Port St. Lucie Motorcycle Accident Lawyers
More than 80% of motorcycle accidents cause severe injury or death to motorcyclists. In the first three months of 2022 in Florida, 1,176 motorcycle crashes have occurred, and these crashes resulted in 996 injuries and 65 deaths. Motorcycles don’t have the crashworthiness and protection elements other motor vehicles have.
Cars, SUVs, and trucks are likewise bulkier and heavier than motorcycles. They have doors, airbags, seat belts, and a roof. They’re also easier to see on the road and are stable because they have four wheels. This means that a car vs. motorcycle crash inevitably results in more serious injury to the motorcyclist.
If you or a loved one has suffered injuries in a Florida motorcycle accident, the skilled Port St. Lucie motorcycle accident lawyers of Rosenthal, Levy, Simon & Sosa can bring legal action against the responsible party and ensure that you get the justice and compensation you deserve.
We know the devastation and related losses a motorcycle crash can cause, but you don’t have to bear all burden of your injuries and damages if the accident occurred due to another’s negligence or reckless acts. Please reach out to our Port St. Lucie motorcycle accident lawyer to discuss the specific details of your accident so we can work on getting you back on the road and rebuilding your life.
Common Motorcycle Accident Causes in Florida
Rosenthal, Levy, Simon & Sosa regularly handles all kinds of motorcycle crashes resulting from someone else’s negligent actions. Our Port St. Lucie motorcycle accident lawyer frequently deals with accidents involving:
- Driver Error: A driver who fails to drive their vehicle responsibly will inevitably cause an accident that will harm other road users. If a driver becomes distracted while driving or breaks the traffic laws and crashes into a motorcyclist, it is the motorcyclist who will suffer the most in the crash.
- Road Defects: Municipalities and cities must ensure that roadways are regularly maintained and free of defects and hazards. The lives of motorcyclists are endangered if there are uneven roads, potholes, and other hazards that the entity responsible for maintaining the road fails to address.
- Intoxicated Driving: Drivers who choose to get behind the wheel after taking drugs or drinking alcohol are not only putting themselves at risk for catastrophic injury or death – they’re also putting the lives of those they share the road with at risk.
- Defective Motorcycle Design or Components: If you were hurt in a crash that resulted from a defective motorcycle component, you might hold the motorcycle’s manufacturer and other parties in the distribution chain liable for your damages.
Motorcycle Accidents Cause Catastrophic and Life-Changing Injuries
Our Port St. Lucie motorcycle accident lawyer knows how to assess the losses and expenses related to serious motorcycle crash injuries and how different kinds of injuries could impact your life. We routinely represent injured motorcyclists who have suffered the following injuries:
- Facial Injuries
- Multiple Fractured and Broken Bones
- Brain and Head Injuries
- Spinal Cord Injuries
- Severed Rotator Cuffs, Muscles, Tendons, and Ligaments
- Severe Road Rash and Burns
It’s common for motorcyclists to fly from their motorcycles in an accident while the driver who crashed into them remains safe inside the confines of their vehicle. Such ejections typically lead to more serious injuries due to the impact of violently landing on the ground or another obstacle on the road.
Motorcyclists also have an increased risk of injury since many drivers fail to act with care when there are motorcycles around, usually not even seeing the motorcycle until it’s too late to prevent the crash. This is especially true when drivers make turns and fail to look out for motorcycles around them.
