Claudia investigates what happened, handles the insurance process, and pursues the compensation clients may be entitled to recover. Her motorcycle practice also reflects her own experience as a rider.

Direct attorney attention
A considered approach to the next step.

The crash and the evidence
The review considers the collision sequence, witnesses, photographs, available recordings, and the people or companies involved. Vehicle and commercial records may also need attention, depending on the collision.
02
The effect on your life
Medical treatment, bills, missed work, and changes to daily activities help explain the losses being claimed. Ongoing treatment and incomplete information should be discussed before making decisions about resolution.

A clear insurance discussion
Different policies and parties may be involved. Bring letters, requests, and offers so Claudia can assess what they concern, explain the next steps, and discuss the scope and terms of representation.
