Insurance Companies and Motorcycle Accidents

What you should know about insurance companies if you are injured in a crash

Insurance companies want motorcycle accident victims to think they have their best interests at heart. When insurance companies make injury victims an offer, these companies often claim that's the best they can do.

We know better. We know that most insurance companies often do everything they can to pay accident victims as little as possible. That's because our experienced Ohio motorcycle accident attorneys at Gervelis Law Firm have years of experience handling such complicated cases, from crashes on I-77 in Akron to accidents on I-76 or I-80 near Youngstown.

    Why do insurance companies blame motorcyclists for causing accidents?

    Insurance companies and some drivers have some very outdated - and outright false - ideas about motorcyclists. Many people believe the rebel image of motorcycle riders - that they live outside the law and play by their own rules - is true for all riders. Drivers tend to see motorcycles as going too fast on the road. If a driver is in an accident with a motorcycle, often the motorcyclist gets blamed - and the insurance company will make assumptions about the rider that are not supported by the facts. The insurance company may argue that riding a motorcycle is an "assumption of risk." In other words, a rider knows that he or she is at risk of injury and automatically should be blamed in a crash.

    We know the truth and will protect our clients who are facing this type of bias. Most motorcyclists are like most people living in northeast Ohio. They're law-abiding citizens who simply enjoy the freedom of the open road and riding motorcycles on them.

    If you are injured or a loved one is seriously injured or dies in a motorcycle wreck, we can fight for your rights. You need a lawyer experienced at handling motorcycle accident cases and going toe-to-toe with the insurance company.
