Choosing the best chicken strips in New Mexico is no simple feat. Some people love the thickly battered chicken strips at Chili’s, which are crispy on the outside and spongy on the inside and which pair perfectly with honey mustard. Others prefer the breadcrumb-coated chicken strips from Wingstop, tossed in buffalo sauce and dipped in ranch dressing. Maybe you have your own family recipe for chicken strips that you share only with your closest friends; perhaps the marinade includes sour orange juice and cumin, and the dipping sauce is a cilantro-forward take on green goddess.
None of these chicken strips have any effect on your motorcycle accident claim unless the insurance company tries to say that you are suffering from chronic pain because of your poor diet, in which Wing Stop features prominently, as opposed to because of the motorcycle accident. The chicken strips on your motorcycle, however, can make a big difference. The best way to get an adequate settlement on your motorcycle accident claim, though, is to contact a Santa Fe medical malpractice lawyer.
The Perks of Being a Cautious Motorcyclist
The chicken strips on a motorcycle have nothing to do with food. “Chicken strips” is a motorcycle enthusiasts’ term for the parts in the middle of each motorcycle tire that does not show as much wear as the rest of the tire. In other words, the faster you drive on curves, the more surface area of the tires you use. The chicken strips are the parts of your tire that you are too chicken to wear out. You can tell a cautious motorcyclist, or a daring one for that matter, by the size of the chicken strips on his or her motorcycle tires. The bigger the chicken strips, the fewer risks you take. True daredevils have no chicken strips at all.
The most important thing to demonstrate in your motorcycle accident claim is that you were not doing anything risky at the time of the accident. The police report, photos from the scene of the accident, and statements you give to the insurance company can help you accomplish this. You can strengthen your claims by showing that you have a history of driving safely. The best evidence of this is the chicken strips on your tires. If your tires have narrow chicken strips or no chicken strips at all, then you will have a hard time arguing that you were being cautious at the time of the accident when risk-taking is your usual modus operandi. Of course, insurance companies will use anything as an excuse to pay you less, so if the only negative mark they can find against you is your chicken strips, you are in a pretty strong position.
