Sign Nothing Unless Your Trusted Lawyer Approves It First
Never, but never, sign anything until you have consulted with us and decided to retain a lawyer, whether through us or otherwise. People may claim you need to sign papers to protect your assets, your motorcycle, your records, and valuables - or to avoid other dire consequences. Don’t take their advice. That means sign NOTHING without your lawyer’s approval. And you don’t have to sign papers of any kind. No matter what anyone says, you have the right to consult your trusted lawyer before you sign anything.
Beware of Insurance Reps
Sometimes insurance company reps or others may tell you they will fix your motorcycle if you will sign a simple piece of paper called a “Release” - DON’T fall for it: Your signing this release could result in your waiving or releasing all your other rights to money damages and compensation for your injuries or losses.
Hidden Motives
Think about the ulterior motives of those who ask you to sign a paper unapproved by your trusted lawyer. No one will ask you to sign anything unless they want written proof of the agreement stated on the papers. While that paper may look innocent, it can have disastrous effects on your pocketbook - and even on your ability to get the kind of medical care you deserve.
Denying You Your Rights
Your signing some papers could keep you from ever recovering the compensation you deserve for the injuries and damages suffered in the accident.
How Your Lawyer Can Help
A good lawyer will review documents before you sign them, tell you when not to sign a document, and fight for your rights if someone requires a harmful document in exchange for your getting your motorcycle fixed or medical payments.
