Motorcycle Accident Statistics in Florida

Motorcycle accidents are unfortunately common here in Florida. There were over 8,000 motorcycle crashes in Florida in 2021, a 7.51% increase from the year before. Fatalities were reported in 621 of those 8,000+ motorcycle accidents, including 37 motorcycle passengers. It’s no wonder that we get calls from people involved in motorcycle accidents in central Florida almost every day.

Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in Tampa Bay

Motorcycle accidents can be caused by one or multiple causes. Driver error on the part of both the motorcyclist and other drivers is the main cause of motorcycle accidents. Other causes may include:

  • Speeding
  • Distracted drivers
  • Poor road conditions
  • Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
  • Lane splitting
  • Improper lane changes
  • Unsafe left-hand turns

Common Injuries Sustained in Florida Motorcycle Accidents

Here at Esposito Law, we’ve seen all kinds of injuries as a result of motorcycle accidents. Some of the most common injuries our clients deal with include:

  • Road rash
  • Soft tissue injuries
  • Burns
  • Fractures & broken bones
  • Spinal injuries & paralysis
  • TBI & other brain injuries
  • Musculoskeletal injuries
  • Nervous system damage
  • Amputations

While wearing a helmet is a great way to lessen the effect of some of these injuries, just because you weren’t wearing a helmet isn’t a reason you shouldn’t receive compensation for your motorcycle accident-related injuries. No matter what injuries you’ve sustained or what the circumstances of the accident were, Esposito Law will fight to get you the full amount of financial compensation you deserve after your motorcycle accident.

What to Do After a Motorcycle Accident in Tampa, Fl

Being in an accident can be scary and overwhelming, especially on a motorcycle. That’s because you don’t have the same protections surrounding you that you do in a vehicle, so you’re more exposed and vulnerable to injury. If you’re in a motorcycle accident, follow these steps to keep yourself safe and protect your future interests:

  • Call 9-1-1
  • Check yourself for injuries
  • If possible, check others involved in the accident
  • Document the scene and damage to vehicles
  • Exchange contact and insurance information
  • Go to the emergency room for evaluation and treatment
  • Hire an experienced attorney
  • File an insurance claim
  • Negotiate a fair settlement for your injuries
  • If required, go to court to fight for what you deserve

There are many different categories of costs and expenses that you can include in your motorcycle accident injury claim, including:

  • Medical bills related to the accident, both current and future
  • Lost income
  • Long-term earning impairment
  • Property damage
  • Mental trauma
  • Pain and suffering
  • Lessened quality of life
  • Disfigurement
  • Permanent scarring
  • Punitive damages

Every motorcycle accident case is different, and the settlement amount you may receive depends on many factors, including:

  • How much of the expenses are covered by insurance
  • Cause and fault determination
  • Proof of negligence
  • Severity of injuries
  • Special circumstances of the accident
  • Long-term impacts of the accident and injuries

For an estimate of how much you could receive in your Florida motorcycle accident case, contact Esposito Law at 877-ESPO-LAW.

We recommend seeking the services of a qualified motorcycle accident injury attorney like Esposito Law as soon as possible after your motorcycle accident. This gives you plenty of time to work with the attorney to investigate the cause of the accident and gather as much evidence as possible. You have four years from the date of the accident to file your case in Florida courts before the statute of limitations expires. In some cases, such as those involving death, in which the case must be filed much sooner. Always consult with an attorney to find out exactly what timeline you are facing when filing your motorcycle accident case.

Even if you’re partially at fault for the motorcycle accident in which you were injured, you may still be eligible to receive compensation. A judge will use the pure comparative negligence methodology to assign each person involved a percentage of responsibility. That percentage will be used to adjust their settlement award. So if you’re injured in a motorcycle accident and a judge determines that you were 30% responsible for causing the accident, you will receive 70% of the total calculated for your injuries, expenses, and damages.

Here at Esposito Law in Tampa, our clients never pay a cent unless they win their case. We believe that even people in tight financial situations deserve fair representation and compensation for their motorcycle accident injuries. When our clients do win, we typically charge between 30-40% of their total settlement amount.

Yes! Even if you had no responsibility for causing the motorcycle accident, you still need an attorney to help you get all the compensation you deserve. Many people aren’t aware of all the different things you can be compensated for after a motorcycle accident, so if they just accept an offer from the insurance company, they’re almost surely leaving money on the table. An experienced motorcycle accident attorney like Esposito Law will get you every dollar you’re entitled to for your motorcycle accident injuries.

The length of your motorcycle accident case will depend on the details, like the severity of your injuries and the long-term impact those injuries will have on your future earning potential. Some cases are wrapped up in a few months, while others take years to finish. Contact us at 877-ESPO-LAW for a free review of your case and an estimated timeline.
