A friend told me to call Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys (Brown, Koro & Romag, LLP) so I did. I am grateful I made that decision. I tried dealing with two other attorneys but nothing compared to Jim Romag and his team. Jim was very open about the whole case and never once tried to hide anything from me. Jim settled the case.

If you are in an accident call them - they can tell you right away how they can help you. Jim treated me like a family member and never let me down. Thank you, Jim!

Here are some insurance basics:Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist Coverage (UM/UIM)Do not place your ability to recover from an accident in someone elses hands. Getting UM/UIM insurance almost guarantees your ability to recover after an accident if the other party was at fault, depending on your injuries and damages. The more UM/UIM you get $100K or $300K or more the more likely you will be able to recover.Umbrella InsuranceCovers extensive damages as well as UM/UIMGet the best you can affordAdditional Collision CoverageWhile an insurance company may pay for the motorcycle accident damage to your sport bike or Harley, what about your accessories or that expensive paint job? Always save receipts when you add all that custom chrome to your bike or spend $5,000 on a paint job. We recommend getting additional collision coverage for the custom work on your bike to be sure you are properly compensated for the repair.

My oil line blew,so I pulled off and coasted towards my friend. We tied our tie down strap to each bike and putted though the darkness as the fog covered us like we wererolling into the twilight zone.
