How to File a Motorcycle Accident Claim in Florida
After a typical car accident, most injured Florida motorists can turn to their personal injury protection (PIP) coverage for compensation, regardless of who was to blame for the crash. However, motorcycle accidents do not fall under the state’s no-fault system. This means that injured motorcyclists must file standard personal injury claims against at-fault parties in order to secure compensation for their damages.
To bring a personal injury claim after a motorcycle accident, you will need to prove the following elements:
- Another motorist or some other person or party owed you a duty of care
- The other party breached the duty of care (typically by acting negligently or unlawfully)
- The other party’s breach of the duty of care was the proximate cause of your injuries
- You suffered measurable damages (economic and/or non-economic)
Why Are Motorcycle Accident Claims So Complex?
Injured motorcyclists face several unique challenges when it comes to recovering compensation after an accident. First, many people share a common misconception that motorcycle riders are reckless or frequently engage in dangerous driving behaviors, such as speeding or weaving in and out of traffic. Even though this is not true, it takes a skilled attorney to effectively challenge an insurance adjuster, judge, or jury’s prejudice.
Additionally, motorcyclists tend to suffer catastrophic injuries when they are hit by larger, heavier vehicles, like cars, SUVs, and trucks. Such injuries often require extensive, ongoing medical treatment and they may result in temporary or permanent disability. This can leave victims unable to return to work and no longer able to earn a living to support themselves or their families. On top of this, these injuries often lead to immense physical pain and emotional suffering, affecting the victim’s overall quality of life. An attorney with the right experience will be able to properly evaluate the full extent of your damages and present this to the insurance company or, if necessary, a jury.
