Our Motorcycle Accident Lawyers in Florida Protect People Like You

Under Florida law, you generally have the right to seek compensation for your injuries for up to two years following a negligence-related accident, according to Florida Statutes § 95.11. To file a strong case within that timeline, it is a good idea to turn to our Florida motorcycle accident lawyers for assistance.

Rosenberg & Rosenberg is one of the larger firms in the Florida area, so we have the resources—including an entire team of attorneys—to handle your case with integrity and vigor. Here is what we do for injured people like you:

Investigating Your Motorcycle Accident Case

You need to show proof that the liable party’s negligence caused your collision, and that this collision is the cause of your present losses and pain. Our motorcycle accident attorneys know how to collect evidence from a variety of sources in a timely manner. That includes:

• Requesting a copy of the official accident report from the Florida Police Department
• Requesting a copy of your medical records
• Visiting the accident scene
• Collecting testimony from everyone who was involved in or witnessed the event

Standing Up to the Accident Insurance Company

Unfortunately, motorcycle riders are sometimes unfairly blamed for collisions. The insurance company may use this fact to try to deny you compensation. They might be more willing to cooperate with your case if they see that an established firm like Rosenberg & Rosenberg is on your side. We can protect your rights by:

• Evaluating any settlement offers the insurer makes
• Speaking and negotiating with the insurer on your behalf
• Fighting back against any counterclaims, such as the accusation that you yourself were negligent
• Representing you in the courtroom, if that becomes necessary

Our legal team understands that this is one of the most difficult and uncertain periods in your life. As our client testimonials indicate, we provide you with the support you deserve by:

• Handling your case with compassion and dedication

Motorcyclists Often Suffer Long-Lasting Injuries in Florida Crashes

Motorcyclists have very little protection in an accident. Even when they are wearing protective boots, pants, jackets, and helmets, there is practically nothing to cushion the impact between them, the vehicle, and the road. Our Florida catastrophic injury lawyers have helped clients who suffered:

• Broken bones
• Neck and back injuries
• Severe road rash
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Spinal cord injuries

These damages can have a lasting impact on the victim’s life, and you should be compensated fully by the negligent party responsible for the accident. Our motorcycle accident attorneys in Florida fight hard to make that happen.

Damages You Could Claim After a Florida Motorcycle Crash

You can fight for the compensation you deserve with the help of the injury attorneys at Rosenberg & Rosenberg. Settlements and jury awards often include money for:

• Medical costs
• Travel costs related to receiving medical care
• Property damage, especially damage to your bike
• Loss of wages
• Loss of earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Reduced quality of life
• Disability
• Loss of consortium

How Damaging Are Bike Accidents in Florida?

Florda Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) reports that, in 2023, there were 761 motorcycle crashes in Broward County. These accidents resulted in 628 injuries.

As these numbers show, if you are involved in a bike crash in Broward County, the odds of your being injured are quite high. Rosenberg & Rosenberg can help you seek the money you need to support yourself and your family after such an injury.

Common Questions About Florida Motorcycle Accidents

Our personal injury attorneys recognize that most people in Florida are unfamiliar with the law as it applies to traffic accidents. It is hard to take advantage of your rights in this situation if you do not understand what those rights are.

Injured motorcycle riders are always welcome to contact our law firm for answers to questions like the following:

What Should You Do If You Are Involved in a Motorcycle Crash?

Always prioritize your health and safety after crash. This could mean getting out of the flow of traffic and going to the hospital to receive medical care for severe injuries. Once you are safe, you can think about building a case by:

• Taking notes about who, what, when, and where your accident occurred
• Obtaining the names and phone numbers of witnesses
• Recording all information about the other driver (license plate number, insurance information, contact information, etc.)
• Keeping track of all medical providers that you visited for treatment

How Long Do You Have to File a Motorcycle Accident Claim?

In Florida, accident victims usually have two years to file a claim. However, the time period may vary depending on the circumstances surrounding the accident, such as:

• The plaintiff’s age
• The type of claim
• The particular facts giving rise to the injury
• The time the injury is discovered
• The at-fault party’s identity

You must be certain of the deadline that applies to your case, also known as the statute of limitations, or you risk jeopardizing your right to compensation. Our motorcycle crash attorneys in Florida can examine your situation and tell you which deadline applies to your case.

Who Is Responsible for Your Motorcycle Accident Damages?

Often, it is another driver who causes a bike crash by failing to pay attention or disobeying the rules of the road. Other responsible parties may include businesses that overserved alcohol to a driver, auto manufacturers that produced defective auto parts, government organizations responsible for roadway defects, and mechanics who performed substandard repairs.

It is not always obvious right away who caused your crash. In some cases, there may be multiple negligent parties for you to confront. Rosenberg & Rosenberg carefully investigates every single client’s case so we can tell them exactly who they should hold responsible.

What Is the Average Settlement for Motorcycle Accident Cases?

It is very difficult to figure out an average settlement amount because every client’s settlement is specific to their situation. Rather than looking at what other people have recovered to determine your own payout, our bike crash attorneys can review the evidence and come up with an amount that:

• Will reimburse you for past losses and suffering
• Compensates you for the losses you continue to endure today, such as lingering injury symptoms and the cost of ongoing medical treatment
• Allows you to continue to support yourself and your family into the future, if you suffered permanent or chronic injuries that will impact your life for years to come

Will You Have to Go to Court to Secure Personal Injury Compensation?

Not necessarily. This is a big misconception about personal injury cases. Many people think that you need to sue someone to get a settlement in a motorcycle accident case. In many cases, however, our Florida lawyers are able to get a settlement without filing an actual lawsuit.

A pretrial settlement may result in greater net recovery because you will avoid the costs and delays of a trial. It is only necessary to go to trial if the insurance company refuses to negotiate or to offer fair compensation, in which case our accident injury law firm can present your case to a judge and jury.
