Motorcycle accidents often leave victims with painful injuries and costly medical bills. On top of that, their injuries can keep them away from work and possibly even end their career.
No one should have to suffer like this due to someone else’s negligence. If you were hurt in a motorcycle accident, you can seek compensation for your losses. A Bessemer City personal injury lawyer with Farmer & Morris Law, PLLC, can build your case while you recuperate.
Your Motorcycle Accident Injuries May Warrant Various Forms of Compensation
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), motorcycle accident injuries in 2020 led to more than 180,000 emergency room visits. Such injuries tend to require extensive medical care, including surgeries, long hospital stays, and months or years of physical rehabilitation. This much care can be costly, and you shouldn’t have to foot the bill due to someone else’s negligence.
Our Bessemer City motorcycle accident attorneys can make a full accounting of your accident-related losses, which may include:
- Current medical bills
- Ongoing medical expenses
- Disability
- Pain and suffering
- Lost income
- Reduced earning capacity
- In-home aid
- Disfigurement and scarring
Other losses may apply in your case. We will make sure to field any settlement offers you receive from an insurer to make sure it would fairly compensate you for your damages. If not, we will negotiate a settlement by presenting the evidence of your losses, which may include your doctor’s prognosis and your wage statements.
Wrongful Death Damages
Motorcycle accidents can easily prove fatal, and if you lost a loved one, our wrongful death lawyers can be here for you. We can pursue compensation for:
- Your loved one’s funeral and burial or cremation services
- Loss of income for the financial contributions they made to the household
- Their accident-related medical bills
- Their pain and suffering
After such a tragedy, you and your family need time to grieve in peace and properly honor the memory of your loved one. A settlement or verdict can help you do just that and allow for a way to cope financially in their absence. We will be with you every step of the way.
Filing a Lawsuit for Your Bessemer City Motorcycle Accident
If we cannot secure a fair settlement offer from an insurer, we will not hesitate to file a personal injury lawsuit for you. In some cases, we may even suggest beginning with a lawsuit, especially if your injuries are severe.
We can handle all of the filing paperwork for your suit and help you meet the statute of limitations described in G.S. § 1-52. This generally gives you three years to file a personal injury lawsuit. According to G.S. § 1-53, you have even less time—generally two years—to file a wrongful death lawsuit.
When we take on your case, we will work to streamline the legal process as much as possible. If we begin with an insurance claim, we will keep our eyes on the clock as we negotiate with an insurer.

Our Bessemer City Motorcycle Accident Attorneys Work on Contingency
We know that you are already stressed out about finances after a motorcycle accident. The last thing we want to do is add to that stress. This is why we take motorcycle accident cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only take a percentage of your potential compensation at the end of your case.
Unlike other firms, we do not charge upfront fees, enabling us to work on it immediately and help you meet important filing deadlines. We can discuss more about our contingency fee agreement with you during a free consultation.
Make Sure You Follow Through With Your Treatment Plan After a Motorcycle Accident
You may be worried about mounting medical bills after a motorcycle accident, but this should not deter you from seeking medical care. Make it a point to see a doctor even if your injuries did not require emergency room care. Follow through with your medical treatment plan, too, since this will help you reach your maximum medical recovery.
These actions will also help protect your right to seek compensation. We can use your medical records as proof of your losses. Furthermore, if an insurer sees that you missed doctor’s appointments, it may claim that you contributed to your injuries. It could then work to undervalue or deny your claim outright.
