How Can a Meridian Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Help You Get Compensation?
According to the Idaho Transportation Department, there were 327 motorcycle crashes in Ada County in 2021. Out of these, 284 resulted in injuries, and 10 were fatal. This represents an increase from the previous year, when there were 264 crashes, 236 injuries, and 7 fatalities. The majority of the accidents occurred on urban roads (69%) and on weekdays (81%). The most common contributing factors were inattention (22%), failure to yield (15%), and speeding (14%). The average age of the riders involved in the accidents was 41, and the majority were males (88%). The highest number of crashes occurred in the summer months, from June to August.
The average cost for a motorcycle accident is between $2,500 and $1.4 million, depending on the extent of rider injuries. If the accident leads to a fatality, the average costs are around $1.2 million. Every year, 82,000 people are injured in motorcycle accidents, and over 4,000 lose their lives. These statistics and the sheer cost of these accidents are sobering, particularly for accident victims. If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle crash that was due to another driver’s negligence, you may be eligible to receive compensation. Before you settle for the amount offered by the driver’s insurance company, make sure you understand all of the potential types of compensation you may be eligible to receive. This compensation is called “damages” and pays for a number of expenses you face in the days ahead.
Motorcycle Injuries Tend to Come with High Medical Bills
Damages cover not only your current medical bills but also future costs for care. If you miss time from work while you recover, you can get compensation for that. Should your injuries mean you cannot work or are limited in what you can do, then you can get compensation for lost earning capacity.
Pain and suffering, including emotional trauma, is also part of your damages. These can be harder to put a value on, but they are still a valid reason to seek damages. If there was serious negligence, you may even be able to ask for punitive damages to punish them for their actions. In the case of a fatal motorcycle accident, the victim’s family can seek compensation for lost companionship and lost future wages. With so many considerations to make when seeking damages after a crash, you can easily get overwhelmed. Working with a motorcycle accident lawyer from Strong Law will help you protect your rights and interests.

“Very professional, and treated me as an equal.”
Just wanted to say thank you to Jed and his team at Strong Law. Not only was I happy with the outcome, but the entire process as a whole. I would definitely recommend this firm to anyone. Thanks again.
“Unbelievable work!”
I had a claim involving my own insurance company. I tried to negotiate with them, and they completely denied my claim – two times. I then hired Strong Law, and the change was instant. The insurance company immediately began negotiating, and Jed was able to secure an unbelievably good settlement. I will never again attempt to take-on an insurance company without Strong Law in my corner. Thank you!”
“I got justice and awesome compensation.”
“I hired Strong Law after my car accident. Jed and his team worked hard on my case. They were professional and compassionate through my surgery and as I recovered, and they were awesome on communication. I got justice and awesome compensation. I would recommend Strong Law to anyone in my situation.”

COMMON QUESTIONS OUR CLIENTS ASK OUR MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT ATTORNEYS
Do you have a question about a motorcycle accident and the aftermath? Here are some common questions and answers from our team of motorcycle accident lawyers.
How long will my motorcycle accident claim take?
The length of time it takes to handle a motorcycle crash claim depends on the complexity of the claim and how fault is shared. If the settlement happens outside of court, it can take just a few months. If it goes to court, it can take a year or more. A skilled motorcycle accident attorney can help speed up the process while ensuring that you are getting fair compensation.
Should I take the settlement offer from the insurance company after a motorcycle crash?
Insurance companies are businesses, which means they are trying to make money, not help you. Sometimes settlements are reasonable, but it’s always best to talk to a Meridian motorcycle accident attorney before accepting one. Your attorney can help you understand all of the costs associated with your case to determine whether the settlement is fair.
How much is a motorcycle accident claim worth?
The answer depends on the extent of your injuries and the amount of fault you share in the accident. In addition, the economic losses you sustain as a result of your accident, including time off work and lost wages, will factor into the amount your claim is worth. A skilled legal team can help you think through all of the potential losses you face after an accident.
How long do I have to file a claim after a motorcycle accident?
Under Idaho’s statute of limitations, most motorcycle accident victims have a two-year window to file a claim. While this might sound like a lot of time, moving quickly is important. As you focus on healing and recovery, you can quickly eat up that time. Also, the sooner you file your claim, the fresher the details and evidence will be. Contact a motorcycle accident attorney as soon as possible after your crash.
Can I file a claim if I share fault in the accident?
Idaho state is a comparative negligence state, which means both parties in a vehicle crash can share fault. This means you can file a claim, even if you are partially at fault in the accident. Your total settlement will be reduced by whatever percent of fault you share. So if you are 20% responsible for the accident, your settlement will be 80% of the total amount of damages.
Motorcycle crashes can have far-reaching consequences due to the type of injuries they cause. Because motorcycle riders have nothing between them and the road, these injuries are often quite severe. Common injuries after a motorcycle crash include:
- Traumatic brain injuries and other head injuries
- Spine injuries, including paralysis
- Broken bones
- Lacerations
- Road rash
- Organ and internal injuries.
The key to fair compensation in the aftermath of a crash is getting legal help quickly. A Meridian motorcycle accident attorney from Strong Law can guide you in the days ahead, so you do not make costly mistakes. If you are looking to protect your rights and ensure fair compensation, call 206-737-2997 as soon as possible after your crash.

What Is the Value of My Case?
The value of an injury case depends upon many factors related to the extent of your injuries and any other losses associated with your claim. You may have medical bills, lost income, costs associated with pain and suffering, among other possible damages. To learn the possible value of your case, contact the team at Strong Law. In a free case evaluation, we’ll let you know how much your case may be worth.
What Are Your Hours?
Strong Law is open five days a week between 9am and 5pm. In addition, we offer after hours return calls, weekend calls, and online chat.
What Kinds Of Cases Are Personal Injury?
Call us to know for sure, but a good rule of thumb is when an “accident” that happened to you because of the acts of or misdeeds of another party. Examples are: Auto accidents; motorcycle accidents; semi-truck accidents; wrongful death; medical malpractice; slip, trip and fall; boating accidents, faulty equipment, nursing home abuse; and many others.
Will I Be Charged To Consult Or Talk With You?
No, not ever. Strong Law is a contingency personal injury firm offering specialized experience along with access when you need it. Our goal is to gain the best settlement and provide comfort in the process, so easy access to us is part of our best practices.
What Does Contingency Mean?
Contingency in a legal matter means an expense to the client based on the outcome of a future event or circumstance which is possible but cannot be predicted with certainty. Said another way, Strong Law gets paid only if your case settles.
Can You Give Me An Assessment Of My Case?
Absolutely. While we cannot guarantee anything, nor do we imply a settlement, our willingness to take your case (and do it on contingency) is our voice that we feel your case has strong merit. After speaking with you, we can provide a merit assessment over the phone. However, we caution that accepting your case does not promise anything, your outcome is reflected in the law firm you choose.
What Should I Do If I’m Having Problems, Like Their Insurance Company Is Calling Me?
Always secure an attorney first. If you sign up with Strong Law now, you can advise their insurance company that you have representation and give them our name and contact information. From that time forward, they should not be contacting you again; it’s the law. If you do not sign with an attorney, like Strong Law, you will need to speak with them and represent yourself to resolve your injury. We strongly urge against this; insurance companies are skilled at ensuring their best interests over yours.
What Are Common Reasons For Insurance Injury Denials?
Make sure you receive medical treatment as soon as possible after an accident, otherwise insurance may argue your pain is from an unrelated incident.Insurance companies will be going out of their way to find some proof that the accident was your fault. Don’t be intimidated.If you have preexisting medical conditions that make you more likely to suffer an injury, it is not uncommon for insurance agencies to deny claims based on this.
How Long Does A Case Take To Settle?
It depends on many factors like medical care, future needs, evidence, proof of liability, and many others. Some cases take months while others can last a couple years. Ultimately, our goal is to represent you and what is going to be best for you in the long run.
Why Can Cases Last Years?
Because the law dictates it. There are many layers to make sure the insurance companies treat you with optimal care. For example, there will be time spent for medical treatments you might need. There is time to gather the needed medical reports and discover any long term impacts this injury will have on your life today and into the future. There is time for the other side to review our demands, research, and respond as well. It can feel like a long time, but we follow the law and strategize for the best benefit to you. We are with you the whole time.
