Personal Injury

Motorcycle Accidents

In Florida, the number of motorcycle crashes has more than doubled since the mid 1990’s and, more alarmingly, the number of deaths has tripled. This is a frightening trend especially since the number of registered Florida motorcyclists increases each year.

Nationwide, the facts are just as disturbing. Of the 2 ½ million people injured in vehicle crashes, 4% are motorcyclists, and motorcycle injuries cost $12 billion dollars a year, according to the CDC.

The cost of motorcycle injuries are high because of:

• The severity of the victim’s injuries
• The large number of Traumatic Brain Injuries that occur when the victims are not wearing helmets
• The length of an accident victim’s hospital stay and recovery time

Obviously, recovering from a motorcycle accident can be both painful and a huge financial burden.

Why You Need a Lawyer

The heartbreak of a motorcyclist’s death or injury is all the harder to bear when the accident is caused by negligence, a product defect, or another motorist. In times like this, you should take action and get legal advice.

You need to do this as quickly as possible after the accident. Evidence needs to be preserved, medical procedures reviewed, and physicians and other experts consulted to evaluate the injuries and the accident.
