Trust Our Leesburg-Based Law Firm to Seek Motorcycle Accident Compensation
You and your family should not have to pay for a motorcycle crash caused by someone else’s negligent actions. However, getting the money you deserve can often be challenging, even if you think your case seems straightforward.
Our Leesburg Bikefest motorcycle accident lawyers can help you understand your rights and explore every option available to you for seeking compensation under Florida’s laws. We can also answer any questions you may have about recovering your damages, which may include:
“How Will Insurance Laws Affect My Claim?”
Four-wheeled vehicle drivers must adhere to Florida’s no-fault insurance laws, but motorcyclists are exempt from this system. Motorcycle operators do not have to have personal injury protection (PIP) insurance, meaning they do not have to exhaust this coverage before seeking compensation from a liable party.
“What Damages Can I Recover?”
Injured parties can recover economic and non-economic damages. Economic compensation includes your actual, out-of-pocket expenses (both current and expected), and non-economic damages are for intangible losses related to your physical and mental health. In general, we can help you pursue financial awards for the following:
- Ambulance transportation and emergency medical treatment
- Surgeries
- Hospital and doctor fees
- Physical therapy
- Mobility aids and medical equipment
- Nursing services
- Lost wages, earnings, and employment benefits
- Loss of future earning capacity
- Motorcycle repairs or vehicle replacement
- Household services
- Medical travel expenses
If your loved one suffered a fatal motorcycle accident injury, our Leesburg wrongful death lawyers can seek financial recovery. Compensation may include medical bills, loss of the decedent’s support, income, and services, and survivors’ mental pain and suffering.
“How Long Do I Have to Act?”
Florida’s statute of limitations for filing a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit governs how long you have to sue. According to Florida Statutes § 95.11, you have two years to pursue your case in civil court.
The deadline is important even if you plan to seek damages through an insurance claim. If this deadline expires and you have not filed a lawsuit, it will significantly decrease your bargaining power.
Contact Bogin, Munns & Munns to get started today. Our team is available 24/7 to answer your questions and explain the benefits of working with our Leesburg Bikefest motorcycle accident attorneys.
Our Motorcycle Accident Lawyers Will Establish Crash Liability
According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV), 140 motorcycle crash injuries and 13 fatalities occurred in Lake County in 2023. Common causes of motorcycle accidents include the following:
- Drinking and driving. Bikefest is a party, but that doesn’t mean it’s all right to drink and drive. Drunk driving can lead to impaired vision, loss of motor control, and reduced judgment, resulting in severe and deadly collisions.
- Negligent driving. Drivers and motorcyclists must obey traffic laws and avoid negligent or illegal behaviors like speeding, running red lights, distracted driving, or aggressive driving.
- Failing to watch for motorcycles. Because of their smaller size, motorcycles can be hard to see. Drivers must watch for bikers, particularly at night, at intersections, or when making left turns.
- Driving too close to a motorcycle. Florida Statutes § 316.209 entitles motorcycles to an entire lane. Car and truck drivers must give motorcyclists room, and motorcycle riders cannot ride two abreast (lane share).
Our motorcycle accident lawyers in Leesburg will investigate your crash and prove it resulted from another party’s negligence. We will visit the accident scene, take photographs, interview eyewitnesses, and collect physical evidence. We will also obtain police reports, medical records, and other case-related documents. If necessary, we can hire and consult with crash reconstructionists and other case experts.
