The good news is that if you work with Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas, you are entitled to a free case evaluation. Read on to learn about some of the signs that it may be time to call us at 909-982-0707.

  1. Your accident resulted in an injury

  2. If anyone was injured in your motorcycle accident then it’s worth at least talking to a personal injury attorney – no matter if you or someone else was injured.

  3. You had to get medical care

  4. If you needed medical care after a motorcycle accident then you certainly need to contact a personal injury attorney. You may be eligible for compensation for your injuries, medical bills, and time off work.

  5. Your injuries are still being treated

  6. Some injuries are acute, which means that though they make take some time to heal, once they’re healed they won’t cause major issues in the long-run. Others are chronic, which means that recovery can take years or it could never end. If you are continuing to get medical care for your injury sustained in a motorcycle accident then you should talk to an attorney.

  7. You won’t fully recover from your injuries

  8. If you suffered catastrophic injuries that you’ll never fully recover from, then your attorney could help you recover funds to compensate for those life-long injuries.

  9. Working is difficult or impossible

  10. You may know that if you have an injury that prevents you from working that you could be entitled to compensation for that lost income, but did you know that you may also be eligible for having your ability to work limited?

  11. You need adaptive technology

  12. The most common adaptive technology needed after a car accident is a wheelchair. However, there are other examples. Regardless of the type, you may be eligible for compensation for needed adaptive technology.

  13. You’ve had to modify your home

  14. In addition to needing adaptive technology, if you’ve needed to build ramps or railings to your home, then you may be eligible to be reimbursed via a personal injury case.

  15. You have pain from your injury

  16. Many people believe that their injuries have to impair their lives to make them eligible for compensation. This is not necessarily true. What is true is that if you have pain that is ongoing, you may be eligible for compensation – even if it’ doesn’t impair your ability to work.

  17. You’ve suffered emotional distress

  18. Motorcycle accidents are scary and traumatic. If you’ve had emotional distress from your accident, such as anxiety or depression, then you may be eligible for compensation.

  19. You haven’t accepted an insurance settlement

  20. Once you accept an insurance settlement, you’ve signed away your right to file a personal injury case. Before you accept any offer from an insurance company, it’s worth it to contact Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas at 909-982-0707 for a free case evaluation.
