Our Melrose Motorcycle Accident Attorneys Fight for Fair Compensation

Motorcycle accident injuries can include road rash, fractures, dental damage, spinal cord injuries, internal organ damage, amputations, burns, and traumatic brain injuries.

In addition to the physical pain of these injuries, many also have long-lasting effects on your life. Spinal cord injuries may lead to paralysis; road rash can lead to scarring and disfiguration;; and traumatic brain injuries may affect your cognitive and motor functions.

Recovering fair compensation means addressing both your current needs due to your injuries as well as those you can expect to face in the future. Our motorcycle accident attorneys will examine the full scope of your losses to advocate for you to receive compensation that meets your needs.

Recoverable losses may include:

• Medical expenses, both current and in the future, such as for surgeries and doctor appointments
• Property damage
• Lost wages
• Diminished earning capacity
• Home modifications
• Mobility aids
• Long-term care needs
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Loss of quality of life

We know that financial compensation cannot account for everything you’ve lost, but it can help you take care of your medical needs and regain financial stability. Contact Meldon Law today to get started on your case right away.

How Negligence Is Proven in Melrose Motorcycle Accident Cases

In motorcycle accidents, many scenarios can lead to a collision. Negligent actions of drivers that can lead to accidents include:

• Speeding
• Drunk driving
• Failing to yield
• Not giving enough space when following or passing motorcyclists
• Distracted driving

Recovering compensation successfully relies on being able to prove that your injuries were due to someone else’s negligence. It can be challenging to prove negligence, so your lawyer will carefully investigate your accident. They may:

• Interview witnesses
• Secure surveillance footage of the event, such as from traffic cameras and business security cameras
• Review police reports, driving records, and other pertinent documentation
• Consult with third-party experts, such as an accident reconstruction specialist

Florida follows a modified comparative negligence law, which means you can recover compensation for your injuries if you are 50% or less at fault. However, your percentage of fault is deducted from your recoverable compensation. Insurance companies may use this law to their advantage and argue that you were more at fault than you were. This insurer tactic makes it even more vital to investigate your accident thoroughly.

Legal Deadlines for Your Melrose Motorcycle Accident Case

Under Florida Statutes § 95.11, you generally have only two years to pursue a personal injury lawsuit. Typically, the countdown to this deadline begins on the date of your accident.

In the tragic event that a loved one lost their life in a motorcycle accident, you also generally only have two years to pursue a wrongful death lawsuit. Our Melrose wrongful death lawyers can help you do so.

Our legal team will start your case as soon as you hire us. We will ensure your case is investigated and any suits are filed within the required legal timelines. Contact Meldon Law to get started today.

What Should You Do While Recovering After a Motorcycle Accident to Help Your Case

Immediately following a motorcycle accident, you should always seek medical attention and call the police. These two actions are some of the most vital for protecting your health and safety.

However, once you have begun your recovery, there are some additional actions which can be helpful. These include:

• Continue Your Medical Care: Stopping your treatment can set back your recovery. It can also be used against you by insurance providers who may argue that you stopped treatment because your injuries were not as serious as you claimed.
• Avoid Talking to Insurance Adjusters on Your Own: Insurance adjusters may try to question you while you are recovering. When this happens, do not speak to them until you have spoken to your lawyer. If you must talk to them on your own, avoid taking blame for the accident. Even an apology can be seen as accepting fault.
• Avoid Posting on Social Media: Public posts can be used against you.
