MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS

More motorcycle fatalities happen in Florida than in any other state. Because of the comfortable climate, motorcycles are on the road more often, raising the risk of accidents. Unfortunately, because motorcycles don’t offer the same physical protection as other vehicles, the consequences of a crash are often severe and catastrophic. If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident caused by someone else, you may be entitled to compensation. 

About Motorcycle Accidents

Some of the factors that contribute to motorcycle accidents in Florida include:

• Senior drivers on the road with diminished reactions times, vision, and hearing 
• Inexperienced motorcyclists who have trouble with control and balance 
• Tourists driving on unfamiliar roadways
• Distracted driving 
• Environmental conditions 
• Reckless driving 

Settlement Considerations

In personal injury cases, the burden of proof is on the plaintiff. If the plaintiff can show the defendant caused the accident, compensation for medical bills, lost investments, work-life expectancy, and other losses will be awarded. However, this process can be complicated. The team at the Law Office of Isadore Hyde is here to make sure you have all the resources and guidance you need to maximize your chances of winning.
