Since motorcycle crashes often end in serious injuries, victims need immediate help

Motorcycle accidents are more likely to end in serious injuries or death for the motorcyclist, since the rider is not protected from the force of a collision. When a motorcycle accident happens, the injured rider needs immediate, appropriate medical care, the accident needs to be investigated, and the insurance companies need to be informed.

When a motorcycle crash is caused by negligence, additional steps need to be taken to protect the legal rights of the injured motorcyclist or the family members of someone killed in a motorcycle crash. Go here to learn more about motorcycle accidents and claims.

I AM THE GRANDMOTHER OF BRANDON BEVERLY WHO WAS KILLED ON MARCH 10, 2014. WE ARE STILL IN A STATE OF SHOCK. MY QUESTION IS HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE AN INSURANCE COMPANY TO CONTACT THE PARENTS ON A DEATH CLAIM. DEATH CLAIMS ARE HANDLED DIFFERENTLY FROM A REGULAR COLLISION. SHOULD THE PARENTS CONTACT THE INSURANCE CO OR SHOULD THEY WAIT FOR THEM TO CONTACT THE PARENTS. HOW CAN THEY GET INFORMATION ON THE PERSON THAT WAS DRIVING THE CAR.
