Motorcycles provide a level of excitement and freedom that driving a car simply can’t match. Many riders love being able to ride down the open highway, feeling the wind at their back.

If you or a loved one were involved in a motorcycle accident, help is available when you call us at Warner & Fitzmartin – Personal Injury Lawyers to schedule a consultation with our Delray Beach, FL motorcycle accident lawyer!

Delray Beach, FL Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Motorcycle crashes can happen for many reasons, but often they’re a direct result of a driver’s negligence or recklessness. Issues like distracted driving, driving while under the influence, and engaging in reckless driving, like running a red light, can all be causes. These risks can also be influenced by poor road conditions, bad weather, and driving at night.

Many drivers will fail to spot a rider until it’s too late, and since motorcycle riders have fewer protections, being struck by a car can be fatal. Even at low speeds, a car can send a rider flying, resulting in them hitting the hard pavement. After hitting the hard pavement, they can suffer from problems like road rash, fractured bones, internal bleeding, and sometimes even spinal cord damage or traumatic brain injuries.

Victims need to seek medical care immediately following a motorcycle accident. After that, the next step is often to file a claim with the insurance company. The sad reality is, however, that insurance companies typically have a bias against motorcycle riders. It’s not uncommon for insurance adjusters to claim that the rider was the one at fault and to deny their claim due to this bias.
