Motorcycle Accident Attorneys in Florida

At MLG Injury Law – Accident Injury Attorneys, our motorcycle accident lawyers in Florida understand that while there are more than 591,000 motorcycles registered in Florida, passenger vehicle drivers rarely give the riders the respect they deserve on our roadways.

All motorcyclists have the same rights to the road as other motorists, but they are often edged out of their lanes or challenged by much larger vehicles, which can lead to serious accidents and catastrophic injuries to the rider.

According to the Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, there were 9,143 motorcycle crashes on our roadways last year, which caused nearly 5,700 injuries — almost 2,100 of which were catastrophically life-changing — and 531 deaths.

Our Florida motorcycle accident attorneys help riders hold the negligent drivers who caused their collisions, injuries, and loved one’s deaths liable for their financial recovery, so they can pursue the best outcome available for their unique circumstances.

What are the Most Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in Florida?

There is nothing ordinary about being thrown from a motorcycle after being hit by a distracted driver, but it happens thousands of times a year in Florida.

Distracted driving is one of the leading causes of traffic accidents in the United States, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Unfortunately, it is almost always the motorcyclist who is on the losing end of these collisions, which can have life-changing consequences, simply because a driver wanted to check their text messages while behind the wheel.

Other common causes of motorcycle accidents in Florida that can leave the rider with catastrophic injuries may include:

• Drivers making left turns in front of a motorcyclist
• Speeding
• Drivers under the influence of alcohol or drugs
• Aggressive and reckless driving
• Unsafe lane changes
• Drivers who disobey traffic signs and signals
• Opening car doors without checking their surroundings
• Reversing a vehicle without looking
• Motorcycle defects
• Dangerous road conditions

What are the Most Common Injuries Associated with Motorcycle Accidents in Florida?

Our Florida helmet laws state if a motorcyclist has an insurance policy of a minimum of$10,000 in medical benefits and are over the age of 21, he or she may operate a motorcycle without a helmet.

Conversely, according to the Centers for Disease Control, the lifetime costs of a traumatic brain injury — which is often the result of a motorcycle collision where the rider is not wearing a helmet — can easily reach millions of dollars, depending on the injured person’s unique and long-term needs.

Even when a rider is wearing protective headgear, motorcycle accident injuries can be life-changing, and may include:

• Broken bones
• Burn injuries
• Facial fractures
• Muscle, ligament, and tendon tears
• Injuries to extremities, including hands, arms, feet, knees, and legs
• Internal bleeding
• Organ damage
• Loss of limbs
• Neck and spine injuries
• Paralysis
• Road rash that requires skin grafting
• Scarring and disfigurement
• Wrongful death
