Motorcycle Accident Lawyer in Florida

Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

Riding a motorcycle in the state of Florida can be a real pleasure that many citizens enjoy. Some use a motorcycle to get to and from work or school, as it is a much cheaper and usually faster form of transportation. However, the chances of getting into an injury accident on a motorcycle are quite high, as the motorcycle is less easy to see, due to the size of it, and it has virtually no protection for the rider other than the helmet, which provides little protection other than to the head. If you have been injured in one of these dangerous accidents, it is strongly advised that you contact a Florida motorcycle accident lawyer to assist you in making your claim. The Distasio Law Firm is very familiar with the common causes of motorcycle accidents, and proving the cause of the accident when fighting for a claim for compensation. Some of the causes of serious motorcycle accidents include:

Inattentive drivers

This is sadly one of the most common causes of serious motorcycle accidents. The driver of the vehicle is not carefully checking their mirrors or shoulder checking before changing lanes and hit the motorcyclist, sending them into traffic.

Illegal lane changes

Some car and truck drivers don't feel it is necessary to signal before they change lanes and will randomly do so, which is a danger not only to motorcyclists but also to the other drivers on the road. When this happens, the motorcyclist can be seriously injured. Head, neck, spine and serious abrasions are often the result. If you or a loved one has been injured in this way, contact the Distasio Law Firm to assist you in making your claim for damages.

Running red lights

Some drivers feel compelled to rush through intersections that have the yellow "caution" light showing, far past the time when they should cross. If a motorcyclist is driving on the cross street and enters the intersection, the driver taking the illegal action can impact them fully on the side causing terrible injury accidents.

Speeding

Speeding drivers are more likely to harm both motorcyclists and other drivers. When speeding, the vehicle operator has a longer stretch of road or street necessary to come to a stop and may hit the motorcyclist from behind or on the side.

Reckless drivers

Those that like to drive while weaving from lane to lane without consideration for other drivers are reckless. This driving behavior can result in dangerous injury accidents.

Aggressive drivers

Some aggressive drivers tend to feel that almost anyone is in their way. They may have an issue with those who ride motorcycles. Whatever their reason is, with aggressive and dangerous driving techniques, the motorcyclist may be seriously injured by their actions.
