Contact Davidson Law Firm
Call before insurers call you. We preserve helmet data, crash-scene video, and EDR downloads fast.
Why Riders Choose Davidson Law Firm
Insurers stereotype bikers as reckless. We flip the script with laser-focused investigation and expert testimony. Low caseloads mean you work directly with attorney Brian Davidson—no hand-offs—while we push carriers for full value or take them to trial.
Helmet Law, Bias, and Your Compensation
Alabama requires DOT-approved helmets for every rider and passenger. Wearing one can reduce head trauma and blunt the insurer’s argument that you “assumed the risk.” Jurors often carry an unconscious bias against motorcyclists; our trial strategy highlights roadway negligence, distracted driving, and road hazards to prove the other party’s fault.
FAQ
Does Alabama’s helmet law affect damages?
Yes. If you rode without a proper helmet, insurers will argue contributory negligence. Proper gear protects both your health and your claim.
Will uninsured motorist coverage help if the driver fled?
UM benefits can cover medical bills, lost wages, and pain even in hit-and-run crashes.
How do you prove a driver’s negligence?
We pull dash-cam footage, cell-tower data, event data recorder (EDR) downloads, and eyewitness statements to show distraction, speeding, or impairment.
Is lane-splitting legal in Alabama?
No. Lane-splitting is prohibited, but weaving within a single lane is not.
When will medical bills be paid?
Providers usually hold off until settlement, but we negotiate liens and seek med-pay benefits to cover immediate costs.
