Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
The majority (63%) of motorcycle crashes involve more than one vehicle. Although single-vehicle motorcycle accidents are usually the result of rider inexperience, weather, or defective motorcycles are motorcycle parts, multiple-vehicle accidents typically involve negligence.
The most common causes of motorcycle accidents we see at our firm include:
- Unsafe lane changes
- Improper turns
- Failure to yield
- Intersection accidents
- Speeding
- Tailgating
- Distracted driving
- Aggressive driving
- Driving under the influence
- And more
If someone else’s carelessness causes your motorcycle accident, you may be entitled to compensation.
Common Injuries in Motorcycle Accidents
In Florida, motorcyclists are legally required to wear a helmet unless they have special insurance. This is because traumatic brain injuries are some of the most common motorcycle injuries, and motorcyclists are 3 times more likely to suffer a TBI without a helmet.
Other common injuries in motorcycle accidents include:
- Road rash
- Cuts and bruises
- Broken bones
- Soft tissue injuries
- Internal bleeding and organ damage
- Lower-extremity (leg) injuries
- Amputation injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Death
In 2018, a total of 4,985 motorcyclists died in crashes. Even those who survived motorcycle accidents often suffered serious or life-changing injuries.
Who Is Liable?
Determining liability and proving negligence are the keys to winning your personal injury lawsuit after a motorcycle accident. You must show that the driver who caused your accident was behaving carelessly and that you were injured as a result of the accident.
If a driver accepts fault, their insurance company will be liable for paying all damages related to your accident that fall within policy limits.
How Our Attorneys Help
No one wants to deal with insurance companies after a serious accident, so our attorneys do it for you. We fight for your rights and help you achieve maximum compensation.
A successful lawsuit can help you account for:
- Medical bills
- Missed wages
- Pain and suffering
- Lost earning potential
- Changes to your quality of life
- And more
In wrongful death cases, damages can also help pay for funeral and burial costs, and some cases include punitive damages, as well. Also called exemplary damages, punitive damages are designed to punish and make an example of the wrongdoer to discourage similar behavior in the future.
