When you entrust your case to Dortch Lindstrom Livingston Law Group, we immediately spring into action. Here's how our skilled legal team works tirelessly to protect your rights and maximize your potential for a proper settlement.
Conduct a Thorough Investigation

- Visits the crash scene to gather physical evidence.
- Obtains and analyzes police reports and witness statements.
- Reviews traffic camera footage and surveillance video from nearby businesses.
- Works with accident reconstruction experts to determine exactly how the collision occurred.
- Investigates the at-fault driver's history, including any prior accidents or traffic violations.
Identify All Potentially Liable Parties
The driver who hit you may not be the only one responsible for your injuries. We explore all avenues of liability, including:
- Other motorists involved in the crash
- Government entities responsible for road design or maintenance
- Motorcycle or parts manufacturers if defective equipment contributed to the accident

Negotiating with Insurance Companies
Insurance adjusters often try to take advantage of injured motorcyclists, using unfair bias and stereotypes to devalue claims. But at Dortch Lindstrom Livingston Law Group, we have former insurance company defense attorneys on our team, so we know exactly how to help you avoid pitfalls in this process. Here’s what we do:
- Handle all communication with insurance companies on your behalf.
- Protect you from giving recorded statements that could be used against you.
- Counter lowball settlement offers with solid evidence of your damages.
- Aggressively negotiate for a fair settlement that truly reflects your losses.
Preparing Your Case for Trial
While many cases settle out of court, we prepare every incident as if it's going to trial—and we have decades of experience handling state and federal cases. This approach puts pressure on insurers to offer fair settlements and ensures we're ready if litigation becomes necessary. Our trial-ready strategy includes:
- Deposing witnesses and experts
- Filing all necessary legal motions
- Preparing compelling visual aids and exhibits
- Crafting a persuasive narrative that resonates with judges and juries
Overcoming Bias Against Motorcyclists
Unfortunately, many people hold unfair prejudices against motorcycle riders. Our attorneys work to dispel these myths and show the true story of your accident. We emphasize:
- Your safe riding history and practices.
- The negligent actions of the at-fault driver.
- The inherent dangers motorcyclists face on the road.
- The life-changing impact of your injuries.
