Motorcycle Accident Attorney In North Miami Beach, FL

When you are on your motorcycle, you know there are risks. Motorcyclists do not have the same kind of protections that passenger vehicle drivers do. No metal frame, no airbags.

When a two-thousand-pound vehicle slams into a motorcycle, the cyclist is hit twice – once by the vehicle and once by the ground. That is double the chance of injury.

• Road rash
• Bruises
• Lacerations
• Internal organ damage
• Spinal cord injury
• Brain injury

All of these are possibilities and some of those injuries can sideline you for a long time. If your injury requires surgery or long-term rehabilitation, you may not be able to work. You may even end up with a long-term disability, permanently altering your lifestyle.

Careless Drivers

Drivers who are impaired by drugs are alcohol pose the biggest threat to motorcyclists. Also, drivers who are distracted by their phones and other devices tend to take their eyes off the road. This can be deadly to motorcycle riders.

During the latest reporting year, 2016, Florida saw more than 10,000 motorcycle accidents. Out of those accidents, 515 people died and over 8,000 were injured. Looking at those numbers, it seems that most motorcycle crashes involved an injury or wrongful death.

We know that is scary for you.

In the aftermath of a motorcycle crash, insurance companies will contact you and try to settle quickly. Do not speak with them if you suspect gross negligence on the other driver’s part. You may be eligible for more than what the insurance companies initially offer. You will need compensation for the following:

• Vehicle damages
• Medical expenses (current and long-term)
• Lost income if you have to miss work
• Pain and suffering damages
• Punitive damages against the other driver

You can’t do this without the right legal team backing you up.
