Motorcycle Accidents

In the event of an accident, motorcycle drivers and passengers face far more risk than those in cars and trucks. Motorcycle accidents end in severe injury or death more often than automobile accidents. According to a 2007 report released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) , motorcycle accidents contributed to over 5,000 deaths and over 100,000 injuries in the United States. There are a number of factors that contribute to devastating Florida motorcycle accidents. Weather conditions, such as wind and rain, make it more likely for someone on a motorbike to wipe out given the slippery and possibly poorly maintained roads. By virtue of being smaller, motorcycles are more difficult to see among other traffic, especially by drunk or distracted drivers.

When motorcyclists are involved in an accident with a car or truck, their injuries can be serious and catastrophic. Motorcyclists are often treated for horrible injuries to their head, neck and spinal cord. These traumatic injuries can result in permanent disabilities or even death. Injured motorcycle drivers and passengers typically incur expenses related to the accident such as medical treatment, rehabilitation, medication, or lost income due to their inability to work. They may also lose the ability to perform various activities of normal daily living, in both the short and long term, and may endure pain and suffering as a result of the accident. Motorcycle accident victims may be entitled to compensation for these expenses under their own insurance policy, or that of the negligent driver or their insurance company.

If you have been in a motorcycle accident, it is vital that you do not talk to any insurance investigator, sign any papers, or accept a settlement before talking to a motorcycle accident lawyer. Many injuries caused by motorcycle accidents have long-term consequences that simply are not accounted for by insurance companies. Insurance companies have a team of adjusters, investigators and attorneys whose goal is to minimize the amount of money they pay to accident victims.

Personal injuries sustained as the result of a motorcycle accident differ from those of the victim of a car crash. Traffic regulations also have special rules for motorcyclists, which can affect liability and damage recovery for both drivers and passengers. Therefore, it is important for you to seek the advice of a lawyer with experience in motorcycle accident claims in order to protect your right to fair compensation.
