Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists are involved in accidents much more frequently than any other motorists on the roadways. A study by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported that a motorcyclist was 39 times more likely to be killed in an accident than other motorists and eight times more likely to be involved in an injury accident (based on 2008 statistics). In 2009, NHTSA reported 4,462 motorcyclists were killed, and some 106,000 motorcyclists were injured.

Because of the lack of safety mechanisms, motorcycle injuries tend to be severe, ranging from brain and spinal cord injuries to amputation or paralysis. If you've lost a loved one or suffered injuries in a motorcycle or all-terrain vehicle accident, the experienced Florida personal injury attorneys at Lewis & Williams can help you recover the rightful compensation you deserve.Apart from the severe and often devastating personal injuries and or death that often comes from a motorcycle accident, the financial losses or damages can be:

•     Medical bills

•     Income loss

•     Rehabilitation

•     Funeral/burial costs

Many personal injury law firms refuse to take cases involving motorcycles or all-terrain vehicles, wrongly assuming that the motorcyclist is at fault. However, at Lewis & Williams PA, our attorneys have recovered millions of dollars in damages for clients who have been injured while properly and legally riding their motorcycle or all-terrain vehicle.

We have aggressively fought the most common defenses in motorcycle accident cases, the motorcycle was speeding or the motorcyclists were not wearing helmets. Fortunately, we have had success overcoming these defenses through our use of nationwide experts. These experts can address the human factors elements of the witnesses that claim they thought the motorcyclist was speeding. In general, our experts have established that it is common for people to perceive that a motorcycle is traveling at a greater rate of speed than it actually is traveling. We have also successfully used conspicuity experts to establish that the at-fault driver violated the Florida Rules of the Road in the operation of their vehicle. With regard to the failure to wear a helmet defense, it is used primarily in Florida motorcycle

accidents that result in traumatic brain injuries.
