Code \u00a7 6-2-38). Deadlines vary by claim type, so confirm yours with a Huntsville motorcycle accident attorney as soon as possible."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Does Alabama require motorcycle riders to wear a helmet?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. Alabama law says no person shall operate or ride upon a motorcycle or motor-driven cycle unless he or she is wearing protective headgear that meets state standards (Ala. Code \u00a7 32-5A-245). How a helmet issue affects a claim depends on the facts."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What if I was partly at fault for the crash?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Alabama follows contributory negligence, which means being found even slightly at fault can bar you from recovering compensation. There are limited exceptions, and every case is different, so talk with an attorney before you discuss fault with an insurance company."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What if the driver says they did not see me?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Not seeing a motorcyclist is not a defense. Drivers have a duty to look, check mirrors and blind spots, and share the road. We look at distraction, speed, lighting, and anything else that blocked the view."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What if the driver had no insurance or not enough?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"You may be able to use your own uninsured motorist coverage, which Alabama requires auto liability policies to include unless the policyholder rejects it in writing (Ala. Code \u00a7 32-7-23). The details of your policy matter, so have an attorney review it."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What compensation can I seek after a Huntsville motorcycle accident?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Depending on your case, you may be able to seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, property damage, and other losses. What applies to you depends on the facts of your claim."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What should I do right after a motorcycle accident?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Call 911, get medical care, stay at the scene if you can do so safely, get the driver's information, take photos, find witnesses, keep your gear, and avoid giving a recorded statement to an insurance company before you talk with a lawyer."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How much does a Huntsville motorcycle accident lawyer cost?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Mama Justice handles motorcycle accident cases on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay no attorney fee unless we win. Your first consultation is free."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Where is the Mama Justice office in Huntsville?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Our Huntsville office is at 200 West Side Square, Suite 975, Huntsville, AL 35801.
