Let’s
face it; many people have preconceived notions regarding motorcyclists and
motorcycle crashes. This includes insurance companies and insurance adjusters
who review motorcycle accident claims. Motorcyclists will often be blamed for
the crash under the incorrect assumption that riding a motorcycle is inherently
dangerous. This is especially so for motorcycle accidents occurring in North
Carolina because our state follows the doctrine of contributory negligence
which bars recovery by a motorcyclist or driver who is partially at fault for an accident. Thus,
if the insurance company can point to anything that the motorcycle driver did
that contributed to the accident, they can try to deny the claim.
Often, the
insurance company will attempt to obtain a statement from the motorcyclist
immediately after the accident, before the rider obtains an attorney. Since the
insurance companies handle these claims every day, they know exactly what
questions to ask and how to ask them so that they can deny the claim. As a
result, it is extremely important for motorcyclist involved in an accident to
seek attorney representation immediately after a motorcycle accident. A Raleigh
