Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys

1. Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys Russ Brown, the original motorcycle lawyer who rides, founded Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys in 1975.  His lifelong passion for riding naturally led him to help fellow bikers who were being taken advantage of in personal injury cases.  As his attention to bikers’ rights and participation in political debates propelled him into the limelight, he quickly became known as the top motorcycle attorney in California, then the U.S.  In 2013, Russ was honored to become the first lawyer ever to be inducted into the Sturgis Motorcycle Museum Hall of Fame.

4. The Insurance Runaround Typical insurance company tactics include rushing you to close your case quickly and under value it–or conversely, employing delay upon delay upon delay to wear you down.  Their first line of defense is the claims adjuster, who will try to minimize the seriousness of your case, in an effort to settle on their terms and to their benefit.  Once you have accepted their offer, your case is done.  Our job is to protect the interest of our client, to maximize your recovery, while securing a fair and adequate settlement or judgment for the pain and suffering you have endured. Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys truly care about the riders they represent.  We know how insurance companies operate.  Even if ultimately you do not require a lawyer, our experienced free legal advice can help guide you through.  Call us now at 800-424-5377 to discuss your case with your local counsel – We Ride, We Care, We Win.

7. Client Testimonial I was in a very bad motorcycle crash which almost cost me my right leg.  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! - Pavlin Z.

8. Client Testimonial I was involved in a motorcycle accident with a driver that was not paying attention.

Nationwide Network Beginnings Founder Russ Brown would frequently get calls from friends, fellow riders, former clients--and their friends and family members--in other states asking "What should I do? Who should I talk to?" These were people Russ cared about deeply who placed their trust in him and he took enormous care to find the very best. Often his own vast experience proved a valuable asset to assist local counsel. Over time, this grew to become what it is today: a comprehensive team extending to virtually every state in the country. We are the Real Deal and very proud of what we accomplish for the motorcycle community every day.

14. Protect Yourself - Insurance Motorcycle Insurance requirements vary from state to state so the best person to give you insurance advice is your insurance broker . Here are some insurance basics: Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist Coverage (UM/UIM) Do not place your ability to recover from an accident in someone else’s 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 Insurance Covers extensive damages as well as UM/UIM Get the best you can afford Additional Collision Coverage While 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.

18. BAM Testimonial I was introduced to BAM in 2008 at Thunder Beach in Panama City, Florida.  At first, I was skeptical.  Now, I believe everything the reps advised, and I believe that my information was not sold or given out.  I even advertise it on my North Florida Sportbike Riders Forum.  The BAM card is like the credit card I never leave home without.  Great Service. - Gixxer

19. BAM Testimonial I broke down on the way back from Daytona and it was in the middle of the night near Crestview, FL.  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 were rolling into the twilight zone.  I couldn't think of anyone to call because we were 1500 miles from home.  Then I remembered I had BAM and wow!  They got in touch with the most wonderful couple in the world who came to our aid like angels.  BIG THANKS TO BAM.  YOU PEOPLE ROCK! - Greg G.
