Why Motorcyle Injury Victims Shouldn’t Accept the First Offer
If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle accident in Los Angeles, your choice of lawyer can make all the difference. Motorcycle accidents often result in catastrophic injuries, and insurance companies will do everything they can to minimize your claim.
Too often, injured victims accept the first lowball offer from an insurance company, unaware of the long-term medical costs and lost wages they may face.
A common sequence of events after a motorcycle accident is:
- You sustain injuries following a motorcycle accident (whether you were the rider or hit by a motorcycle)
- You get medical treatment
- You receive a call from an insurance company representative
- You’re offered a payment to “help with medical costs”
- You’re asked to sign documents to approve the payment
Be cautious. You may be about to sign away your right to any further compensation. If future rehabilitation, surgery, or loss of earnings far outweighs that initial offer, you’ll be left to cover those costs on your own.

How Peerali Law Secured 4x A Client’s Original Offer
In the case mentioned above, the client’s original attorney got a $74,000 offer from the liable party’s insurer. But Kristopher Peerali took on the case and won a $300,000 settlement within three weeks. This was possible through qualifying the injuries as “catastrophic” and detail the full extent of damages—including future medical bills, loss of earning capacity and emotional suffering.

How Do I Know I Have a Motorcycle Injury Case?
Not every motorcycle accident results in a personal injury claim. For a case to be successful, there must be clear evidence that another party’s negligence caused the accident or injury.
Factors that strengthen your motorcycle accident case include:
- Police reports and accident records
- Eyewitnesses and dashcam footage
- Medical records and evaluations
- Evidence strongly suggesting that another driver was at fault
- An insurance company contacting you for a quick offer
If you believe you have a motorcycle accident injury case, we offer a free consultation to review your situation. We’ll help you understand your legal options.
How Can a Lawyer Help Me After a Motorcycle Accident?
If you sustained an injury in a motorcycle accident due to the negligent acts of others, contact a motorcycle accident lawyer. Finding a skilled Los Angeles attorney as soon as possible is the single most effective thing you can do to protect your interests.
1. A Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Understands the Law
An experienced attorney is well-versed in the law. There’s no reason for you to know or try to figure out the intricacies of the legal system. That’s your lawyer’s job.
A skilled motorcycle accident attorney knows what’s required to build a strong case. They will use their knowledge, skill, experience, and resources to fight for the compensation you deserve.
2. Your Lawyer Does All the Work to Build Your Case
In addition to knowing the law, your attorney must prove that the negligent party is liable and that you’re entitled to damages. The success of your case depends on your lawyer persuasively proving these two things. But this takes work.
Thankfully, your attorney will do the heavy lifting and allow you to focus on recovery. Your attorney will gather the necessary evidence to prove liability and damages. Such proof can come from the following sources:
- Photographs and surveillance footage from the accident scene,
- Statements from eyewitnesses,
- Data from a driver’s mobile device,
- Police reports,
- Tax returns and pay stubs,
- Accident reconstruction reports,
- Medical expert witnesses,
- Medical bills and records, and
- Any other source that will prove liability and damages.
A Los Angeles motorcycle lawyer will gather evidence and negotiate with the insurance company to ensure you’re rightfully compensated for your losses.
3. Your Lawyer Increases Your Chances of Getting a Just Settlement
There’s no exact science for determining the value of your claim. The best way to get an accurate picture of the value of your claim is to work with an experienced motorcycle accident lawyer.
They can break down the relevant factors to estimate a fair settlement range for your unique case.
How Much Are the Legal Fees?
At Peerali Law, we operate on a no-win, no-fee model. This means you pay nothing upfront, and you owe us nothing unless we win your case.
Across the United States, contingency fees for personal injury cases generally range from 33%-40%, and may increase if a case goes to trial. Some firms also add extra fees or charge back expenses to the client—often without making this clear at the start of representation.
We don’t believe in hidden costs. Peerali Law provides transparent, written fee agreements so you know exactly what to expect. Many of our clients appreciate that we honor the terms of our contracts—with no surprise charges later. As one client shared in a five-star review:
“I am very happy with the settlement results… Peerali Law firm also did not charge me extra money as agreed upon in the retainer contract. They honored to stay at their minimum fee which meant a lot to me.” — L.F. (Yelp Review)
