Motorcycle Accidents
Florida insurance regulations and dishonest insurance carriers can complicate the process of recovering compensation for injured motorcyclists. Therefore, it is important for injured riders, or loved ones acting on their behalf, to retain an attorney who has experience handling these types of claims.
Our attorneys at Morgan & Morgan have a successful history of handling claims against insurance companies and, for one rider, a $47,500,000 verdict for injuries sustained in a head-on collision. While each case is different and damages will vary, our attorneys are committed to helping motorcyclists recover compensation for their losses, which may include medical bills and property damage.
If you have been involved in a motorcycle accident, you may have legal recourse. To learn more about how our attorneys may be able to help, please fill out our no cost case review form today.
Our Process
-
Documentation
First, your assigned legal team will gather records related to your claim, including medical records, medical bills, and insurance policy information.
These documents will help your attorney understand the extent of your injury, and build your case for compensation.
-
Investigation
Your attorney and legal team will investigate your accident in great detail to gather the necessary evidence.
They may look at dashcam footage, security camera footage, police records, and more to help build your case.
-
Negotiation
Your attorney will negotiate with the defense, outside of the courtroom, to help get you the compensation you may be entitled to.
If settlement negotiations are unsuccessful, your attorney is prepared to go to trial and present your case in the strongest possible form.
