Hey There Biker! It’s your girl Maria and I am back to talk about Motorcycle Accidents here in Jacksonville.
If you’re a motorcycle rider in Jacksonville, chances are you’ve had close calls or even a crash. At The Law Offices of Ron Sholes, P.A., we meet with riders every week who’ve been hit, injured, or left wondering what to do next. And honestly, we understand because we ride too.
The truth is, it’s usually not your fault. One of the first things riders tell us after a crash is, “I didn’t even see it coming.” Cars turn left without looking, change lanes without checking blind spots, and somehow, the motorcyclist gets blamed. Sound familiar?
We see it all the time, and the frustrating part is that insurance companies love to point fingers at the biker. That’s not just unfair; it’s dangerous. That’s why having a law firm that truly understands motorcycle accidents matters.
Here’s what most people don’t realize: after a crash, you’re probably shaken up, maybe in pain, and unsure whether you even want to file a claim. But here’s the thing: the costs stack up fast. Hospital bills, missed work, bike repairs — they add up before you know it.
And if you’re thinking the insurance company is going to “do the right thing,” think again. Their job is to pay as little as possible. Ours? To fight like hell so you get everything you’re owed. Whether you need a motorcycle accident lawyer or even a personal injury lawyer for a broader claim, we’ve got your back.
So, what should you do?
We always say this: if you’re in a motorcycle accident, call our motorcycle accident attorneys before you talk to anyone else, especially the other driver’s insurance. Just a few wrong words can hurt your claim.
In the meantime:
- Get checked out (even if you think you’re okay)
- Snap some pictures of your bike and the scene if you can
- Keep track of medical bills and any lost wages
- Save your helmet, riding gear — it can be important evidence
We’re not just lawyers; we’re local bikers too. Our team at Ron Sholes isn’t some out-of-town firm that doesn’t get what it’s like to ride in Florida. We live here, we ride here, and we fight here — for people just like you.
Whether you’re looking for a motor vehicle accident lawyer or experienced personal injury attorneys who ride and understand your case, we offer free consultations, and we don’t charge a dime unless we win your case. So if something’s happened and you’re not sure where to turn, start with a conversation. No pressure, just real talk.
