Motorcycle Personal Injury Lawyer
Were you injured in a motorcycle accident on a Florida roadway?
A motorcycle personal injury lawyer can help you determine whether you have a legitimate claim to seek compensation for damages incurred in a motorcycle-involved collision on a Florida highway or street. At the law offices of Harrell & Harrell, P.A., our accident attorneys have a thorough understanding of the legal complexities that are often involved with a motorcycle crash. As avid bikers, we know how to use the legal system for the best results when dealing with your insurance carrier and the insurance companies representing the other drivers involve in a crash.
If you become one of Florida's unfortunate accident victims, there are several steps that you can take to improve your chances of receiving a fair settlement for the injuries and damages that you may have sustained. These include:
- Immediately seek medical attention for ANY injuries you received. There's often an adrenalin rush following a crash and injuries that appear to be minor may become prolonged and costly.
- Make certain the police investigate the accident and file a report. Although single-bike accidents are often embarrassing, you may not recognize the true cause of the crash at the time.
- Many motorcyclists carry cell phones with them when they ride. If you can, take as many photos of the accident scene from as many different angles as you can. This will help our accident team reconstruct the collision when preparing your case.
- Gather as much information as you can from all the parties involved in the crash . . plus, any witnesses that may have seen what happened. You should avoid in-depth conversations with those involved (and their insurance carriers) until you have spoken with a motorcycle personal injury lawyer.
- Call your motorcycle insurance company and notify them of the accident. Again, keep it simple. At this time, your carrier only needs to know about the accident and should not offer too much information. After all, your insurance company may be liable for certain damages.
- Contact the law offices of Harrell & Harrell in Jacksonville, Palatka, Daytona Beach or Orlando to speak directly with a motorcycle personal injury attorney about your case. Our lawyers can also arrange a no cost, no obligation consultation in other north and central Florida locations for a Home Visit.
The Sunshine State is a great place to enjoy motorcycling and several major motorcycle outings, such as Daytona Bike Week, are hosted annually in the state. When you combine the those traveling state's scenic routes along with those visiting central Florida's "Theme Park Mecca", you have a lot of motorist sharing the same space. Most of these out-of-towners have very little knowledge of area road conditions, local traffic patterns or dangerous intersections. Unfortunately, these variables often result in single or multi-vehicle accidents for the unexpected motorcycle rider.
