Motorcyclists Often Suffer Serious and Catastrophic Injuries and Significant Damages in Ojus Crashes

When a motorcyclist suffers crash injuries, they are often more severe than others involved in the same collision. Despite wearing a helmet and other safety gear, motorcyclists have little protection from the impacts that occur in these crashes. Some common motorcycle accident injuries include:

• Head and brain injuries
• Neck, back, and spinal cord injuries
• Broken bones
• Amputations
• Road rash
• Internal injuries
• Facial injuries
• Severe cuts and bruises
• Significant blood loss and shock

Some motorcyclists require specialized care for traumatic injuries after a crash and may receive ambulance or medevac helicopter transportation to a nearby hospital, such as:

• HCA Florida Kendall Hospital
• Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital
• Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson South Medical Center

The level of care available at a trauma center ensures motorcyclists with catastrophic injuries can heal and rehabilitate as fully as possible. While our clients continue their care and recovery, we begin investigating the crash and documenting their injuries, expenses, and losses.

This allows us to seek compensation for damages, such as:

• Medical expenses
• Future medical care and support needs
• Lost income and reduced earning ability
• Pain and suffering
• Property damage
• Disability or disfigurement
• Emotional distress
• Diminished quality of life
• Wrongful death damages, when the motorcyclist passes away from severe injuries

Our Lawyers Identify the Liable Motorists and Hold Them Accountable

Who is legally responsible for a motorcycle crash depends on who caused the accident. It can be the other driver, the motorcyclist, or sometimes a third party like a property owner or maintenance agency charged with maintaining the road.

When we investigate these crashes, we often find a careless or reckless driver caused our client’s motorcycle accident. They fail to see motorcycles, drive too fast, make sudden lane changes without signaling, or ignore other traffic rules. Their behavior behind the wheel puts motorcyclists in danger, since they are smaller and harder to see in traffic.

We know what it takes to hold these drivers accountable and recover a payout for our clients. Some recent case results include large recoveries for injured motorcyclists:

• $1,450,000 for a client who endured a below-the-knee amputation after her motorcycle was hit by a car
• $450,000 for a client who suffered catastrophic injuries when hit from behind and knocked into traffic

What You Can Expect When You Hire Our Ojus Team to Handle Your Motorcycle Accident Case

When you hire a motorcycle accident lawyer from our firm, we will manage all aspects of your case from start to finish. We determine liability by gathering evidence, including police reports, witness statements, photos, video, and expert opinions. Our team investigates how the accident happened and who acted carelessly. This is how we prove who is legally responsible for your injuries.

Once we have a strong understanding of the facts that prove who caused the accident and the extent of your injuries, we can take action to recover the compensation you deserve. Some ways we may do this for our clients include:

• Negotiating a Settlement: Our lawyers talk with the insurance company to agree on fair compensation in your case.
• Filing a Lawsuit: We officially start a legal case to protect your rights and demand compensation.
• Mediating the Case: A trained mediator helps both sides reach an agreement outside of court.
• Litigating the Case and Going to Trial: If no settlement is reached, we take your case to court and ask for a verdict in your favor.

Contact Our Team as Soon as Your Injuries Allow

While we cannot file your claim until we have a strong understanding of your prognosis or you are fully healed, we need to get to work on your case as soon as possible. Getting started quickly matters because:

• Evidence is often lost over time.
• Witnesses forget key details or cannot be reached.
• Insurance companies push quick, lowball settlements.
• Our lawyers can guide you through each step from the start.
• You will not have to worry about your case while you heal.

There are also legal deadlines you should be aware of. Under Fla. Stat. § 95.11, you have a limited time to sue for compensation. Missing this deadline would likely bar your case from court.
