Simplify Your Motorcycle Accident Version
You want to win your motorcycle accident case, but to do so, you will be asked how it happened. The winning strategy is to keep your version simple and short. Nothing mucks a case more than a complex, difficult to understand, description of the accident. Endless explanations of how the motorcycle accident occurred only stand to confuse your listener, whether a juror or an adjuster. As an example, if someone turned left in front of you, why say something more elaborate than, "The car turned left in front of my motorcycle and I could not avoid the collision."
Have you ever listened to anyone who goes on and on about a collision or an event? The listener soon becomes bored and stops listening. When people stop listening, your point is lost.
Also note that credibility is something earned. Credibility is measured by your ability to convey easily and simply, how you were in the right and the other driver in the wrong. Therefore, in a motorcycle accident case, simple versions work the best.
Do not discuss unnecessary details that raise issues someone was not asking about. If the adjuster wants to understand how fast you were going, you should anticipate and practice your answer, preferably with the help of an attorney. Why give an answer "45 MPH" when you really do not recall the speed limit on the street or your speed. It is better to say a more truthful statement like, "the same speed as the other cars traveling next to me" or "Not fast since I was in second gear." You should be able to tell the truth easily, shortly, and with conviction.
