Motorcycle riders often face disrespect on the road despite being some of the best defensive drivers. [Motorcycle accidents](https://www.bringonbert.com/glossary/motorcycle-accidents-2/) can be particularly devastating, highlighting the importance of having adequate uninsured/underinsured motorist [insurance](https://www.bringonbert.com/glossary/insurance-2/) in Stafford. Many at-fault drivers carry insufficient coverage, so it’s crucial for riders to protect themselves with sufficient [insurance](https://www.bringonbert.com/glossary/insurance-2/), even if they only ride during the Spring and Summer months. Riders should never ride without proper [insurance](https://www.bringonbert.com/glossary/insurance-2/) coverage. At Bert McDowell injury Law, we have a great deal of experience representing injured riders in their motorcycle accident. There is a great deal of stress with properly filing a [claim](https://www.bringonbert.com/glossary/claim/) with the [insurance](https://www.bringonbert.com/glossary/insurance-2/) company, getting your motorcycle assessed for [damages](https://www.bringonbert.com/glossary/damages/), and arguing with the at-fault [insurer](https://www.bringonbert.com/glossary/insurer/) regarding [fault](https://www.bringonbert.com/glossary/fault-2/). It is common for medical bills associated with [motorcycle accidents](https://www.bringonbert.com/glossary/motorcycle-accidents-2/) to be high. At the same time, due to your injuries, you are confined to your home, and continue to miss days from work. Stafford motorcycle accident attorney Bert McDowell will fight to get you the [compensation](https://www.bringonbert.com/glossary/compensation/) you deserve and help you get back to conquering the open road.

If you or a loved one has been injured, Bring On Bert! ## The Importance of the Right Stafford Motorcycle Accident [Lawyer](https://www.bringonbert.com/glossary/lawyer/) There are people that try to navigate through an injury [claim](https://www.bringonbert.com/glossary/claim/) on their own. They are under the care of a medical doctor, submitting documents for short-term disability, negotiating [fault](https://www.bringonbert.com/glossary/fault-2/), and finally, negotiating a [settlement](https://www.bringonbert.com/glossary/settlement-2/). Why do people insist on not hiring a [lawyer](https://www.bringonbert.com/glossary/lawyer/)? The [answer](https://www.bringonbert.com/glossary/answer/) is simple. Some people think they can recover more, without a [lawyer](https://www.bringonbert.com/glossary/lawyer/). In their mind, if they do not have to pay a fee to a [lawyer](https://www.bringonbert.com/glossary/lawyer/), then they will make out with more [compensation](https://www.bringonbert.com/glossary/compensation/). However, there are studies demonstrating that injured people who are represented by a [lawyer](https://www.bringonbert.com/glossary/lawyer/) tend to make 3.5 – 4x more than they would negotiate by themselves.

The [police report](https://www.bringonbert.com/glossary/police-report/) typically provides the officer’s thoughts on [fault](https://www.bringonbert.com/glossary/fault-2/), [witness](https://www.bringonbert.com/glossary/witness-2/) statements, names and addresses of everyone involved, and their [insurance](https://www.bringonbert.com/glossary/insurance-2/) policies. ### Record Everything Pictures and video recordings will help your injury case. However, you must take pictures/videos of every car involved. [Evidence](https://www.bringonbert.com/glossary/evidence-2/) of property damage can be used to help increase the value of your injury case.
