Our High Springs Motorcycle Accident Lawyers Know How These Claims Work

Motorcyclists frequently suffer serious injuries in collisions. In 2023, the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) reported 133 accidents involving motorcyclists in Alachua County. These collisions led to 108 injuries and 16 deaths.

Motorcycle accidents differ from High Springs car accidents in several ways. One major way is how injured parties recover compensation for their injuries and losses. Motorcyclists do not carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance. This means they cannot file a no-fault claim to cover their medical care and lost income after a crash. Instead, they must rely on other options for recovering the money they need. 

All the options for motorcyclists typically require proving fault and holding the liable party legally responsible. These options could include: 

• The at-fault driver’s liability insurance, if they carry this type of policy
• The rider’s Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) coverage if the at-fault driver lacks liability insurance
• A personal injury lawsuit filed against the at-fault driver in civil court

Our team can assess your options and help you understand the possible ways to pursue a payout in your case. We represent motorcyclists in even the most complex and challenging cases, fighting for the money they need to pay for their current and future care and support. We understand how much recovering fair compensation means to you after a High Springs, FL, motorcycle collision, so it matters to us.

Our High Springs Injury Lawyers Build Compelling Motorcycle Accident Cases to Recover Compensation

Most Florida motorcycle accidents occur because of negligence. One party acts carelessly or recklessly, violates traffic laws, and this leads to a collision. Lacking safety features such as seatbelts and airbags, the motorcyclist is often ejected from their bike and suffers injuries when they hit the road surface or other objects. 

To hold another driver accountable for causing a motorcycle accident, we must have strong evidence that establishes their negligence caused the crash. 

We must prove four elements of negligence: 

• Duty of Care: Drivers owe motorcyclists a duty to follow traffic laws, such as yielding to oncoming traffic before turning left.
• Breach of Duty: The at-fault driver breached their duty.
• Causation: The other party’s breach of duty caused the collision.
• Harm: You suffered physical, emotional, and/or financial harm.

Investigating a High Springs Motorcycle Accident

To build strong support for our client’s claim, our High Springs motorcycle wreck lawyers investigate what caused the accident, identify the liable party, and gather evidence to convince the insurer or jury to pay appropriate compensation for the resulting injuries and damages.

Each case is different and has its own evidence, but some of the most common we collect to document a crash and liability include: 

• Photographs and videos after the accident
• Dashcam or surveillance footage from the scene
• Debris and physical evidence
• Police report from the High Springs Police Department
• Witness statements
• Relevant medical records
• Expert medical testimony
• Other expert witnesses
• Documentation of damages

How We Recover Compensation in a High Springs Motorcycle Crash

Once we have a strong case, we can negotiate or litigate to recover fair compensation. Many cases settle without needing a lawsuit or litigation. However, we only have two years to file a lawsuit under Fla. Stat. § 95.11. We must take legal action before this deadline arrives to protect your right to sue.
