We Fight the 'Anti-Biker' Bias for Motorcycle Accident Victims

Motorcycle accidents differ significantly from car accidents. The injuries from a motorcycle accident more often tend to be catastrophic and life-changing due to the vulnerability that motorbike riders have. This means that insurance settlement negotiations must take complex medical information into consideration. Furthermore, motorcycle accident victims sometimes find themselves the secondary victims of "anti-biker bias" because some insurers and juries seem to believe that motorcyclists should share more of the liability themselves, due to the inherent risks involved in motorcycling.

Catastrophic Injuries, Catastrophic Losses

Brain injury, spinal cord injury, skin burns (road rash), leg or foot fractures (which often involve the tibia, fibula, or femur bones), and serious back and neck injuries are common results of serious motorcycle crashes.

After a serious injury, a motorcycle accident victim is likely to be unable to work for some time. He or she will likely require extensive medical care and physical therapy. Special adaptive equipment such as a cane, walker, or a wheelchair may become necessities. Getting to doctors' appointments may result in significant expenses. If a brain injury or spinal cord injury is severe, the person may never be able to work as before.

All of these medical issues should be considered when putting together an insurance settlement proposal. The insurance settlement — or trial and verdict if an acceptable settlement cannot be reached — is the victim's one opportunity to get full and fair compensation for all injuries and losses associated with the accident. Motorcycle accident victims who accept too-quick settlements may find themselves short-changed as expenses continue to pile up but the settlement funds dwindle.

Our Tampa and Gainesville Motorcycle Crash Lawyers Willingly Take on Tough Insurance Matters

Insurance issues can be a major hindrance to motorcycle accident victims. Many motorcyclists have not elected personal injury protection (PIP) insurance, so they have less coverage than drivers of automobiles do. Our lawyers are devoted to helping each client recover the maximum possible compensation after a motorcycle accident.
