After a motorcycle crash, you need someone who will listen to what happened and take your injuries seriously. Your case should be evaluated on the evidence, with attention to the person behind the helmet.
Karl Gebhard represents injured riders in Milwaukee and the surrounding communities. At Gebhard Law Office, you can discuss the collision directly with an attorney who handles personal injury claims and litigation.
Look beyond assumptions about riders
A useful investigation focuses on the circumstances of the collision: the vehicles’ movements, the road conditions, witness accounts and the physical evidence. Whether the crash involved a turning vehicle, a lane change or another disputed sequence of events, the details matter.
Tell Karl what you remember and what questions remain. Photographs, crash reports, available video and witness information can help organize that discussion. Preserve damaged equipment and other relevant items if you can do so safely.
Document the effect of your injuries
Motorcycle injuries can disrupt work, family responsibilities and ordinary routines. Keep your treatment records, bills, insurance correspondence and information about time away from work. If you need help with daily tasks, make a note of that as well.
Your medical providers should guide your treatment. The legal evaluation focuses on the circumstances of the crash, the evidence connecting it to your injuries and the losses that can be documented. The value and outcome of a claim depend on its particular facts.
Help with the insurance questions
Insurance paperwork can be difficult to manage while you are recovering. Bring any requests for information, proposed settlements or releases to your consultation. Karl can explain the issues involved and discuss how to move forward.
Personal attention also means understanding your questions. Ask about the investigation, communication with insurers, expected next steps and how fees and case costs would be handled if the firm takes your case.
Can I call if fault is disputed?
Yes. Tell the office that fault is disputed and bring any reports or correspondence you have. A disagreement about the crash is a reason to review the evidence carefully.
Do I need all my medical records before calling?
No. You can start with the information you have and discuss what additional records may be needed.
