For decades, our personal injury attorneys have been a source of support and legal advocacy for crash victims in Florida. We could fight to recover your medical expenses and other crash damages.

How Can You Seek Compensation for a Motorcycle Accident In Avalon Park?

Florida’s no-fault auto insurance laws exclude motorcycle riders. This means you do not have to have personal injury protection (PIP) insurance or exhaust your own insurance coverage after an accident. You can proceed directly to seeking compensation from the party that caused the crash.

Our motorcycle accident lawyers in Avalon Park could help you pursue your losses with an auto liability insurance claim against the at-fault driver or other liable party. We could also seek damages with a personal injury lawsuit if necessary.

Depending on the circumstances surrounding the collision, those at fault may include another motorcyclist, a vehicle driver, or a driver’s employer.

What Damages Can You Recover?

Our lawyers could help you recover economic and non-economic damages after an Avalon Park motorcycle collision. Economic damages are your tangible losses, like expenses that you can add up and prove using bills, receipts, and estimates. Typically, medical bills, lost wages, future lost earning capacity, and motorcycle repair and replacement costs fall into this category.

Non-economic damages compensate for intangible losses caused by physical pain and emotional and mental suffering. These damages may include monetary awards for chronic pain, permanent injuries, disabilities, scarring, disfigurement, loss of enjoyment, and reduced quality of life.

If your loved one sustained a fatal crash injury, a wrongful death claim may include additional economic and non-economic damages, such as funeral and burial expenses, and compensation for the loss of your family member’s companionship and services.

Motorcycle Accident Causes and Injuries

From the Daytona Loop to the Ocala National Forest Loop, Orange County offers motorcyclists near Avalon Park many options for scenic drives. But a beautiful day on the road can quickly turn sour when other motorists make mistakes or fail to pay attention to riders.

Distracted driving (including texting and driving), speeding, making improper turns, tailgating, and not respecting a rider’s right to use a full lane of traffic are all common causes of motorcycle accidents. When drivers engage in these actions, they are negligent and could be held liable for damages. When crashes occur, motorcyclists can suffer serious and deadly injuries because they are not shielded from the impact by a vehicle cab or airbags. There is also no seatbelt to keep them from flying off the bike into the road.

Our Avalon Park motorcycle accident attorneys could help you with claims involving severe cuts and bruising (“road rash”), bone fractures, back injuries, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and internal injuries.

How to Prove Fault for a Motorcycle Crash

To prove fault for a motorcycle accident, you must show, using evidence, that another party’s negligence caused the collision. Our motorcycle accident lawyers in Avalon Park could help you investigate your accident and gather proof to support your case, which may include:

  • Photographs and video of the accident scene
  • Dashcam or surveillance footage of the collision
  • Police reports
  • Medical records
  • Eyewitness accounts
  • Testimony from expert witnesses, such as crash reconstruction specialists or medical doctors

We could help you present the strongest case possible to the insurance company, including negotiating on your behalf for a settlement that is in your best interest.

Time Limits for Pursuing a Motorcycle Collision Claim

According to Florida Statutes § 95.11, the statute of limitations for most personal injury lawsuits, including motorcycle accident cases, is two years. If you do not file within the deadline, the court will refuse your suit. If you cannot sue, there is no threat of legal action against the insurance company, and you lose your bargaining power. So, this time limit is essential to all claims. Our attorneys could help you get started on your motorcycle accident case immediately.
