Apopka, Florida—known for its proximity to Wekiva Springs State Park, winding suburban roads, and wildlife preservation areas—has become a hotspot for local motorcyclists. However, according to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, Orange County sees hundreds of collisions each year, including 470 in 2020 alone.
The Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine advocates for motorcycle accident claimants. We’ve recovered millions of dollars in damages, and we’re a staple in our local community. Our Apopka personal injury lawyers are ready to recover compensation for your losses. In addition, we offer free case reviews.
What You Can Expect During Your Free Case Review
When you connect with our law firm, you can:
- Ask questions about potential outcomes to your case
- Review your legal options
- Consult our legal team at no obligation
- Learn about our previous successes
- Gain peace of mind about your situation
We can also discuss how much it costs to hire an attorney from our team. We work on contingency, so our clients don’t pay anything upfront for our help. We only receive attorney’s fees if you recover compensation.
We Encourage You to Consider Prompt Legal Representation
Each motorcycle accident case comes with a statutory deadline. Most claimants have four years to file their lawsuits, per Florida Statutes § 95.11(3)(a). However, matters change if you lost a loved one. In that situation, you would have two years to file your wrongful death lawsuit, per Florida Statutes § 95.11(4)(d).
What Happens if You Don’t File Your Case Within the Appropriate Deadline?
The statutory deadline exists for a reason. It allows cases to move through the court system in a timely manner. If you don’t file your lawsuit within the appropriate deadline, the courts will dismiss it with prejudice, meaning:
- You cannot file your case again––even if more information becomes known
- You cannot pursue compensation from the at-fault party
- The insurance company has little incentive to pay for your damages
- You might be on your own to pay for your losses
When you partner with a motorcycle accident lawyer from our firm, we can manage each of your case’s relevant deadlines. We can even explain whether any exceptions change how much time you have to act.
We’re Ready to Recover Your Accident-Related Losses in Apopka
Your case’s value rests on many factors, including your recovery period and the severity of your injuries. We will do everything possible to recover what you’re owed. Compensable losses in your case could take several forms.
Your Past and Future Necessary Medical Expenses
Motorcycle accidents commonly result in head injuries, costing millions of dollars to treat. Other conditions, like broken bones and nerve damage, can also impede your mobility and future.
With our team’s help, we can recover these healthcare expenses:
- Surgery
- Physical therapy
- Psychological counseling
- Medications
- Emergency treatment
- Hospitalization
- Doctors’ visits
- Assistive aids
- In-home services
Your Past and Future Employment-Related Losses
Serious injuries cause you to miss time from work. Compensation in your case could account for lost:
- Income
- Bonuses
- Tips
- Benefits
- Insurance coverage
- Promotions
If your injuries affect your future earning ability, your settlement can also reflect this loss.
Property Damage Expenses
For many motorcyclists, their bikes are their only form of transportation. We can review the cost of your motorcycle’s repairs and its replacement value if necessary.
Pain and Suffering
Florida does not place caps on pain and suffering. This category accounts for one’s past, present, and future injury-related hardships. We will pursue this loss based on various aspects of your case, including your daily pain levels and mental health.
Wrongful Death-Related Losses
We’re deeply sorry if you lost a loved one. Now, we want you to focus on your late loved one’s life and achievements. In the meantime, we will pursue compensation for your loved one’s:
- Funeral expenses, including burial and embalming
- Your loved one’s pain and suffering
- Your loved one’s final healthcare costs
- Loss of consortium, household benefits, and parental guidance
Your motorcycle accident lawyer in Apopka will consider and seek other losses besides those listed here.

- Photos of your injuries and the accident scene
- The physical damage to your motorcycle

Managing All Case-Related Communications
Don’t worry about answering phone calls from the insurance company or responding to emails from the other party’s lawyer. We will manage communications with:
- Eyewitnesses

- Your motorcycle’s repair team
- The other party’s lawyers
- The claims adjuster
We want you to focus on feeling better. We will manage everything your case requires.
Handling All Insurance-Related Matters
Insurance companies are for-profit businesses with one goal: to make money. After filing your claim, you may find yourself dealing with an uncooperative claims adjuster. You might make dozens of phone calls with no answers.
To advance your insurance claim, we will:
- File your case paperwork
- Support your claim with evidence
- Negotiate a settlement
- Review the liable party’s policy
- Calculate your losses
- Protect you from bad faith insurance practices
If the claims adjuster calls you, sends you emails, or asks for a recorded statement, refer them to us.
Fighting for What You Need in a Civil Lawsuit
If we can’t resolve your case through insurance negotiations, we will file a lawsuit against the at-fault party. This entity could be another motorist, government entity, or parts manufacturer.
We will take depositions from witnesses, create a compelling argument, and object to unfair courtroom proceedings.
