As members of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, our attorneys have an impressive record of success or clients with severe personal injury or wrongful death claims resulting from negligence. We also apply our investigative, negotiation and trial skills on behalf of people who can expect to make a complete (or incomplete) recovery from their injuries, but who need help achieving a favorable financial settlement from a negligent driver's insurer.
If the driver of a private passenger car was responsible for your injuries, you might need to go after your own insurance company for uninsured or underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) benefits. Getting access to your own UM/UIM coverage can be every bit as difficult as pursuing your claims against another driver's insurer.
The injuries we see in motorcycle accident cases run the range from broken bones and severe lacerations to permanently disabling or fatal injuries to the head, neck or spinal cord. Some of the most difficult cases involve claims for soft tissue injuries to the knees or ankles, or apparently minor head injuries that worsen over time.
The trial attorneys of Bernard & Hart work closely with clients and physicians not only to make sure you're getting the medical care you need, but to make sure that knee or head injuries are not overlooked or misdiagnosed. Sometimes the emergency room doctors don't even note your most serious and lasting injuries while they're working on the most obvious trauma.
We advise clients from Texas and Louisiana and visitors from other states
We handle accidents caused by the other driver's inattention, drunk driving, poor visibility, or such factors as road rage or cell phone use. To learn more about the scope of our motorcycle accident practice, contact an attorney at Bernard & Hart for a free consultation.
