Fort Lauderdale Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, there were approximately 6.2 million registered motorcycles on America's roads, highways, and interstates in 2005. Given the very exposed nature of motorcyclists in the event of an accident or collision, the relative number of accidents involving injury or death of motorcyclists is proportionally higher than those seen in passenger car drivers. In fact, the Department of Transportation notes that 4,810 motorcycle accident fatalities occurred in the estimated 104,000 motorcycle accidents that were reported nationally in the year 2006. Typically, a motorcycle accident will involve the collision of a motorcycle with a passenger car, which can result in serious, life threatening medical injuries to the motorcyclist in many instances. Likewise, property damage incurred by motorcycles during an accident generally requires the replacement of these vehicles following an accident. For victims of motorcycle accidents in the South Florida area, a number of legal options may be available to exercise following these events through the assistance of a Fort Lauderdale motorcycle accident lawyer.

Many motorcycle accidents are the direct result of passenger car drivers being unable to see the motorcyclists in the roadway while making driving maneuvers, such as lane changes. The passenger car driver's mistake in not checking all rear mirrors, as well as blind spots, has resulted in thousands of motorcyclists being injured or killed each year in the United States. The injuries, as well as all other damages, from motorcycle accidents should not be the financial responsibility of non-negligent motorcyclists or their loved ones. In fact, motorcycles are afforded the same right of way and other traffic rights as passenger vehicles, which likewise offer them the same amount of recourse in the civil courts. Motorcyclists injured in an accident may have a legal right to compensation for one, some, or all of the following items including:

• Medical bills, including continued medical care and rehabilitation
• Property damage, including repair and replacement of motorcycle
• Lost earnings and lost wage earning capacity
• Loss of consortium with loved ones
• Incurred legal fees
• Pain, suffering, and other psychological trauma
