Your Motorcycle Accident Attorney in Florida

Motorcycle rides are fun, but potential road risks may turn the experience into a devastating one. The accidents can be catastrophic, causing severe physical injuries, deep mental trauma, and surmountable financial losses to the riders as well as pilions. On a fortunate note, Florida law entitles the victims to fair compensation for their losses. If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, you don’t have to face the consequences alone. At Abercrombie, P.A., our expert attorneys are here to help you combat the legal battle followed by the accident and win the compensation you deserve.

Motorcycle accidents can cause serious injuries, affecting the overall quality of your life. Focusing on your health recovery and fighting for compensation at the same time becomes overwhelming for the victims and their families. The situation worsens when you have to pay for the damages you are not responsible for. Don’t pay for the damages caused by someone else’s negligence. Insurance companies always try to convince you with lowball offers. Don’t fall for the trap. At Abercrombie, P.A., we understand the challenges and intricacies of the litigation process and help accident victims receive maximum compensation, fighting against the obstacles. 

Reasons and Responsible Parties Behind Motorcycle Accidents in Florida 

One or more factors can cause motorcycle accidents. The reasons include,

• Drunken driving
• Distracted driving
• Speeding 
• Racing 
• Reckless driving 
• Driving while tired or drowsy
• Opening car doors without checking on the motorcycles coming from behind 
• Sudden and improper lane changes 
• Inexperienced driver 
• Failing signals and stoplights 

Not all the accidents occur due to the driver’s fault. There are other parties responsible for the accident, too. Other liable parties include, 

• Motorcycle parts manufacturer 

When the motorcycle involved in the accident has been designed, manufactured, and marketed with defective parts.

• The mechanic who has recently repaired the vehicle 

It may happen that a motorcycle accident occurred only due to the mechanic’s failure to repair the part or detect the actual issue with the vehicle. 

• Another motorcyclist 

The reason behind a motorcycle accident can be another motorcyclist who fails to obey the traffic rules and protect the other rider’s safety. 

• Governmental Authority 

When the Governmental authority fails to warn the road users about the hidden hazardous road conditions or immediately address a concern. In such cases, when a motorcycle is hit by an accident, no other party but the Government is to be held responsible.  Motorcycle accident attorneys at Abercrombie., P.A. conduct detailed investigations to determine the root cause of the accident and who the liable parties are. You may count on us to pursue compensation to secure compensation from every party who has been responsible for your losses. 

Precautions to Take After A Motorcycle Accident

• Take photographs of the accident scene and other motorcycles involved.
• Don’t sign any document without an attorney consultation.
• Don’t discuss any concerns linked to your injuries with the liable insurance company. 
• Seek immediate medical care.

Potential Settlement Worth of A Motorcycle Accident 

Florida witnesses a considerable number of motorcycle accidents every day. Motorcyclists are more exposed to road dangers than any other vehicle driver. Motorcycles provide limited protection and safety. When a motorcyclist experiences an accident, losses can be both – financial and non-financial. Damages you can recover compensation for include – 

• Physical pain and suffering 
• Mental trauma and anguish 
• Present and upcoming medical bills
• Loss of work and income
• Property damages 
• Loss of future earning capacity 
• Loss of limbs or physical disability
• Transportation expenses
• Childcare costs 

If you or anyone you love has been involved in a motorcycle accident, you can recover compensation for the damages or the wrongful death cases. The settlement worth in wrongful death cases includes funeral costs, loss of companionship, and others. 

Timeline to File A Motorcycle Accident Claim

According to Florida Statute § 95.11, you have 2 years to file a motorcycle accident claim from the date of the accident. Florida Statute of Limitations restricts you from taking legal action once your case deadline expires. The sooner you contact an experienced motorcycle accident attorney, the more time you have to collect the necessary evidence to prove the liable party’s fault. The more you delay, the more you will lose access to the crucial evidence.
