After an accident, motorcycle owners are calling in for their Motorcycle Insurance Claims. The most obvious contribution to the cost is the quality of the insurance. It is the one thing that will most dramatically change the cost and affect the final compensation. But, there is more. There are factors that can be controlled in the aftermath of an accident that will decisively change the cost to the policyholder.
Most vehicle accidents involve two insurance companies. The one who is injured has their coverage, and the other party (injured or not) has their own policy. The situation usually results in a clear dynamic- the offensive and the defensive. In most accidents, there is one party vying for further compensation and the other who is defending their responsibility.
The greatest contribution to the cost of a claim is responsibility, and that responsibility is traditionally determined through the documentation of the accident. All injuries are assessed while on the scene. Afterwards, it is often the party who records the incident the best who has a big advantage going in. This will include photographs, witness reports, and statements. The police are a necessity for documenting reputable evidence that will hold up in court and determine the balance of responsibility.
The police can be taken for granted. The police may not have a clear incentive to stick around and review the entire breadth of the accident. They are non-bias. It is up ti the policyholder to often stick up for their own rights and the details of what they see. For example, the officer may not actively pursue different witness statements. The individual can take the initiative in obtaining a statement or encourage the officer to speak with a specific person. They may also not take photographs. Do not just expect that the police will gather all evidence when they have been known to let certain pieces of evidence fall through the cracks- consciously or not.
