Thousands of motorcyclists are injured yearly in accidents caused by negligent drivers. Following all traffic laws helps decrease your chance of a wreck, but if you are in one, Dannheisser Injury Law is the first call you should make after receiving stabilizing medical care. Evidence disappears quickly, and you need competent representation from our diligent motorcycle accident attorneys.
The choice to wear motorcycle helmets has interested state legislatures for years because one group finds them repressive and another crucial. Florida requires motorcyclists to wear Department of Transportation-approved protective helmets, with goggles or face shields, although riders 21 or older can forego helmets if they carry medical insurance of at least $10,000.
The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that motorcycle helmets reduce fatalities by 42 percent and catastrophic injuries by 69 percent. Whether riders are wearing helmets or not, the team at Dannheisser Injury Law helps them when they are involved in accidents and need tenacious representation. Our attorneys are dedicated to recovering the total value of clients’ injuries, damages, and lawsuits.
Since the 1970s, the injured motorist, pedestrian, bicyclist, or motorcyclist could still win compensation if they were partially at fault for the accident, even as much as 99 percent at fault under the pure comparative negligence doctrine. Under the modified comparative negligence doctrine for traffic laws, the Sarasota motorcyclist cannot be more than 50 percent to blame for collecting an award. Under both doctrines, the compensation awarded is reduced by the motorcyclist’s percentage of fault.
We want to use our decades of successful litigation experience to help you. Call Dannheisser Injury Law now to schedule a consultation to discuss your case.
