Motorcycle Accident: Protecting the Rights of South Florida Riders

Dedicated Support for Vulnerable Road Users

Motorcyclists face unique dangers on the road. Due to the lack of physical protection, a collision that might result in minor injuries for a car driver can be catastrophic for a rider.

In the aftermath of a motorcycle accident, riders often face severe injuries, high medical costs, and bias from insurance companies who may unfairly blame the motorcyclist.

Injury Help Group is committed to connecting injured riders with legal and medical professionals who understand the complexities of Florida motorcycle law and the severity of these injuries.

The Challenge of Motorcycle Accident Claims

While Florida is a No-Fault state, motorcycles are exempt from the mandatory Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage required for cars.

This means that after an accident, the injured rider must typically pursue a claim directly against the at-fault driver’s liability insurance to cover medical bills and other damages.

Our affiliated legal teams focus on overcoming common defenses used by insurance companies:

• Challenging Bias: Countering the stereotype that motorcyclists are reckless, and proving the other driver’s negligence.
• Establishing Liability: Thoroughly investigating the accident scene, often using accident reconstruction experts, to prove the other driver was at fault (e.g., failure to see the motorcycle, unsafe lane changes, or distracted driving).
• Maximizing Compensation: Fighting for full compensation for severe injuries common in these accidents, such as road rash, traumatic brain injuries (TBI), spinal cord injuries, and permanent disfigurement.

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

The majority of motorcycle accidents are caused by the negligence of other drivers, often because they simply “did not see” the motorcycle. Common causes include:

• Left-Turn Accidents: A car turning left in front of an oncoming motorcycle.
• Lane-Change Collisions: Drivers failing to check blind spots before changing lanes.
• Door Accidents (Dooring): Drivers or passengers opening a car door into the path of a motorcyclist.
• Distracted Driving: Drivers operating vehicles while texting or otherwise inattentive.
