Motorcycle Accidents in Florida

Whether you ride for fun or use your motorcycle as your primary mode of transportation, you know the risks that come with sharing the road with other drivers. Every year, thousands of motorcyclists are catastrophically injured by negligent, careless, and reckless motorists, and the accident fatality rate is about 35 times higher for motorcyclists than occupants of cars, trucks, and other types of vehicles.

At Zimmerman & Frachtman, P.A., we proudly stand up for the rights of injured motorcyclists and the surviving loved ones of those wrongfully killed. Since 1994, we have recovered more than $300 million in settlements and verdicts for our clients, and we have the experience, resources, and skills to effectively advocate for you, too. With offices in Naples, Boca Raton, Hollywood, and Coral Springs, we serve clients across Florida.

What Are the Most Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents?

Although many people think of motorcyclists as dangerous, risk-taking drivers, the fact is that most motorcycle accidents happen when others are negligent.

Some of the most common causes of motorcycle accidents include:

Motorcycle accidents can also happen due to poor road conditions, inclement weather, defective road design, or motorcycle defects. At Zimmerman & Frachtman, P.A., our Florida motorcycle accident attorneys work with industry experts, such as accident reconstructionists, to investigate how a collision occurred and, most importantly, who is liable for our clients’ damages.

  • Perform regular maintenance on your bike
  • Wear your helmet
  • Don't drive between traffic
  • Avoid road hazards

Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries

Motorcycle riders are simply not as protected as the occupants of other types of motor vehicles. Without heavy steel doors, windows, airbags, and seatbelts, motorcyclists are at risk of sustaining severe or even fatal injuries when they are involved in accidents.

Some of the most common motorcycle accident-related injuries include:

In most cases, injured motorcyclists require emergency medical attention and extensive, ongoing care. The cost of treating these injuries can be immense and, to make matters worse, victims often lose income due to taking time off work to recover after the accident. This can lead to significant financial hardship in addition to immense physical and emotional pain and suffering.

Our Florida motorcycle accident attorneys fight for every last cent our clients are owed. After a serious motorcycle crash, we know how to gather all available evidence and build powerful cases for our clients. Our team is prepared to take on the jury’s misconceptions about motorcycle riders and present your case in a clear, concise, and persuasive way.

How Much Are Motorcycle Accident Claims Worth in Florida?

When you are dealing with massive medical bills, months of missed wages, and other financial challenges related to your accident, we understand that you would want to know how much your case might be worth. Unfortunately, it is not possible to determine the exact value of a claim without knowing the specific details involved.

Because every case is different, the value of a claim can range widely, from several thousand to several million dollars. At Zimmerman & Frachtman, P.A., our attorneys take the time to sit down with every new client and cover the details of their case, answer their questions, and address any concerns they may have. We can discuss the factors that influence the value of your claim, including the severity of your injuries, the extent of your damages, the degree of fault of all involved parties, the available insurance coverage, and more.

How an Attorney Can Help

Navigating the aftermath of any serious accident is difficult, but motorcyclists often face an uphill battle when it comes to being compensated for their current and future damages. This is because many people—including insurance adjusters, judges, and even juries—have an inherent prejudice against motorcyclists. At Zimmerman & Frachtman, P.A., our attorneys know how to counter this prejudice and argue for maximum compensation.
