Motorcycles provide their riders with a sense of freedom and closeness to the road that no other mode of transportation can match. Unfortunately, this freedom sometimes comes with a price. Motorcycle accidents kill and injure thousands of riders each year. It’s not because motorcycles are overly dangerous, or that their riders are reckless. In fact, in a majority of the motorcycle accidents involving a car or truck collision, the driver of the other vehicle is at fault.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a motorcycle accident that was caused by the negligent actions of another, you have a right to seek compensation for all the damages resulting from this accident. These damages include pain, suffering, the costs of your medical bills and lost wages. A Winter Haven motorcycle accident attorney can help.
Don’t Agree to a Settlement With the Insurance Company Until You’ve Spoken With Us
After a motorcycle accident, don’t agree to any settlement with the insurance company until you’ve had a chance to speak with an experienced attorney. The insurance companies don’t care about the long-term, ongoing medical expenses your injuries may require. They just want your case to go away as quickly and as cheaply for them as possible.
Winter Haven motorcycle accident attorney Tania L Rivas and the Rivas Law Group have been successfully representing victims of motorcycle accidents for over 20 years. We have helped clients in Winter Haven, Lutz, Lakeland and neighboring communities win substantial settlements in a wide variety of motorcycle accidents.
Motorcycle Accidents Involving Other Vehicles
A majority of motorcycle accidents involving other vehicles happen when the other vehicle fails to see the motorcycle while changing lanes, pulling into traffic or going through intersections. Injuries sustained in these kinds of motorcycle accidents can be severe and even fatal, including brain and spinal cord injuries, broken bones, damage to internal organs, road rash, disfigurement and paralysis. These injuries often require expensive, ongoing medical treatment and physical therapy and may leave you unable to work ever again.
Single Motorcycle Accidents
Unfortunately, the major culprits in single motorcycle accidents are the riders themselves. The leading causes of single motorcycle accidents are speeding and DUI. However, this is not always the case. Defective parts, improper road maintenance and road debris can result in single rider motorcycle accidents. These can be tough cases to prove and require the attention of a motorcycle accident injury attorney with the expertise and dedication to uncover the real causes of the accident and establish who is responsible.
