Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

If you or a family member has been injured in a motorcycle accident, you need to consult with an experienced legal professional as soon as possible. Without proper representation, obtaining justice in court is challenging to say the least. Action Legal Group can put you in touch with a motorcycle accident lawyer who may be able to provide a solution to your problem and steer you along the road of recovery.

How Should I Contact An Attorney?

Once you decide you need a motorcycle accident attorney to represent you, family and friends may be the first place you turn for recommendations. Another option you have is using a lawyer referral service. No matter which path you decide to take, calling and speaking directly with a legal professional is the best course of action. In consulting with a lawyer, you can accomplish the following goals:

• Explain your legal issue in detail and learn if the attorney specializes in handling such cases.
• Identify the fees for an initial consultation (if any).
• Obtain quotes for retainers and full representation for your case.
• Get the lawyer's thoughts on your situation and the potential outcome they can deliver.

Consulting with a motorcycle accident lawyer gives you an opportunity to get to know the legal expert you're considering hiring for your case. After getting familiar with your situation, the attorney should be able to explain your rights, potential liabilities, and the strategy they plan to execute in representing you. This is your opportunity to learn what he or she can do and ultimately determine if they're the right lawyer for your situation.

Motorcycle Accident Claims

A motorcyclist injured in an accident is eligible to file a personal injury lawsuit against the party responsible for the crash. Unlike motorists, motorcycle operators in Florida are not covered by Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance. As a result, they are not required to meet PIP's injury threshold and can thus pursue financial compensation for the damages. However, the burden of proof falls on the shoulders of the motorcyclist, who must provide compelling evidence of the motorist's negligence.

Common Causes

Motorcycle accidents occur with alarming regularity and have a number of causes. Some of the most common causes include:

• Inability to see motorcyclist: Because they are considerably smaller than conventional passenger vehicles, motorcycles may wind up in the blind spots of other drivers, which can result in the rider being cut off and even struck by the motorist.
• Speeding and alcohol use: Statistics show that speeding and alcohol use account for nearly half of motorcycle accidents.
• Road hazards: Puddles, potholes, and oil slicks are some of the many road hazards that commonly cause motorcycle crashes.
• Weather elements: Fierce rain, hail, snow, wind, and other weather elements can result in limited visibility and dangerous driving conditions.
• Product defects: Defective motorcycle parts such as handlebars, tires, and accelerators can lead to serious accidents.

Motorcycle Accident Injuries

A motorcycle accident can lead to injuries that range from minor to severe. Due to the fact that motorcyclists have very little protection, victims may be left paralyzed or in a state of persistent vegetation. Some of the most common motorcycle accident injuries include:

• Road rash
• Bone fractures
• Brain trauma
• Spinal cord trauma
• Disfigurement
• Death
