Ride Toward Claim Success with Our Florida Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Riding a motorcycle is a fun and convenient way to get around Florida. However, every motorcyclist should be aware of the risks of accidents and injuries while riding. No matter how careful you may be while operating your motorcycle, you cannot control the acts of drivers or the environmental conditions around you and accidents can occur. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), an estimated 89,000 motorcyclists sustained injuries in crashes in 2017 in the U.S., while another 5,172 did not survive the crash. To learn more motorcycle accident injury statistics, visit the Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles website.

Motorcyclists injured in accidents have the same legal rights as people injured in other types of motor vehicle accidents. They have the right to seek compensation for their losses through either insurance claims or personal injury claims in court. If you would like to discuss your options after a motorcycle accident, contact our skilled Florida motorcycle accident attorneys at Meldon Law for help today.

Motorcycle Accidents Cause Devastating Injuries

The losses that a motorcycle accident victim can incur are often extensive due to the severe injuries that can result from these accidents. Unlike motorists in cars or trucks, motorcyclists do not have metal frames, bumpers, seatbelts, airbags, and other components to protect them in the event of a collision. Instead, motorcyclists generally have little more than a helmet – if they are wearing one – and the clothes on their backs to protect them from an impact. It should be no surprise that these crashes can leave motorcyclists with catastrophic injuries.

Some of the common serious injuries motorcyclists sustain include:

  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Crushed limbs
  • Broken or shattered bones
  • Burns
  • Lacerations
  • Jaw, facial, and/or dental fractures and injuries
  • Contusions
  • Neck and back injuries
  • Internal organ damage and/or internal bleeding

The above injuries all require emergency medical attention and often need extensive treatment including surgeries, hospitalization, rehabilitation, and more.
