For someone who has never been through something like this and not familiar with the court lingo or where to even begin, it was very frustrating and stressful. I reached out to a family member who knew Tracy Laskos and the great reputation of Phillips Law Group and within the hours of the initial call for help, I had a direct number to Lead Attorney Nassar. Nassar heard my case and almost instantly put me at ease by explaining the process and how easy it was to handle. Nassar spoke to me like he was a friend, not like I was a client. I am so grateful to Tracy, Nasar and of course my cousin Stephanie for helping out and giving me the direction that I needed to get through this situation. I plan on referring my friends, family and patients that are in need of a personal injury Attorney to Phillips Law Group. Thank you!!
