On October 12, 2018, a fatal motorcycle crash in Redding closed down both lanes of Highway 299 west. According to California Highway Patrol (CHP), an 81-year-old man driving a blue van allegedly crashed into the motorcyclist, Ulysses Allen Jones. The driver was preparing to make a left turn when the two vehicles collided, throwing the motorcyclist off his bike. Extenuating circumstances behind the collision are still being investigated by the CHP.
Pursuing Compensation After an Accident
Riding a motorcycle can be a fun and exciting hobby, but it isn’t necessarily the safest method of transportation. In fact, the fatality rate for motorcyclists is 6 times higher than any other motor vehicle drivers. If you’ve been injured in a collision due to the reckless or negligent actions of another person, call the Redding motorcycle accident lawyers at Haslerud Law Office. Our experienced legal team can help you file a claim and pursue compensation that facilitates your financial and physical recovery.
A successful case can yield the following damages:
- Present and future medical expenses
- Rehabilitation costs
- Professional care fees
- Transportation charges
- Lost income
- Loss of earning potential
- Pain and suffering
However, insurance companies aren’t above participating in shady practices if it ultimately saves them money. In fact, injured parties that fail to retain legal representation frequently fall prey to an insurance company’s dubious tactics and machinations. At Haslerud Law Office, we can protect your claim and right to compensation by negotiating with insurance companies on your behalf. We can also ensure that you aren’t pressured into accepting an inadequate settlement amount or tricked into jeopardizing the validity of your claim.
