How to Recover Compensation After a Florida Motorcycle Accident

Motorcycle riders are exempt from Florida’s no-fault insurance system because, according to Florida Statutes § 627.732, it only applies to four-wheeled vehicles. Therefore, motorcyclists do not have to carry personal protection (PIP) insurance. It also means that injured bikers do not have to exhaust their first-party insurance or meet an injury threshold before they can seek compensation from a liable driver.

However, there is a helmet exception. Florida Statute § 316.211 states that motorcyclists aged 21 and over can ride without a helmet but must have at least $10,000 in medical benefits insurance.

Our Aventura motorcycle accident attorneys can seek a settlement from your insurance company if you have coverage that applies. We can also fight for compensation from an at-fault party via a claim against their auto liability insurance or with a personal injury lawsuit if necessary. Let us do the work while you focus on recovering from the crash.

Our Aventura Motorcycle Accident Lawyers Will Fight for the Maximum Settlement or Verdict

Securing full and fair compensation can provide you with a measure of justice and give you the financial resources you need for your medical care and daily expenses. We will work tirelessly to secure every cent owed to you and your family. In general, our motorcycle collision attorneys serving Aventura can seek awards for the following:

• Healthcare expenses – We will fight to ensure your settlement covers both your current medical bills and ongoing care needs. We will seek to recover fees for doctors, hospitals, and medical procedures, payment for rehabilitation and physical therapy, and the cost of medications, medical devices, nursing, and attendant care.
• Lost income – We can pursue wages, earnings, and benefits from missed work. If you have a permanent or disabling injury that prevents you from returning to your job, we can also seek compensation for lost earning capacity.
• Pain and suffering – These damages compensate for intangible losses, including scarring, disfigurement, chronic and severe physical pain, depression, stress, anxiety, and diminished quality of life.
• Wrongful death – Our Aventura wrongful death lawyers can seek damages on behalf of a fatally injured loved one. Compensation may include medical costs, burial and funeral costs, loss of your family member’s service, support, and financial contributions, and survivors’ suffering.

How We Build Your Motorcycle Accident Case

To prove that a liable party acted negligently and owes you damages, we must establish the following:

• Duty of care – In most situations, we all have a legal obligation to act reasonably and avoid harming others. When driving, motorists have a duty of care to obey traffic laws and operate their vehicles safely.
• Breach of duty – A breach of duty occurs when someone behaves in a way most others would not find reasonable, does not act when necessary, or breaks the law.
• Causation – Causation demonstrates how the liable party’s negligent actions led to your motorcycle accident and resulting injury.
• Damages – Damages prove that your injury led to tangible and intangible losses that entitle you to financial compensation.

To build your case, our Aventura lawyers will conduct an investigation and collect evidence, which may include medical records, the accident report from the Aventura Police Department, eyewitness statements, photographs, video, and expert testimony. We will also demonstrate your losses using receipts, invoices, bills, wage records, and estimates.

How Negligence Causes Motorcycle Accidents

Negligent driving behaviors that can lead to motorcycle accidents include:

• Making improper turns
• Failing to yield
• Passing illegally or too closely
• Failing to maintain lane position
• Failing to stop at a stoplight or stop sign
• Speeding
• Driving while distracted
• Driving recklessly or aggressively
• Driving while drunk or under the influence of drugs

What Can You Do to Help With Your Motorcycle Injury Claim?

Our Aventura motorcycle accident attorney will handle your case while you rest and recover, but there are some simple things you can do to help:

• Get medical treatment – If you did not receive emergency treatment at the accident scene, you should see a healthcare provider about your injuries immediately. Seeing a doctor safeguards your health and generates a medical record you will need for your claim.
• Follow your doctor’s orders – If you fail to follow your treatment plan, miss appointments, or participate in activities that can worsen your injuries, it may give the insurance company a reason to reduce or deny your claim.
• Report the crash – Florida law requires reporting of all motor vehicle accidents involving injuries or death. If you or someone else did not call an officer to the scene, you will need to contact the Aventura Police Department.
• Do not post about your motorcycle online – Avoid posting about your motorcycle accident or injuries on social media. Doing so could unintentionally supply opposing parties with information they could use against you. In general, it is a good idea not to discuss the details of your claim with anyone other than your lawyer.
• Get legal advice – Consider contacting our Aventura injury lawyers. Engaging an attorney from the outset of your case can provide you with an advocate and ally who will protect your rights and fight for you. It can also help you avoid common mistakes and pitfalls that could reduce or delay your compensation.

When Should You Get Started?

You should notify the involved insurance companies about your accident as soon as possible. Policy deadlines can be short, and you do not want to miss your window to file a claim.

If we must take legal action to secure the motorcycle accident compensation you deserve, we will not back down from going to court. There is a two-year statute of limitations for filing a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit, according to Florida Statutes § 95.11.
