FAQ Frederick Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

1. What should I do right after a motorcycle crash?

After a crash, your first priority is health — get medical attention. Then, document everything: take photos of the scene, your injuries, and vehicles. Gather witness contacts, and report to the police. Finally, contact an attorney before giving detailed statements to insurance companies.

2. Why should I hire Metzger Wickersham after a motorcycle accident?

At Metzger Wickersham, our Frederick team has deep personal injury experience, including successful motorcycle-crash claims. We take time to understand how the accident affects you, build a strong case, and negotiate (or litigate) to maximize compensation. 

3. How does Maryland law affect my ability to recover money?

Maryland follows a contributory negligence rule: if you are found even 1% at fault, you may be barred from any recovery.  That makes having a skilled lawyer crucial — we work to counter claims of partial fault and prove the other party’s liability.

4. What types of compensation can I recover?

With Metzger Wickersham, you may recover:
  • Medical expenses (past and future)
  • Lost wages / reduced earning ability
  • Pain and suffering
  • Property damage (your motorcycle)
  • Other losses tied to the accident, including long-term care if needed

5. How long do I have to file a claim?

You generally have three years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit in Maryland. Waiting too long can jeopardize your rights, so it’s wise to consult an attorney early.

6. Will insurance companies treat my case fairly?

Not always. Insurance adjusters often try to minimize payouts, especially in motorcycle cases — sometimes by claiming you’re at fault. At Metzger Wickersham, we handle all communication with insurers for you, present strong evidence, and don’t accept lowball offers.

7. Do I pay anything upfront to work with your firm?

No — you pay nothing upfront. Metzger Wickersham works on a contingency fee basis: we only get paid if we recover compensation for you. This lets you focus on recovery while we handle the legal work. FAQ Frederick Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
