Motorcycle Accidents

A motorcycle accident claim allows injured riders to seek compensation when harmed in a crash due to another party’s negligence. Since motorcycles provide limited protection, these accidents often result in severe injuries, such as broken bones or spinal cord damage. In Florida, riders can pursue compensation for medical bills, lost wages, trauma, and affliction. Unlike car accidents, motorcycle accidents are not covered by Florida’s “no-fault” insurance laws, so riders are not required to carry personal injury protection (PIP) coverage.

Who Should File a Claim and Why Having an Attorney Is Essential

• Benefits of Filing: Filing a claim can help motorcycle accident victims cover extensive medical costs, lost wages, and ongoing care needs that are often necessary after a severe crash. Motorcycle riders, in particular, may face an uphill battle in obtaining fair compensation due to biases against riders in court and with insurance companies.
• Consequences Without Representation: Without an attorney, motorcycle accident victims may find themselves fighting against insurance companies that often try to shift blame onto riders or offer low settlements. Additionally, in Florida, you have a statute of limitations of four years from the date of the accident to file a claim. Missing this deadline can mean losing out on compensation entirely.
