Motorcycle Accidents

The Florida Department of Highway Safety & Motor Vehicles reports that 7,367 motorcycle crashes took place in Florida in 2004, resulting in the death of 388 motorcyclists and the injury of 6,558 others. These statistics are further complicated by the fact that Florida does not require motorcycle riders to wear helmets, nor does Florida have any required medical insurance for motorcyclists the way it does for the drivers of cars, buses, and trucks. This makes it even more important to investigate all available insurance coverage for your motorcycle accident claim.

Injuries from a motorcycle accident are frequently severe and can include brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, broken bones, burns, road rash, scratches, bruises, other physical injuries, and death. Recovery from a motorcycle collision can take a very long time. Multiple surgeries, extensive therapy, and long-term care might be required. The emotional and psychological trauma from a motorcycle crash can be permanently scarring.
