Clearwater Motorcycle Accident Lawyers

Motorcycles are among the most dangerous vehicles on the road because they offer little physical protection and have no seat belts. On a motorcycle, hitting a truck is like hitting a steel wall. As a result, many people involved in motorcycle accidents are seriously injured or killed.

Many times people who are involved in a motorcycle accident will be damaged in several ways. For example, you may have experienced bodily injuries and resulting pain and suffering as well as property damage to your motorcycle, lost wages, loss of the ability to earn money in the future, disability, expenses for hospital, immediate and future medical expenses, and you may have aggravated an injury you had prior to the accident. You deserve to be compensated for these losses.

Do not assume that your auto insurance will cover you if you are in an accident while driving a motorcycle or that the negligent party’s personal injury protection (PIP) insurance coverage will either. This is not the case. Florida does not require a motorcycle owner or rider to have insurance if they wear a Department of Transportation-approved helmet. Your automobile PIP coverage will not cover you as the motorcycle owner or rider. Some insurance companies provide medical payments coverage, but it is not governed by Florida statutes and is simply a contract between the motorcycle owner or rider and the insurance company. Coverages may vary greatly between different motorcycle insurance providers.
