Also, please take a look at the information below to get a better understanding of how the legal process works in these cases.

Will a lawsuit automatically be filed if I hire a lawyer?

Most cases can be resolved without the need to go through the formal process of filing a lawsuit and potentially going to trial. While that option always remains available if a fair agreement cannot be reached otherwise, this is not always (or even usually) the case. Visiting an attorney does not obligate you to anything, and so there is rarely anything to lose by contacting a legal professional and getting an idea of what might be the best choice in your particular case. A lawyer can explain what a likely outcome is in a particular case and indicate a reasonable recovery. The attorney then works on your behalf in negotiating with the other side and ensuring a fair settlement is reached. At all times the lawyer will impress upon the others involved that the option of going to trial exists if justice requires.

What damages can I recover if I hire a motorcycle accident attorney in Escondido?

An Escondido motorcycle accident victim (and their family) is usually entitled to two types of damage: economic and non-economic. Economic damages exist in all cases and involve medical expenses, property damage, lost wages, and similar clearly identifiable damages. Non-economic damages are less common and often include pain and suffering, loss of companionship, emotional distress, and other intangible issues. Walton Law Firm can explain what types are damages are appropriate in your particular case.

How long does it usually take to resolve?

There is no guaranteed time frame by which all cases are resolved. In general, cases that can be negotiated and resolved without the need to go to trial will be much shorter than those that result in a lawsuit being filed. Some negotiations can be concluded in a few months while more complex cases may take a year or more. Speaking directly with an Escondido motorcycle accident attorney after sharing details about your case may allow more specific projections to be made about how long before a resolution is reached.

Is there a statute of limitations for motorcycle lawsuits in California?

There is a two year limitation on filing a lawsuit for personal injuries after one of these accidents. In some cases the time limit may even by shorter—perhaps as soon as 6 months after the accident. That means that it is important for victims to come forward and visit with an attorney as soon as possible after an accident to ensure that rights are not lost.
