Motorcycle Injury Attorneys and NAMIL — What It Is and Why You Should Care
By: Matt Andrew
Many motorcycle injury attorneys join membership groups by paying an annual fee and adding a logo to their website. This post explains why Skaug Law’s NAMIL membership is different and why it matters to riders. After a crash, riders often face insurance pushback—knowing your rights matters.
What NAMIL Membership Means
Skaug Law states that being a Founding Member of the National Academy of Motorcycle Injury Lawyers (NAMIL) is taken seriously and reflects commitment to helping riders and protecting motorcyclists’ rights.
The post also claims the firm is the only law firm in Idaho that are members of this organization, and that membership helps them stay current on best practices to protect riders’ rights and pursue fair compensation after a motorcycle accident.
NAMIL membership requires an extensive screening process and is only open to experienced lawyers who care about helping bikers.
Standards and expectations described in the post
- Competency: Members must show competency in motorcycle injury law based on standards set by NAMIL’s board.
- Experience: Members must show substantial experience and ability to handle complex motorcycle injury claims.
- Peer recognition: Members must be recognized by peers as a top-rated motorcycle accident law firm in this field.
- Involvement: Members must show substantial involvement in motorcycle injury law and support improving practice standards and rider protections.
Supporting Idaho Motorcycle Groups and Safety Organizations
The post states that NAMIL membership also means actively supporting Idaho motorcycle groups and safety organizations. It also mentions that members meet several times a year for training and discussion, and participate in regular calls to exchange ideas with other motorcycle attorneys.
It mentions a group meeting in Milwaukee that included visiting the Harley-Davidson museum and factory.
The post also describes sponsoring a motorcycle accident scene management course taught by Road Guardians, and notes that this training helps people know how to help a rider in the first 10–60 minutes before an ambulance arrives. It states that Bruce took the course and is certified in the Road Guardians Bystander Assistance Program.
Handling Insurance Pushback After a Motorcycle Wreck
The post notes that after a motorcycle crash, opposing attorneys may attack the rider by alleging speeding or unsafe maneuvers. It also states that insurance companies may start with a low settlement and resist increases.
Skaug Law states that its Idaho motorcycle lawyers help push back when insurance companies try to pressure injured riders.
“We help you hold the insurance company accountable. Our goal is to win the maximum amount of compensation for your injuries and damages.”
Why timing matters
- You often only have one real shot at getting it right.
- Once you accept a settlement and sign a release, it’s typically over.
- You may not get another chance at a better outcome or more money.
- Talking to a motorcycle lawyer from Skaug Law is free, per the post.
- The post states the firm will be direct and give practical answers about your options.
