Our Motorcycle Accident Case Results

We are proud of the case results we have achieved for clients across Florida, including the following awards for motorcycle accident victims like the following:

$4,250,000

Golf Cart Accident

Our client tragically lost his life when a distracted golf cart driver crashed into our client while he was riding his bicycle. Our client was an avid cyclist and was riding his usual route when a golf cart made a left turn and cut across our client’s bike path. The impact of the collision was so severe that our client was knocked off his bicycle into the air and landed in the roadway. Due to the golf cart driver’s failure to adhere to standard traffic regulations and exercise due caution, our client was tragically killed. Our office is pursuing a wrongful death action on behalf of the surviving family.

$1,450,000

Motorcycle Accident

A woman on a motorcycle was hit by a car that resulted in leg amputation below the knee.

$1,250,000

Pedestrian Accident

A female pedestrian was hit by a car that was pulling out of a parking lot that resulted in lower back surgery and a spinal stimulator implant.

$995,000

Car Accident

When hit by a driver of a Ford Credit company who ran a stop-sign at an intersection of a highway causing – multiple cervical fractures, a frontal lobe brain injury, a right shoulder injury, and a right broken arm.

$950,000

Golf Cart Accident

Our client was enjoying an afternoon riding in a golf cart when another golf cart t-boned our client’s cart. Our client suffered significant injuries resulting in permanent disfigurement of her feet, hands, and TBI’s. Our firm was able to successfully settle this matter pre-suit for our client for $950,000.00.

$500,000

Traumatic Brain Injury

Our client was severely injured in an intersection crash. She suffered two (2) significant “jolts” – the first from when she was T-boned in the intersection, and the second from when the original impact caused her to strike a utility pole. The crash caused highly painful low back injuries, initially forcing the client to undergo aggressive pain management, including radiofrequency ablations (nerve burning). A highly compelling, emotional video was prepared featuring testimony from the client and her Aunt about the mental, emotional, and physical problems the client has faced since the crash. The case settled pre-suit for $500,000.00.

$500,000

Car Accident

Our client was a driving on a curved road in a residential neighborhood in South Florida at midnight when he was struck head-on by a high-performance sportscar traveling at a very high rate of speed. One of the witnesses to the crash was a U.S. Army Officer who saw the sportscar literally “fly through the median” prior to striking our client’s vehicle. Fortunately, the at-fault vehicle initially struck bushes and knocked over a palm tree prior to the collision, otherwise the injuries to our client most likely would have been fatal. A life care plan for the client was prepared by a highly qualified, well respected certified life care planner hired by our firm, and ultimately, the case settled for $500,000.00.

$450,000

Motorcycle Accident

Our client was preparing to stop when the car driven behind them failed to notice and crashed into the rear of our client’s vehicle. The hit was of such force that it knocked our client’s vehicle into oncoming traffic where he ultimately came to a stop in the ditch on the opposite side of the road. Our client suffered catastrophic injuries. The case ultimately settled pre-suit for $450,000.00.

How Does Florida’s No-Fault Insurance System Affect Motorcycle Accident Claims?

Florida’s no-fault insurance laws only apply to four-wheeled vehicles, so motorcycle riders do not have to have personal injury protection (PIP). Because they are outside the no-fault system, injured motorcyclists do not have to exhaust their insurance coverage or prove they have severe injuries before filing a liability insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit.

If you sustained an injury and a negligent driver caused your crash, you have the unrestricted right to seek compensation from them, including financial losses and awards for pain and suffering.

Common Causes of Motorcycle Collisions

According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV), there were 142 motorcycle accidents in Marion County in 2022, resulting in seven fatalities.

Many motorcycle accidents occur because drivers simply do not see motorcycle riders. A motorcycle’s small size can also put it in blind spots and make it hard for drivers to determine its speed and distance.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that in 2021:

Two-thirds of fatal motorcycle accidents occurred on urban roadways. In urban locations, vehicles and motorcycles are more likely to share the road in high-traffic situations.
One-third of fatal motorcycle accidents happened at intersections.
Around 40 percent of motorcycle collisions resulted from a vehicle driver making a left-hand turn into the path of an oncoming motorcyclist.

The underlying reason for many crashes is driver negligence. Examples of negligence include:

Running a red light or stop sign
Following or passing a motorcycle too closely
Driving alongside a motorcycle in the same lane
Making an improper turn
Failing to yield the right of way
Driving drunk
Driving distracted (including texting while driving)

What Is the Statute of Limitations for Motorcycle Accidents?

Florida Statutes § 95.11 allows two years to file a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit. If you do not file before the statute of limitations expires, the court will usually refuse to hear your case. You lose your leverage over the insurance company if you cannot sue. You may get left with a denied claim or reduced settlement and have no legal recourse.
