Orlando, Florida Motorcycle Accident Attorneys
Because motorcycles do not offer the physical protection that cars do, motorcycle riders are much more susceptible to catastrophic injuries, such as traumatic brain injuries, paralysis, broken limbs, road rash and even wrongful death.
At Dellecker, Wilson, King, McKenna & Ruffier, LLP, our Orlando, Florida car accident attorneys represent victims statewide to help them obtain compensation for their medical expenses and other hardships. Too often, the failure of motorists to see a motorcycle results in catastrophic injury. Often, the driver of the other vehicle involved in the collision with the motorcycle did not see the motorcycle before the collision, or did not see the motorcycle until too late to avoid the collision. Our auto accident lawyers handle personal injury claims on behalf of Florida victims statewide. If you or a loved one has been injured as the result of another driver’s negligence, contact our Orlando, Florida motorcycle accident attorneys today.
Motorcycle Accident Injuries
Motorcycle accidents are common, particularly among beginning riders. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, motorcyclists are about 34 times more likely than passenger car occupants to die in an auto accident and eight times more likely to be injured. Crash analyses have shown the following to be the most common motorcycle accident injuries:
- Brain and spinal cord injuries
- Paralysis
- Severe road rash
- Traumatic amputation
- Broken bones
- Neck and back injuries
- Wrongful death
Motorcycle accidents may be caused by a number of factors, including defective roadway design, poor weather conditions, defective products (tires, helmets, etc.), and the recklessness of other motorists. If you or a family member has been seriously injured as a result of another party’s negligence, contact our Orlando, Florida motorcycle accident attorneys and schedule a free consultation.
Motorcycle Accident Lawsuits
At Dellecker, Wilson, King, McKenna & Ruffier, our Orlando, Florida motorcycle accident lawyers help victims obtain the fair compensation to which they are entitled. If you or a loved one has been injured as a result of another motorist’s negligence, you may be eligible to receive compensation for medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost income, diminished earning capacity property damage and pain and suffering.
In some instances, motorcycle accident claims can be resolved without the assistance of a lawyer. However, when an accident causes serious injury or extensive property damage, an attorney's assistance can be crucial to obtaining just compensation. Often, insurance companies attempt to under represent the value of car accident claims and offer smaller settlements than victims may be rightfully entitled to. Many times, victims who try to handle their own legal affairs after a motorcycle accident are left bearing the majority of the expenses from an accident that was not their fault.
