KISSIMMEE MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT ATTORNEY

More often than not, motorcycle accidents occur because a motorist failed to see the motorcyclist and crashed into them. However, this failure to observe the motorcyclist on the road is often due to negligence or the failure to respect a motorcyclist’s right of way on the road. Some specific driver actions that cause accidents include:

• Swerving in front of a cyclist
• Cutting off motorcyclists at intersections
• Speeding
• Failing to yield
• Failing to leave space between vehicles
• Neglecting to pay appropriate attention to others on the road
• Driving under the influence

Motorcyclists do not have the protection of a crumple zone and other safety features that passenger vehicles boast. Those riding motorcycles are exposed when on the road and can be seriously injured or even killed during an accident with another driver. In fact, motorcyclists are 16 times more likely than passenger car occupants to die in a traffic crash, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Some of the most common injuries that occur during motorcycle accidents include:

• Bone fractures
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Disfigurement
• Loss of limbs
• Paralysis
• Death

By pursuing a motorcycle accident lawsuit, you may be able to recover damages of the following types:

Economic: This form of damages may include current and future medical bills, loss of income, and in the most severe cases of injury, a complete loss of earning capacity.

Noneconomic: This may include pain and suffering, mental anguish, loss of enjoyment of life, and in severe cases, disfigurement, paralysis, or amputation.

Punitive: The judge may award punitive damages, which are designed to hold the responsible party liable and discourage them from future reckless behavior.

Wrongful Death: In worst case scenarios, the victim of the motorcycle accident may die from their injuries. If this happens, the family of the victim may be able to recover compensation for final expenses, funeral costs, loss of companionship, and the loss of income.
