Florida has some of the most dangerous roads in the nation for motorcyclists. The statistics are sobering and show why you need experienced legal representation after a crash.

2024 Florida Motorcycle Statistics:

• 8,387 motorcycle accidents - occurring throughout the state
• 489 motorcycle fatalities - making 2024 another deadly year
• 578 total motorcycle deaths - Florida leads the nation for the third year in a row
• Over 7,000 injuries from motorcycle crashes

The Reality:

• Motorcyclists are 29 times more likely to die in crashes than car drivers
• Year-round riding weather means more accidents happen here than anywhere else

If you've been hurt, don't wait to get legal help.

Unlike car accidents, motorcycle crashes almost always result in serious injuries because:

✗ No protection - No steel frame, airbags, or crumple zones
✗ Hard to see - Other drivers often claim "I never saw the motorcycle"
✗ High impact - Riders are thrown from the bike in most crashes
✗ Road contact - Direct impact with pavement causes severe injuries

Even a "minor" motorcycle accident can change your life forever.

Common Types of Motorcycle Accidents

• Left-turn crashes - Car turns in front of oncoming motorcycle
• Lane change accidents - Driver doesn't check blind spots
• Intersection collisions - Running red lights or stop signs
• Rear-end crashes - Following too closely or distracted driving
• Door crashes - Parked car opens door into motorcycle's path
• Road hazard accidents - Potholes, debris, construction zones
• Hit-and-run crashes - Driver flees the scene

Serious Injuries We Handle

Motorcycle accidents often cause catastrophic, life-changing injuries:

• Traumatic brain injuries and concussions
• Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
• Multiple broken bones and fractures
• Road rash and severe scarring
• Internal organ damage
• Amputations
• Burns from bike fires or road contact
• PTSD and emotional trauma

These injuries require extensive medical treatment and long recovery times.

Other Drivers' Mistakes:

• "I didn't see the motorcycle" - Most common excuse
• Distracted driving - Texting, phone calls, eating
• Drunk or impaired driving
• Aggressive driving and road rage
• Failing to yield right-of-way
• Following too closely

Road Conditions:

• Poor road maintenance
• Construction zones without proper warning
• Weather conditions - Rain, wind, poor visibility
• Debris in roadway

Most motorcycle accidents are caused by other drivers, not the motorcyclist.

 Helmet Requirements:

• Under 21: Must wear DOT-approved helmet
• 21 and older: Can ride without helmet IF you have $10,000 in medical insurance
• Eye protection: Required for all riders

Important Note:

Even if you weren't wearing a helmet, you can still recover compensation if another driver caused the accident.

Who Pays for Your Injuries?

Unlike car accidents, motorcycle accidents usually exceed Florida's no-fault insurance limits, which means:

✓ You can sue the at-fault driver for full compensation
✓ Higher settlements are common due to severe injuries
✓ Multiple insurance policies may apply
✓ Your own insurance may also provide coverage

Don't let insurance companies minimize your claim.

After a motorcycle accident, you may be entitled to:

• Medical bills (current and future treatment)
• Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Motorcycle repairs or replacement
• Rehabilitation costs
• Permanent disability compensation
• Scarring and disfigurement damages

Serious motorcycle accident cases often result in six-figure or seven-figure settlements.

At the Scene:

1. Call 911 - Get medical help immediately
2. Don't move unless you're in danger
3. Document everything - Photos of scene, vehicles, injuries
4. Get witness information
5. Don't admit fault - Let police investigate

After the Scene:

1. Seek medical attention - Even if you feel "okay"
2. Contact a motorcycle accident attorney
3. Don't talk to insurance companies without a lawyer
4. Save all medical records and bills
5. Don't sign anything

Remember: Adrenaline can mask serious injuries. Always get checked by a doctor.

We know the difference between a cruiser and a sport bike, and we respect your passion for riding.

You pay nothing upfront. We only get paid when you get paid.

We fight back against insurance companies that try to blame motorcyclists.

Based in Delray Beach, we know South Florida roads and local courts.

You'll work directly with an attorney who cares about your case.

High-Risk Roads:

• A1A - Tourist traffic, unfamiliar drivers
• US-1 - Frequent intersections, stop-and-go traffic
• Palmetto Expressway - High speeds, congested lanes

High-Risk Times:

• Rush hours - 7-9 AM and 4-7 PM

• Tourist season - More unfamiliar drivers
• Bike Week events - Increased motorcycle traffic

Don't Let Bias Hurt Your Case

Unfortunately, many people have negative attitudes toward motorcyclists. Insurance companies and juries sometimes assume:

✗ Motorcyclists are "reckless"
✗ "If you ride, you accept the risk"
✗ Speed was automatically a factor

We fight these unfair stereotypes and prove the other driver was at fault.

You have limited time to file a claim:

• Personal injury: 4 years in Florida
• Wrongful death: 2 years
• Insurance claims: Often much shorter deadlines

Important evidence disappears quickly:

• Surveillance video gets deleted
• Witness memories fade
• Physical evidence is cleaned up
• Insurance companies start building their defense
