What to Do After an Accident at a Motorcycle Event or Bike Rally in Florida

Your health and your financial recovery are paramount after your accident. The two primary steps you can take to address these concerns are:

Finding a Capable Doctor

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that motorcycle riders are overrepresented in fatal crashes, which indicates how vulnerable they are to critical injuries. Even if you don’t think you have a serious injury, you should:

• Seek medical attention as soon as possible.
• Alert the doctor to any pain or abnormal symptoms you’re experiencing.
• Ensure that medical providers explain and diagnose each of your symptoms.
• Ask if medical imaging is necessary (this can be one of the best ways to document accident-related injuries)
• Obtain bills, copies of medical images, and all other documentation of your injuries and medical care

If you want to pursue legal action in a negligence case, you can hire our team and allow us to refer you to a medical provider. Either way, you must receive prompt, comprehensive care for your injuries. You should also seek treatment for any psychological and emotional issues you’re having after the accident. Our firm can help with that, too.

Finding a Professional Florida Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Having a lawyer lead your motorcycle accident case can:

• Result in the financial recovery you seek
• Protect your rights and interests
• Allow you to focus your time and attention on recovery
• Spare you from stress, health complications, and financial losses that might result if you handle your case

Look no further than our firm for compassionate motorcycle accident lawyers with years of personal injury law knowledge and experience. We aim to help you recover the financial awards you need to cover your economic and non-economic damages and get your life back on track.

How Our Florida Motorcycle Accident Attorneys Can Lead Your Bike Crash Case

When you choose our firm to represent you, we will deliver the exact brand of legal service you deserve. You will be able to heal in peace because we are leading every step of your case, including:

• Communicating with insurers: Insurance companies are often involved in the aftermath of motorcycle accidents. We will deal with insurers for you, ensuring that they do not violate your rights or convince you to accept a lowball settlement.
• Securing all accident-related evidence: Our team will quickly secure all evidence that is relevant to your case. Eyewitness accounts, video of the accident, and photographs of damage to your bike may be among the valuable evidence we collect.
• Calculating the cost of your damages: We will calculate your economic and non-economic damages to determine how much money you deserve. This calculation will be precise, as we want to ensure you don’t pay any out-of-pocket costs related to your accident. 
• Identifying the best strategy for your case: Insurance claims and lawsuits are two ways to obtain compensation for victims of bike accidents. We will develop an initial strategy for your case, but we won’t be overly committed to that strategy. If liable parties aren’t willing to settle for a fair amount, we will be willing to file a lawsuit on your behalf.
• Negotiating a financial settlement: Our firm has obtained many significant settlements and verdicts for our clients. We enter settlement negotiations with a winning mindset, and we will keep your financial needs at the forefront.  
• Going to trial if necessary: While we will present our strongest argument for liable parties to pay you fairly, we’re prepared if those liable parties aren’t willing to settle. In this case, we will take your case to court.

Whether you have suffered catastrophic injuries, lost a loved one, or have injuries that are less than catastrophic, our legal team’s services can be an immense help. Your health and finances may benefit from your decision to trust our team.

We Will Demand Fair Compensation for Your Accident-Related Damages

Motorcycle accidents are notoriously expensive, and we will demand fair compensation for:

• Medical expenses
• Pain and suffering
• Professional damages
• Mental health treatment (counseling, therapy)
• Loss of income
• Lost earning capacity 
• Bike, helmet, and other gear repairs
• Replacement of damaged personal property

Wrongful Death Damages

If your loved one died after suffering injuries at a biker rally or other motorcycle event, we will demand compensation for funeral expenses, burial costs, loss of consortium, lost financial support, and all other damages.
