A motorcycle accident can result in serious and life-threatening injuries. At Delgado Trial Attorneys, we have been fighting for the rights of motorcycle accident victims and their families for over a combined 50 years. We understand Florida’s motorcycle accident laws and how to navigate the accident claims process to obtain the best results for our clients.
For motorcyclists, even a minor accident can be catastrophic. Motorcyclists sustain serious injuries more than 35 times as often as the driver of a full-sized vehicle. For every mile traveled, motorcyclists are 27 times more likely to die in a motor vehicle crash, and 5 times more likely to have injuries related to the crash. In fact, according to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, 2020 saw 8,043 motorcycle accidents across the state with 551 fatalities notwithstanding the COVID-19 pandemic.
Florida law provides sources of insurance coverage for motorcycle accident victims in several distinct ways. The negligent party will usually, but not always, carry bodily injury insurance in an amount ranging from $10,000 per person on the low end to over a million dollars on the high end. They also may carry what is known as an “umbrella” policy which is a supplemental, secondary source of coverage.
In addition, many Florida drivers, including motorcyclists, carry insurance for Uninsured Motorists and Underinsured Motorists due to the high number of Florida drivers that lack adequate coverage. Florida’s legislature has implemented a framework that provides for these benefits for all motorists insured under Florida’s financial responsibility laws unless they have expressly rejected the coverage in writing. Consequentially, many Florida drivers have coverage for accidents involving Uninsured/Underinsured Motorists available under their own personal policies and don’t even know it.
Motorcycle accidents can cost thousands of dollars in repairs, medical bills, lost wages, and emotional pain and suffering. If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, you may have a claim for the following types of damages:
Unlike other passenger vehicles on the road, a motorcycle does little to protect those riding it. Catastrophic injuries are common in motorcycle accidents. These injuries can include:
