Compassionate Representation To Help Injured Motorcyclists Recover
Considering all the reckless and negligent drivers out there and given that some drivers have difficulty noticing motorcyclists altogether, it is no wonder that motorcycle riders are much more likely to experience a motor vehicle accident than drivers of any other vehicle. Regardless of how common these accidents are, the victims of these crashes still deserve fair and full compensation for their injuries.
At Piccin & Glynn, our attorneys are proud to help injured cyclists and drivers pursue the outcomes they deserve in their personal injury claims. Our lawyers have more than 70 combined years of experience representing clients throughout the Ocala community and have regularly recovered settlements and verdicts worth millions of dollars.
Understanding The Common Types Of Motorcycle Accident Injuries
Collisions between motor vehicles and motorcycles can cause many types of injuries, including:
- Head injuries: The force of the impact between car and motorcycle usually throws riders off their bikes, sometimes causing traumatic brain injuries (TBI). In many cases, a TBI can occur even if the rider is wearing a helmet and their skull is not broken or cracked. That’s because the relatively “soft” brain can hit inside the “hard” skull so violently after impact, it causes traumatic brain injury.
- Biker’s arm: When riders fall off their bikes, they naturally extend their arms to break their falls. In high-speed collisions, there is simply too much force. As a result, victims often sustain permanent nerve damage to their arms. The same is true for legs.
- Internal injuries: These same forces can cause internal damage to organs. Most first responders primarily focus on external trauma wounds. Internal bleeding may go unchecked for several minutes or even much longer.
In Florida, you may be entitled to seek compensation for these and other injuries, which we will further explain below.
Seeking The Fair And Full Compensation You Need
The aftermath of your motorcycle accident can leave you with a lifetime of complications, and our team believes that the settlement from your compensation claim should reflect damages for both the current and future consequences of the wreck – not just for what you are experiencing now. Fair compensation should include:
- Lost income and your loss of earning potential
- Current medical bills and the cost of future treatments
- Renovation and relocation fees to adapt to your disabilities
- Loss of consortium (long-term personal relationships)
- Pain and suffering
These claims are not a quick cash grab for our Florida lawyers; they are about helping our clients and community recover from the wrongs that someone inflicted on them. Our experienced team is ready to fight for you through any negotiation and litigation necessary to resolve your motor vehicle claim.
