Injured in a Motorcycle Accident with a Pedestrian?

Motorcycles are a fun form of transportation and are becoming ever more popular, particularly for young people who are reducing expenses and using a motorcycle to get to and from college, work or other activity. The huge number of motorcycles of all types that are now on the streets and highways in the Florida area leads to an increase in motorcycle injury cases, including a motorcycle accident that comes about when the motorcyclist hits a pedestrian. These cases can cause serious injuries in both parties. Law enforcement may consider that the motorcyclist was at fault, and certainly in some cases this is true. However, in other cases, a pedestrian causes the accident by stepping out directly in front of a moving motorcycle causing the rider to be forced to swerve and often hit another car or stationary item and suffer terrible injuries.

When determining who is at fault in an accident, it is vital that any witnesses are interviewed immediately by a Florida motorcycle accident lawyer who is protecting the rights of the motorcyclist. The first step any person involved in such an accident should do, after dealing with any medical emergency that comes out of the accident, is to contact the Distasio Law Firm and speak with an attorney and get legal representation.

Motorcycle riders can be blamed for accidents that occur merely because of their mode of transportation. Luckily, as there are so many more riders in the current day, this viewpoint of those who use this mode of transportation is changing, but generally it is assumed that motorcyclists speed or ride dangerously. Studies show that this is not the case; in fact the median speed of motorcyclists in fatal accidents has been proven to be 29 mph - hardly speeding. Overcoming the viewpoint about the responsibility level of the motorcyclist is part of the work of a skilled personal injury attorney from the Distasio Law Firm when dealing with a motorcycle/pedestrian accident. You can rest assured that the attorney will fight relentlessly on behalf of the injured client in such accidents.
