Dealing with a motorcycle accident is stressful enough, but when your claim seems stuck in limbo, it can feel incredibly frustrating and overwhelming. If you're a Florida resident facing delays, here's what you can do to navigate this uncertain time.
Understand Why the Claim is Pending
As your dedicated legal advocates, we believe in keeping you informed and holding responsible parties accountable. A pending claim often means that your attorney and the insurance company are still engaged in negotiations or detailed investigations. Common reasons for delays include:
Complex Liability Issues: Proving fault in a motorcycle accident, especially in busy Florida traffic, can be complicated. If multiple parties may be at fault, determining and assigning liability takes time.
Thorough Medical Investigations: Insurance companies often require extensive reviews of medical records, especially for catastrophic injuries. We are diligently compiling comprehensive evidence to ensure your claim accurately reflects the full extent of your injuries—such as brain injuries or spinal cord injuries—and your future needs.
Negotiating Fair Compensation: While a quick settlement might seem tempting, accepting a lowball offer is a disservice to your future. We are relentlessly negotiating to secure the full and fair compensation you are entitled to, which is a process that requires patience and firm advocacy.
Maintain Open Communication with Your Attorney
In a pending case, accountability from all parties, including your legal team, is paramount. We believe in open, honest communication.
Ask for Updates: Never hesitate to reach out to your attorney. They should be able to provide clear explanations of the latest developments, upcoming milestones, and the reasons behind any continued delays.
Continue Treatment and Document Everything: The single most important thing you can do for your pending claim is to continue following your doctor’s treatment plan and meticulously document every expense and appointment. Even small gaps in treatment can be used by opposing counsel to argue that your injuries are not as severe as claimed.
Track Non-Economic Damages: Beyond medical bills and lost wages, keep a detailed journal of how the injury impacts your daily life (your pain, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment). This diligent documentation helps us argue for non-economic damages, ensuring we seek justice for your entire loss.
