Cross Border Motorcycle
Accidents
The personal
injury lawyers at Brett & Coats help their
motorcycle accident clients receive prompt, fair
and just compensation for injuries caused by the
negligence of others. We have been helping
motorcycle accident victims collect substantial
settlements and awards for over 33 years. We
understand that as a motorcycle accident victim
you may be overwhelmed and suffering from
emotional, physical and financial burdens. It
may be difficult for you to defend your own
rights while going through the stressful
recovery process. Brett & Coats strives to
return victims of motorcycle accidents to the
life they led prior to their injury. While
monetary compensation cannot change the past, it
can help victims and their families worry less
about the economic side of their future.
We practice throughout Washington state and can
meet with clients in:
Bellingham or Vancouver, British Columbia,
Mount Vernon, Anacortes, or Friday Harbor,
Seattle, Tacoma, or Eastern Washington.

MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS
Over 80% of all motorcycle accidents result in
injury or death. About one-third of
multi-vehicle motorcycle crashes are a result of
other motorists turning into the path of the
motorcycle. Other injuries and fatalities are
caused by unsafe or defective equipment, or
poorly maintained property or roads.
Motorcyclists account for a high percentage of
all serious injuries on the road.
WHAT WE CAN DO FOR YOU.
If you have been injured in a motorcycle
accident or have lost someone to a cycle-related
death, Brett & Coats attorneys can make
certain that you receive prompt, fair and just
compensation for medical costs, future medical
expenses, lost income, future loss of earning
capacity, as well as for general damages for
pain and suffering. Our attorneys will:
- Prove any
negligence on the part of others involved in
the accident. Negligence may include
reckless or inattentive drivers or badly
maintained property and roads.
- Establish any
liability for defective motorcycle
components or design problems and hold the
manufacturer accountable for compensation.
Examples of manufacturer defects can be
found in the numerous motorcycle recalls due
to brakes that fail, defective tires, bolts
that snap and other production or design
flaws.
- Negotiate a
prompt, fair and just settlement.
While insurance
is designed to address an accident victim's
economic issues, it is important to remember
that insurance companies are in business to
maximize their profits. The job of the insurance
adjuster is to settle the claim for the lowest
possible payment. Insurance companies have a
ready team of adjusters, investigators and
attorneys whose focus is to minimize the amount
of money paid to motorcycle accident victims.
Should you choose not to be represented by a
qualified attorney, you will face the
considerable resources of a powerful insurance
company alone. Insurance companies pay almost
triple the amount of money in cases where the
victim is represented by a lawyer. As you are
recuperating from the accident, the person who
caused your injury may have already notified his
insurance company which is already busy trying
to minimize their payout.
At Brett & Coats, our attorneys give
proactive attention to the needs of each client.
Our firm's motorcycle accident attorneys have
the training and experience to develop the
critical evidence necessary to win your
motorcycle accident claim. We help the justice
system meet its goal of returning personal
injury victims to the life they led prior to
their injury. With full, maximum monetary
compensation, you can meet the challenge of
recovery and worry less about financial losses.
We help by coordinating medical payments,
organizing documentation and supporting each
client through the sometimes difficult claims
process. Since insurance companies know our
firm's determination to litigate cases when a
settlement offer is inadequate, we are usually
able to resolve motorcycle accident claims
through negotiation. Call the attorneys at Brett & Coats PLLC today at 360-714-0900,
