30+ Years of Motorcycle Accident Results

The value of your motorcycle crash claim depends on the amount of your damages. Damages include your past and future medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, property damage, and wrongful death damages in fatal motorcycle accidents.

Insurance adjusters often hold biases against motorcyclists, which can reduce settlement offers you receive. It’s imperative to hire an experienced motorcycle accident lawyer to properly build your case, assign liability to all potential defendants, and go to trial if needed.

Under Florida’s modified comparative negligence standard, you can still recover money even if you were partially at fault. However, if you’re found to be greater than 50% at fault for an accident, you are prohibited from receiving compensation for your damages in a motorcycle wreck claim.

PIP normally provides only $10,000 of benefits. You are entitled to as much uninsured motorist coverage as you have liability coverage. In other words, if you have $300,000 in liability coverage, you are entitled to purchase $300,000 in uninsured motorist coverage. Uninsured motorist coverage is vitally important if you are injured in a collision caused by a driver who has no coverage or insufficient limits. You might be surprised to find out how many drivers are uninsured or carry only $10,000 minimum coverage. If one of these persons causes a collision and causes injury to you or your family, your uninsured motorist coverage will take over where their coverage ends and will provide benefits not only for medical bills and wage loss but for your disability, pain, and loss of enjoyment of life.

Uninsured motorist coverage is very important. And not only should you have it but you have a right to have it. Your insurance company is required by law to provide it to you. Florida law requires that your insurance carrier provide you with limits of uninsured motorist coverage not less than the limits of bodily injury coverage that you purchased. The importance of this coverage is simply that there are many careless drivers operating automobiles without liability coverage or with only minimum coverage. In the event that you are a victim of a motor vehicle collision caused by an uninsured motorist, by having uninsured motorist coverage your insurance carrier will be responsible for compensation that you are entitled to recover but cannot be collected from the uninsured driver.

Your first priority after a motorcycle crash is medical treatment, even if you don’t immediately feel hurt. Some injuries, such as head injuries, don’t show symptoms for hours or even days. You then want to document the accident scene, file insurance claims, and retain a motorcycle accident attorney.
