Understanding Common Causes of Motorcycle Crashes in Florida

Florida motorcycle accidents can be caused by any number of things, to name a few:

  • When a car swerves in front of a cyclist
  • When a car fails to yield to a motorcyclist
  • When a car does not leave proper room between vehicles
  • Failure to recognize motorcyclists in traffic
  • Poor road conditions such as loose gravel, unmaintained roads, etc.
  • A faulty or defective motorcycle

Identifying Common Injuries from Motorcycle Accidents

Insurance complications can make the aftermath of a motorcycle accident a nightmare, which is why you need a compassionate and aggressive legal advocate in your corner. Our firm can help make your case as strong as possible by investigating everything from the other motorist's driving history and the accident scene to witness' statements and your medical records. We can even consult with experts and contact the insurance companies.

Motorcycle accidents can result in extremely serious injuries that include the following:

  • Bone fractures
  • Brain damage
  • Disfigurement
  • Loss of limbs
  • Neck injuries
  • Paralysis
  • Severe head trauma
  • Spinal cord injuries

If you have suffered any of the above injuries, you will most likely need extensive medical treatment and have a long road of recovery ahead (if full recovery is even a possibility). Our motorcycle accident lawyer in Orlando can help you obtain the financial compensation you need to cover your medical expenses and time off of work.

What Should You Do After a Motorcycle Accident?

If you were just in a motorcycle accident, there are a few steps you should take right away:

  • Get out of the flow of traffic and to safety
  • Make sure you keep any protective gear you’re wearing on
  • Call 911
  • If you are able to, collect information from any drivers involved in the accident and any witnesses
  • Get medical attention
  • Speak with a lawyer and your insurance provider

  • You are entitled to compensation for the following:

    • Past and future medical bills resulting from your injury
    • Past and future lost income
    • Pain and suffering. This classification of compensation refers to physical pain and emotional suffering. The compensation is based on how your injuries negatively impacted your ability to enjoy your hobbies and other “joys of life” like your job and your family. Usually, this is the largest financial component of a settlement or verdict.
    • Injuries resulting in permanent scarring, impairments, and/or other limitations.
  • In the case of an automobile or motorcycle accident, if the person who is at fault for an accident does not have insurance, then we do three things. First, we run an asset check on the at-fault party to see if he or she has assets that we could possibly seize to cover your damages.

    This requires us to file a lawsuit against the individual. Second, we look to see if the defendant's driver owns the vehicle. Sometimes the driver and owner are two different people.

    While the driver might not have insurance, the owner may be insured, especially if the vehicle is financed. Third, we do a complete assessment of the client's insurance coverages to see if this individual has Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage.

    If that is the case, then we look to the client's insurance coverage to compensate this individual for his or her injuries and damages. This should not cause the client's insurance to go up since he or she is not at fault for the accident.

  • There are five things you should do immediately after an accident. These include the following steps:

    1. Call 911 and report the accident. Regardless of the extent of the property damage and how you feel after the collision, you must call 911 and report the accident. If you do not call 911, the insurance company will use this against you when we negotiate the value of your claim.
    2. Exchange information with all other drivers involved in the accident. Be sure to get the other driver's tag number, license number, and insurance company information. Even if you are waiting for the police to arrive, you still need to start gathering this information. There are unfortunately many situations in which the at-fault driver flees the scene of the accident.
    3. Investigate. Seek out witnesses and take photos. Even if the other person admits fault, his or her story may change once you file a claim. Witnesses will not wait for the police to arrive, so you need to get their contact information right away. Also, scene and property damage photos can be critical in proving how the accident happened and the forces exerted on your body.
    4. Seek medical attention. Whether it is at the accident scene or at the hospital, later on, it is essential that you seek medical attention as soon as possible so you fully understand the extent of your injuries. This will also help you ensure that your injuries are well-documented. The insurance company will use any delay in medical treatment against you.
    5. Do not discuss your injuries with the insurance company. Report the facts of the accident (what happened) to your insurance company, but do not discuss your injuries. Because adrenaline is flowing through your body, you may not immediately feel the full extent of your injuries. Statements such as "I'm not injured" or "I'm OK" can and will be used against you by the insurance company.
  • Yes, but it will be difficult to do on your own. Consult an attorney to help you determine your options, especially if there were injuries involved.
    • Make sure your injuries are documented in medical records as soon as possible. The insurance company will deny your injury claim unless each injury is documented in hospital records on the date of the accident or within 24 hours of the injury.
    • See your primary care physician as soon as possible. Your doctor will document your injuries and prescribe a course of treatment, and the doctor’s chart notes will help us prove the extent of your injuries.
    • Contact a lawyer to help you prove fault (liability) and the extent of the injuries and harm that you experienced due to the accident. Lawyers should have the resources necessary to get the most value for your case. The sooner you contact a lawyer, the sooner you get to relax and heal while we do the work of getting the money you deserve.
