While Town ‘N’ Country, Carrollwood, and Citrus Park are great places to ride year-round, staying safe on the road isn’t easy for motorcycle riders in Florida. Unfortunately, drivers frequently make poor decisions and careless mistakes that put riders in harm’s way. Defects, maintenance issues, and other hazards can cause accidents as well, and all of these factors combine to cause thousands of motorcycle accidents statewide each year.

When these factors lead to motorcycle accidents, injured riders and families will often be entitled to financial compensation. At Abrahamson & Uiterwyk, our Town ‘N’ Country motorcycle accident lawyers bring decades of experience to handling cases involving:

• Aggressive and reckless drivers
• Careless and inattentive drivers
• Distracted drivers
• Drunk drivers
• Fatigued drivers
• Inexperienced drivers
• Motorcycle and vehicle defects
• Safety equipment (i.e., helmet) defects

No matter what happened, if you have been injured or a loved one has been killed in a motorcycle accident, we strongly encourage you to contact us for a free, no-obligation consultation. Our lawyers will thoroughly assess your legal rights, and they will help you make an informed decision about how to move forward.

Sadly, even motorcycle riders who do their best to protect themselves are not immune from suffering the consequences of someone else’s mistake. For example, while the following safety practices can help reduce riders’ risk of serious or fatal injury, they cannot protect riders entirely.  For the greatest protection possible, riders should always:

• Ride within your limits
• Give plenty of buffer to dangerous drivers
• Maintain your motorcycle in safe operating condition
• Obey the speed limit and other traffic laws
• Practice ATGATT (All The Gear, All The Time)

Do Not Make Assumptions About Your Legal Rights After a Motorcycle Accident

What if you weren’t following all of these safety practices? For example, what if you were riding above the posted speed limit? Or, what if you weren’t wearing a helmet (since helmets aren’t required for insured riders over 21 under Florida law) at the time of your crash?

Even in these types of situations, it may still be possible to recover financial compensation. This is based on two key legal principles that apply to motorcycle accidents in Florida: 

1. Liability for Motorcycle Accidents is Based on Evidence of Fault

First, in motorcycle accident cases, liability is based on evidence of fault. Even if a rider makes a mistake on the road, this does not necessarily mean that the rider is liable for his or her own injuries. For example, consider a scenario in which a motorcycle rider is speeding slightly. If an investigation reveals that the rider’s speed was not a factor in the crash, then the rider is not liable under Florida law.

2. Even if You (or Your Loved One) was Partially at Fault, You May Still Seek Partial Compensation

Florida is a modified comparative negligence state. This means that if you are found to be no more than 50% at fault for the accident, your recovery is reduced by the same proportion as your percentage of fault. As an example, if you are found to be 20% at fault in an accident, you may still recover 80% of your damages in a lawsuit. If, however, your percentage of fault is found to be more than 50%, you are barred from any recovery under the law.

After a motorcycle accident, it can be tempting to try to move on as quickly as possible. The insurance companies know this, and they will often try to get riders and their families to accept low-ball settlements. As a result, you should not accept an insurance company’s settlement offer unless you have consulted with an attorney.

In most cases, when an insurance company makes a quick settlement offer, there will be significantly more on the table. Under Florida law, riders and their families are entitled to just compensation for their financial and non-financial losses. This includes all current and future costs associated with the accident. Unless you present evidence of your losses to the insurance companies, you will not receive just compensation for your: 

• Medical care, medical supplies, prescriptions, and therapy
• Other out-of-pocket costs (i.e., home modifications or in-home support services)
• Loss of income, benefits, and future earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Post-traumatic stress
• Scarring and disfigurement
• Loss of companionship, consortium, enjoyment of life, services, society, and support

Calculating just compensation for these losses is not easy, and you cannot expect the insurance companies to calculate your losses for you. In order to protect yourself and your family, you need to take control of your insurance claim, and this starts with putting an experienced Town ‘N’ Country motorcycle accident lawyer on your side.
