Lawyers Protecting the Rights of Motorcycle Accident Victims
Accidents involving motorcycles are different from other types of vehicle crashes. Motorcyclists don’t have the same Florida no-fault insurance requirements as other vehicles. However, there are other insurance requirements that apply.
Motorcyclists have the right to expect that other drivers will exercise reasonable care and caution. If a motorcyclist is hurt because of another driver’s negligence, they may receive financial compensation. There are also other parties who may be liable to pay damages.
Our lawyers are dedicated to protecting your rights. We are an experienced legal team with a practice devoted to helping victims and families. We invite you to start your case today or learn more at a consultation with our legal team.
A motorcycle accident is a unique type of motor vehicle crash. An attorney who handles a motorcycle accident claim should have experience in complex injury claims and understand the issues that are especially important to bikers.

Compensation for Motorcycle Accident Injuries
You may receive compensation for economic losses related to physical injury and property damage. Compensation may also include non-economic losses like pain and suffering, disfigurement, and loss of lifestyle.
Do I have a motorcycle accident claim?
Having a motorcycle accident claim is based on someone else being at fault for the accident. Common causes of motorcycle accidents are:
- Failing to leave sufficient room for a motorcyclist
- Not allowing them full use of the lane
- Turning without looking for other traffic, including a motorcyclist
- Ignoring right-of-way rules
- Speeding and reckless driving, driving too fast for conditions
- Sudden stops, texting while driving, inattention
- Driver fatigue and driving while tired
- Alcohol use, drug use, drunk, and drugged driving
- Vehicle defects and manufacturing errors
Don’t assume that you are at fault for a motorcycle accident. The insurance company may try to convince you that you’re to blame. Talk to our lawyers about your case specifics. We thoroughly investigate the causes and who may have legal liability.
How much compensation will I get for a motorcycle accident?
Compensation for a motorcycle accident includes both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages are financial losses, while non-economic damages are the intangible ways that you suffer because of a motor vehicle accident.
Each case depends on the circumstances, including legal fault, the extent of damages, and the ability to collect compensation. At your consultation, we can review what your case may be worth and the steps involved in claiming compensation.
What types of compensation do I qualify to receive?
Compensation you may qualify to receive includes:
- Medical bills, both current and future
- Hospitalization and nursing care
- Prescription costs
- Mobility devices
- Lost income, benefits, and future pay
- Damage to your bike and riding gear
- Loss of bodily function and permanent disfigurement
- Mental anguish
- Emotional suffering
- Changes in lifestyle
- Stress
- Punitive damages (rare)
Compensation is based on actual losses, both financial and personal. Our lawyers work to prove what the claim is truly worth.
