You Deserve Fair Compensation for Your Harrisonburg Motorcycle Accident
Attorney Jim Parrish has spent the last 20 years of his career advocating for his injured friends and neighbors. In that time, he’s learned something: many insurance companies don’t treat motorcyclists with respect. They’re biased. They have a perception of motorcyclists being aggressive, careless motorists––when, for many riders, that’s far from the truth.
As a motorcyclist, you have the same rights to the road as everyone else. You also have the right to seek fair financial recovery for the following if someone else caused you injury:
- Medical expenses, including medications, doctors’ co-pays, hospitalization, and emergency transportation services
- Lost income, along with missed tips, bonuses, and benefits
- The cost of replacing or repairing your motorcycle
- Out-of-pocket injury-related losses, including childcare costs, transportation arrangements, and in-home services, such as a nursing aide
- “Pain and suffering” and inconvenience
Va. Code § 8.01-243, otherwise known as Virginia’s statute of limitations, notes that you have just two years to file your personal injury lawsuit and seek damages. Once that period expires, you lose the right to seek compensation.
With the two-year deadline on the horizon, you benefit from promptly securing our legal services. That way, you can retain your right to seek financial recovery and file a lawsuit if necessary.
You Benefit From Our Decades of Legal Experience Handling Injury Claims
In the early days of his career, Attorney Jim Parrish defended insurance companies from high-stakes claims. Here, he learned the tricks of the insurance trade––one of which involves using artificial intelligence to automatically deny several cases at once. This means that if you’ve already received a low offer or denial from the liable insurer, it may have been made by a computer.
Using his knowledge of the claims process (and the inner workings of insurance providers), Jim has secured these outcomes for motor vehicle accident claimants:
- $1 million for a client injured in a head-on collision
- $975,000 for a motorcyclist following a serious collision in Haymarket
- $625,000 after a commercial vehicle collision caused a severe trauma response
- $500,000 for a truck accident that caused our client to undergo surgery
We put the full force of our knowledge, resources, and legal skills behind our clients’ cases. We’re prepared to do the same for you.
How Our Harrisonburg Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Advances Your Personal Injury Case
Hiring the Parrish Law Firm, PLLC, is a simple three-step process. First, you connect with our team and share some basic details about your situation, such as when your collision took place. Then, you schedule your FREE case review with our team, where, at your convenience, we meet to discuss your case. If we’re a good fit, Attorney Jim Parrish can break ground on your case and hold the liable party accountable.
To advance your case and secure fair compensation for your losses, we:
Investigate Your Collision’s Circumstances
Recovering compensation requires us to build a strong case based on evidence, such as:
- The police report
- Traffic camera footage
- Accident reconstruction data
- Photos of the accident scene
- Your medical records
- Injury-related bills, receipts, and invoices
Your lawyer may also interview eyewitnesses and get their perspectives on what occurred. These individuals can include bystanders, first responders, and law enforcement officials.
Determine Liability for Your Motorcycle Crash
The liable party depends on the details of your accident. For instance:
- If a negligent motorist caused your accident, we could seek compensation through their liability insurance.
- If faulty roadway conditions (such as on I-81) caused you to lose control of your bike, we can hold a government municipality responsible.
- If your motorcycle’s poor design led to the collision, you could have the basis of a product liability claim.
There could be more than one party financially responsible for your losses. In that instance, Attorney Jim Parrish can handle communications with each of them, seeking nothing less than what you’re rightfully owed.
File Your Personal Injury Claim
The Parrish Law Firm, PLLC, resolves most motorcycle crash cases through insurance negotiations. However, that doesn’t necessarily make the road to an out-of-court settlement straightforward. A fair outcome requires your Harrisonburg personal injury lawyer to:
- Understand the liable policy
- Calculate what constitutes a fair settlement
- Handle back-and-forth negotiations with the claims adjuster
- Recognize and combat bad faith insurance practices
While we handle the insurance company, you can focus your energy on healing and regaining control of your life. You don’t have to feel uncertain about your case’s outcome with us on your side.
Initiate a Lawsuit, if Necessary
Whether your case goes to court depends on many factors, including the insurance company’s willingness to negotiate. The fact remains: if your case requires litigation, it’s nothing Attorney Jim Parrish can’t handle. He’s represented countless clients at trial, all while continuing negotiations out of court with insurance providers.
In the words of one previous client: “Jim took my automobile accident case to trial in Fairfax and won! His preparation with me and our witnesses was extremely thorough and well-designed. He also effectively discredited the other side’s arguments while remaining courteous and professional. The judge even complimented his performance!”
