Summerside Motorcycle Accident Lawyers

There’s nothing quite like the rush of hitting the open road on a motorcycle. The roar of the engine below you, the wind blasting on all sides, the white line of your favorite Summerside motorcycle route stretching out in front, and the heightened focus of living in the moment. However, when you are the closest and most exposed vehicle to the roadway, accidents do happen.

Don’t let the aftermath of a motorcycle accident derail your life. Contact NOVA Injury Law today and let us fight for the justice and compensation you deserve after a motorcycle accident.

Why do motorcycle accidents happen?

Having enough training and experience to handle a motorcycle is essential, especially in hazardous situations. Our team at NOVA Injury Law strongly encourages motorcyclists to participate in safety courses and keep up-to-date with the motorcycle laws and safety recommendations on Prince Edward Island.

However, the safety of motorcyclists is not solely in their hands. Unfortunately, external factors such as other drivers, poor roads, and disregard for motorcycles on the road put motorcyclists at risk. Careless drivers are a leading cause of motorcycle accidents. Due to the reduced visibility of motorcycles, drivers may overlook them and cause accidents by driving recklessly. Unsafe driving behaviors such as failing to check blind spots, not using blinkers, or sudden and unexpected braking can all lead to accidents.

In contrast to other vehicles that offer protection from the frame, seats, airbags, and driving assistance, motorcycles are exposed to the elements with very little protection. Motorcyclists are much more open to the weather and conditions of the roads, with restricted stability, traction, and braking control.

Motorcycle accidents often cause serious injuries

Motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable to severe injuries due to their exposure to other drivers, poor roads, and weather conditions. Injuries sustained from motorcycle accidents can range from broken bones, dislocations, and fractures to road rash, head injuries including traumatic brain injury, permanent muscle and nerve damage, internal bleeding and damage to vital organs, injuries to the back and spinal cord, and soft tissue injuries. These physical injuries are often accompanied by continuing financial and emotional trauma, including ongoing medical bills, rehabilitation treatments, motorcycle damage, loss of future income, and in-home caregiving costs, as well as PTSD, depression, and helplessness.

Unfortunately, fair compensation for these injuries and damages can be difficult to get from insurance companies, which often dispute and reject claims. At NOVA Injury Law, we are a team of local Islanders, experienced in motorcycle accident claims, and willing to fight for your right to fair compensation and ongoing support. We’ll handle the legal side of things, so you can focus on recovery.

We encourage motorcyclists to take safety courses and remain up to date with Prince Edward Island’s motorcycle laws and safety recommendations, but we also recognize that safety is not always in their hands. Our office in Summerside allows us to be close to you and offer you support when you need it most.

If you want fair compensation for your motorcycle accident, get in touch

If you’ve been involved in a motorcycle accident in Summerside, it’s crucial to take immediate action. Get in touch with NOVA Injury Law today for a Free Case Review. During this review, we will thoroughly examine all relevant documentation, witness statements, and expert opinions to ensure that you receive the full compensation you’re due.

Our team will assess liability and collaborate with our network of medical professionals, engineers, and accident reconstruction experts to provide a complete understanding of how the injury has impacted your life and what damages you may incur.

Are you eligible for accident benefits following your motorcycle accident?

Your health should be your top priority, and we advise seeking medical attention as soon as possible, even if you believe your injuries are not severe. Given the high-impact nature of motorcycle accidents, immediate medical help is recommended.

Once you have received medical attention, we recommend that you promptly contact YOUR auto insurance provider to cover any immediate medical expenses arising from the motorcycle accident. This type of coverage is known as ‘accident benefits’ or ‘Section B’ benefits. To help you to receive accident benefits for your injury, our team of motorcycle accident lawyers have prepared a useful guide, which can be accessed during our Free Case Review.

To access your accident benefits, you need to complete notice of loss forms which is generally sent to you after you have contacted your insurer. The first section generally requests personal information and information about the accident. Usually the insurer’s documentation will also request your authorization to disclose medical information to the insurance company.

We advise against providing authorization to the insurance company, and instead suggest informing the insurance adjuster that you will provide all relevant information on request.

You will also be required to complete treatment forms, which NOVA Injury Law can assist you with, in consultation with your doctor.

Once you have submitted the required forms to the insurance company, they will assess and either approve or deny the accident benefits. If you are unsatisfied with the coverage amount or if your claim is denied – or if you simply want assistance with completing these forms, contact NOVA Injury Law and schedule a Free Case Review.

It’s always a good idea to call a motorcycle accident lawyer

Getting motorcycle accident benefits can be a challenging and stressful process, with no guarantee of receiving fair compensation from insurance companies. Our team of motorcycle injury lawyers will assist you in the following ways:

1. Conducting a comprehensive investigation of the accident, gathering evidence, identifying witnesses, and determining liability, to create the most compelling case possible.
2. Documenting your injuries, working closely with medical experts to determine the extent of your injuries, whether they are long-term, and how they impact your daily life and ability to work.
3. Preparing and filing the necessary legal documents accurately and quickly.
4. Determining the appropriate amount of compensation to ensure all your recovery needs are met.
5. Negotiating with uncooperative insurance companies on your behalf, and, if necessary, representing you in court.

It’s important to seek legal assistance as soon as possible after a motorcycle accident. Any delays could stall your case and prolong your suffering.

Take advantage of our contingency fee agreements for all types of motorcycle injury claims.

There is no upfront cost to pay, and legal fees are based on a percentage of the settlement or the amount awarded at trial. This means we will fight to maximize your compensation because when you win so do we.

Depending on location and type of case, our fees will typically range from 25% – 35%. Of course, we will explain our fee structure and answer any questions you have during the Free Case Review.

At NOVA, we believe in fighting for the individual. Once you put us in the fight, we don’t leave until you get what’s yours.

If you’ve suffered from a motorcycle accident, it’s crucial to act now.

Motorcycle injuries are severe by nature, requiring substantial medical, financial and emotional treatment.

Adding to our experience, we have a practicing emergency room physician with special training in occupational medicine consulting on all of our cases, as required. Having this expertise built into our practice means two things:

1. We have ready-made access to a doctor to provide advice on your injuries from the moment your Free Case Review starts.
2. Depending on your injuries, our doctor can then organize fast advice from a specialist. So if you have a fracture or a torn muscle or ligament, we would consult with an orthopedic surgeon or if you believe your eye-sight has been affected following an accident we would seek priority advice from an ophthalmologist. Likewise, our in-house physician can organize prioritized access to other occupational therapists who not only help our client’s recover from injury, but help us develop accurate forecasts of future recovery and rehabilitation needs.

This operating model is built on professionalism, attention to detail, and support for our clients, every step of the way. From the moment you talk with us about your needs, you have immediate access to medical support and advice. It also gives our lawyers the green-light to build medically-backed watertight compensation claims in a way no other personal injury law firm can. And with our no-win, no-fee arrangements, you get all of this for free until we win your case.

This is the reason that NOVA Injury Law is considered to be one of the premier personal injury law firms on PEI, and trusted by many Summerside residents to pursue matters vigorously and thoroughly. We often receive feedback from our clients on how quickly they feel supported as we dedicate ourselves to building strong case files from the outset.

We understand the devastating impact that such accidents can have on you and your loved ones. You are not alone, and our team of experts will fight so that you receive the medical treatment and compensation that’s rightfully yours.
