If you’re in a motorcycle accident, you won’t be very happy. It means medical bills, bike repair, lots of pain and suffering, along with many other complications and concerns that nobody wants to deal with.
But despite all of these, many people still think it is in their best interest to represent themselves in a personal injury lawsuit. Besides, who wants to pay a lawyer on top of all the other costs? But, trust us, you do not want to represent yourself in a lawsuit, and here’s why.
To start, the insurance companies that will be paying for your bills immediately sees you as a way to save money if you represent yourself. They know when a person is knowledgeable about how they work, and they definitely know when someone is not. They may appear nice and friendly, and the actual agents may be, but insurance companies are never on your side. Without seeming like it, they will low-ball you, making it more difficult for you to pay your bills, and saving them a lot of money for the next case. They will try to play with your emotions so you accept an offer far lower than the one you deserve.
Which goes along with another point: you are emotional. It is impossible not to be when in an accident. And that is totally okay, but not when you’re trying to negotiate deals for the maximum compensation you deserve. If you play too stubborn, you may wind up in court and lose any recovery you could have received. If you don’t play stubborn enough, you’re likely to wind up accepting an offer that is far less than you deserve.
