Motorcycle Accident 

They don't have the advantage of being surrounded by a steel frame, airbags, or other vehicle safety equipment when a motorcyclist is involved in a crash. Perhaps worse, insurance companies also stereotype bikers for being bikers, thinking no matter the case they were being reckless. No matter what the cause, a motorcyclist with years of experience may still be involved in a serious motorcycle accident while still obeying traffic laws, driving defensively and always keeping on guard.

But I Obeyed All the Laws

More than drivers of almost every other vehicle, motorcyclists must drive defensively. You can obey all the laws and still become a victim of a motorcycle accident, even if you were a defensive driver. If the other driver(s) involved in the crash were distracted, failed to see you, were intoxicated, or disobeying speed limits or other rules of the road, they’re likely to be liable for your injuries. Our experienced motorcycle accident attorney can help you seek the compensation you deserve.

Common Types of Motorcycle Accidents We See:

Head-on Collisions

A head-on collision is the most dangerous form of motorcycle accident anyone may get involved in. When all vehicles intercept each other head-on, the dynamics of these collisions means the greatest amount of force is applied on the vehicles and people involved. Usually, motorcyclists involved in these collisions do not survive the crash and those who do suffer the worst injuries which are often severe and crippling. This raises a case's stakes as these injuries need further coverage which means the insurance provider battles harder.


Left Turn Motorcycle Accidents

Cars will typically strike a motorcyclist at an intersection as they make a left turn. Typically, this is because they fail to understand the right of way for a motorcyclist as they attempt to make their way into the oncoming lane as they pass, which can cause an impact on the side of the bike. These left-turn accidents make up about 40% of all motorcycle accidents with the fault typically being the driver's, although a motorcyclist can be held partly responsible if at the time of the crash they violated a traffic rule.


Lane Switching Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycles can quickly fall into the blindspots of a larger vehicle when someone is attempting to turn lanes and a motorcycle is in their path, which leads to accidents. Motorcyclist's lack of visibility is one of the main contributors to occurring motorcycle accidents and those who fail to look out for motorcycles can be considered reckless and responsible for any injury they trigger.


Lane Splitting Motorcycle Accidents

Lane splitting with a motorcycle is illegal in the state of Florida, this is when a motorcyclist travels between the marked lanes to avoid traffic due to their smaller vehicle size. This does not inherently mean that anyone who splits lane will be excluded immediately from receiving compensation for a lawsuit following an accident like this but it certainly means that they will look for a reduced settlement based on their comparative negligence.
