Gainesville, Florida Civil Litigation Law Firm
A motorcycle accident takes mere seconds, but the aftermath can haunt you emotionally, physically, and financially for many years and sometimes the rest of your life.
As a motorcyclist, the risks are higher for you than almost anyone else on Florida’s streets and interstates. Most motorists actively watch for cars, trucks, and semis while driving, often overlooking hard-to-spot bikers and motorcyclists. Your risks multiply exponentially if an inattentive motorist is driving under the influence or becomes distracted by something happening inside the car. Occasionally, drivers are deliberately rude to motorcyclists, allowing unprovoked road rage to put your life and health in jeopardy.
A single text while driving can distract a driver enough to cause a collision, resulting in serious injuries for you: neck or spinal cord injuries, road rash, paralysis, brain injuries, disfigurement, or other physical damage that carries permanent scars.
There are other factors to consider when it comes to motorcycle safety, like the weather in Florida. A sudden rain storm, hail storm, or flash flood can turn an ordinary street into a hazardous situation.
As a motorcyclist, you may already be aware of certain stigmas within the legal system. Some officials may assume that motorcyclists are reckless daredevils, regularly breaking speed limits and traffic regulations. Make no mistake: if you’re the victim of an accident, you must consult a competent motorcycle accident lawyer immediately to ensure your rights and your reputation are protected.
