Orlando Attorneys Representing Motorcycle Accident Victims

Even if it isn’t fatal, a motorcycle accident may still be catastrophic and life-changing. If you are injured by a negligent driver while motorcycling in central Florida, arrange at once to meet with an Orlando motorcycle accident attorney at the Orlando Personal Injury Law Offices.

Like all injured victims of negligence in Florida, you may be entitled after a motorcycle accident to compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and more, but motorcycle accident victims face additional challenges when they seek compensation for their injuries.

Issues involving liability, insurance coverage, and medical treatment require serious consideration. You’ll need a good personal injury lawyer on your side, fighting for your rights.

For many years in the Orlando area, personal injury attorneys at the Orlando Personal Injury Law Offices have defended the rights of motorcycle accident victims. Our legal team will fight aggressively and effectively for the compensation you need and the justice every victim of negligence deserves.

What You Should Know About Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents usually leave less debris than car crashes, so there will be less physical evidence, and this makes it more difficult to determine the sequence of events in an accident.

Witnesses remember what happened from their own viewpoints and not from the victim’s. Police accident reports may have incomplete or inaccurate information.

If you’re motorcycling and you’re injured by a negligent driver – or if you are not sure who was at-fault – you will need sound legal advice from an attorney who will fight aggressively on your behalf.

What Are a Motorcyclist’s Legal Responsibilities?

Under Florida law, every motorcyclist and passenger under the age of 21 is required to wear a helmet. Riders who are 21 or older may ride a motorcycle without a helmet if they can prove that they carry a $10,000 medical insurance policy to cover injuries that may be the result of a crash.

Using a helmet (if you’re under 21) and having insurance are the legal requirements, but experienced motorcyclists also wear boots and leather or Kevlar gloves and jackets, If you can carry additional insurance coverage beyond the minimum requirement, do it.

Motorcyclists must know and obey Florida’s traffic laws, but they also need to drive defensively. Be aware of other drivers’ blind spots, watch for vehicles making blind turns out of alleys and parking lots, and wait at traffic signals until the crossing vehicles have come to a full stop.

How Do You Prevail With a Personal Injury Claim?

To prevail with a personal injury claim arising from a motorcycle accident, you and your attorney must prove first that the defendant (the driver who injured you) breached the duty to drive with reasonable care by driving negligently.

Next, you must prove that the defendant’s negligence was a direct cause of your personal injury or injuries. Finally, you must prove the extent of your injuries and ask for a specific compensation amount.
