Assume that you are speeding on your motorcycle when someone makes a left turn and collides with your bike. The other party didn’t make a safe left turn, but you also contributed to the accident by not following the speed limit. Because you’re partially responsible, you might not think you have a legal claim, but that’s not the case in New Mexico and Arizona. Both states follow the doctrine of comparative negligence, meaning you can recover damages if you share some degree of responsibility.
Using the previous example, assume that the evidence shows that you’re 20 percent at fault, and the other driver is 80 percent responsible. Any damages you collect will be reduced by 20 percent. Thus, you can still collect money, but it will be less than you could receive if you were not at fault at all.
This can be complicated, so reach out to our motorcycle accident lawyer for more information. During your free consultation, you can discuss comparative negligence and your role in the accident (if any).
Your motorcycle accident lawyer will value your claim after reviewing the evidence. You might be eligible for past, current, and future medical bills. Additionally, your legal claim can replace lost wages, pay for property damage, and more. Your claim’s value depends on various factors, including the extent of your injuries and your long-term care needs. Contact us today for a free evaluation. After reviewing your case and conducting our investigation, we can value your claim. Once we know what your case is worth, we can open up negotiations with the other party’s insurance company.
