Motorcycle Accident Lawsuits

Motorcyclists are extremely vulnerable on the road. In 2006, there were 88,000 injuries in the United States as a result of motorcycle accidents, and according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), motorcyclists are 34 times more likely to be killed in a traffic collision than motorists in passenger vehicles. Because motorcycles offer no external protection in the event of a crash, motorcyclists are subjected to the full force of a collision. Even motorcyclists who wear proper riding gear face a real risk of suffering a traumatic brain injury or spinal cord injury in a motorcycle accident, in addition to broken bones, cuts, lacerations, and “road rash” or severe skin abrasion.

If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, a motorcycle injury lawyer from our Sarasota personal injury law firm can help you obtain financial compensation for medical costs, rehabilitation costs, loss of wages (including future wages), and pain and suffering.

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

Unfortunately, many motorcycle accidents result from the negligent actions of other motorists. Motorcycles are not nearly as visible as passenger cars are, so motorists should take extra precautions to ensure that they are aware of motorcyclists in their vicinity. A failure by a motorist in a passenger car to be cognizant of his or her surroundings can lead to serious injury or death. If you or someone you love has been injured in a motorcycle accident as a result of one of the following, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit:

• Distracted Driving
• Following a motorcyclist too closely
• Speeding or driving recklessly
• Attempting to share a lane with a motorcyclist
• Pulling into the path of a motorcyclist from a parking lot or driveway
• Making a left-hand turn in front of an oncoming motorcyclist
