What Causes Motorcycle Accidents?

Motorcycle accidents are often caused by the negligence of other motorists. Drivers simply don't see motorcyclists or underestimate their speed. When you are on a motorcycle, you are more exposed to the elements, and motorists are not used to looking for you.

Common causes of motorcycle accidents include:

• Drivers failing to yield the right of way
• Drivers changing lanes without checking first
• Drivers turning without checking first
• Drivers opening their car door into traffic
• Drivers turning right without looking for motorcycles

In many cases, the driver of a car or truck will be at fault for a motorcycle accident. Our attorneys know how to prove the negligence of the other party and how to help you get the compensation you need.

How Florida's Motorcycle Laws Can Help You

Florida has some of the most protective motorcycle laws in the country. If you were injured in a motorcycle accident, you may be able to use these laws to your advantage. In some cases, the driver of the car or truck will not be able to prove they were not at fault. This can help you get the compensation you need to get back on your feet.

In a motorcycle accident, you may be able to use Florida's laws to prove the driver of the car or truck was at fault:

• Motorists must drive at least two feet away from a motorcycle when passing
• Motorists must use caution when driving near motorcycles
• Motorists must yield the right of way to motorcycles

Motorcycle Accident Injuries

Motorcycle accidents often result in severe injuries. Motorcyclists are exposed to the elements and are not protected by a vehicle. In many cases, the injuries are severe enough to require extensive hospitalization and multiple surgeries.

Motorcycle accident injuries include:

• Broken bones
• Traumatic brain injury
• Spinal cord injury
• Internal organ damage
