I Need Help In:

Q:
A motorcycle accident caused my broken clavicle and back and neck injuries, which caused me to miss work. Is the other driver responsible to pay me missed wages?

We are glad to hear that you survived a South Florida motorcycle accident, but understand the healing and recovery time after a crash could be a long road. We also understand the frustration of not being able to return to work and missing out on money that you need to support yourself and your family.
If the other driver turned left in front of your motorcycle, did not see you coming, or swerved into your lane, among other things, he or she could be responsible for your injuries and lost income. If your injuries are causing you to miss work, then you should pursue a Florida personal injury claim against the other driver for your lost income.
However, we would like to caution you to not take just any settlement until you know the full extent of your back and neck injuries. Sometimes injuries do not surface immediately after an accident, and if you settle with the other side before you know the true extent of your injuries, then you may not receive all you are entitled to. What if your back injuries get worse and force you to stay off work longer?
This is why it is important to speak with a Fort Lauderdale motorcycle accident lawyer after a crash, so that you can make sure your interests and being protected.
