We know that you’re facing hospital bills and costs to repair your bike.

A Negligent Motorist May Have Caused or Contributed to Your Motorcycle Accident
Before we can pursue compensation for the damages you suffered in your motor vehicle accident, we must show another party acted negligently and caused the accident. To prove this negligence, we must understand how motorcycle accidents commonly occur and the details about your crash.
In most cases, the at-fault party in any motor vehicle accident breaks a traffic law. Lawmakers design traffic laws to keep everyone on the road safe. Breaking one of these laws endangers others and sometimes leads to a collision. The bad behaviors that often lead to motorcycle accidents include:
- Pulling out in front of traffic
- Speeding
- Cutting off other motorists
- Failure to use turn signals
- Distracted or drunk driving
Often, the police report will tell us enough about your accident to clearly identify the liable party or parties. While we still need to collect other evidence to support your case, this is a good start to filing a claim and recovering the money you need to pay for your medical treatment, lost income, and the emotional toll of living with serious injuries.
What Can You Expect Out of Our Motorcycle Accident Team Throughout the Claims Process?
While you could try to manage the legal process on your own, many accident victims find it easier to focus on their health while a motorcycle accident attorney handles the process for you. When you hire our firm, we will:
Build Your Case and Collect Evidence
After our initial consultation, we go to work building a strong case to support your right to a fair settlement. This includes collecting evidence that would be difficult or impossible to get your hands on without an attorney.
We schedule interviews with any available eyewitnesses to the accident, request any images or video of the crash from nearby businesses, and even enlist the help of accident reconstruction experts to show us exactly how your crash occurred and why.
Demand Your Compensation
After we build a case to bolster your claim, we send a demand letter to the other driver’s auto insurance provider. This letter outlines the evidence we hold as well as the damages you suffered and gives them a price for fair compensation. Usually, they respond with a much lower settlement than we request. This begins a negotiation process that can last a few days or a few months. It continues until one party refuses to negotiate any further or we reach a fair settlement.
Negotiate for the Settlement You Deserve
Sometimes, the insurance company refuses to budge from their lowball offers. We continue to aggressively pursue a fair amount of compensation based on the details of your accident and injuries. If this means we need to litigate your case, we will not back down. We can file a personal injury suit in civil court and let a judge determine your award.
What If You Are Partially at Fault for Your Motorcycle Crash in Boca Raton?
Florida has a comparative fault law that restricts the amount of compensation you can collect if you contributed to causing the accident or your injuries. This law reduces your payout depending on the percentage of the fault you share. For example, if your damages reach $100,000 but the court determines you are 30 percent responsible for the accident, you could only collect $70,000.
Bikers have a bad reputation for reckless driving, which is oftentimes unwarranted. However, you can expect the insurance company and their legal team to look into your behavior just before the crash, as well. They will look for any evidence of:
- Reckless driving
- Lane splitting
- Swerving or weaving
- Speeding
- Failure to use lights or turn signals
- Violating other traffic laws
If there is proof you engaged in any of these careless actions just before or during the crash, the responding officer will likely note it in the official report. Our personal injury attorneys can challenge an insurance adjuster’s determination of fault and present evidence against a negligent driver.
It is important to note that one of the most common reasons the insurance company will accuse you of contributing to your own injuries is if you were not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. While riding without a helmet is legal for those over 21 years old, insurance adjusters will still claim you failed to take all possible action to prevent your injuries. This could reduce your payout significantly. If you were not wearing a helmet when you suffered serious injuries, you need to let us know as early as possible in your case.
You Have a Time Limit for Filing Your Motorcycle Accident Lawsuit in Boca Raton
Your lawyer will explain your legal options for seeking financial compensation when you hire our firm. Often, accident victims decide to file a personal injury lawsuit to demand the compensation they need.
If you plan to file a lawsuit, you must do so on time. In Boca Raton, the statute of limitations states that you generally only have two years to submit a lawsuit. This is outlined in Florida Statutes § 95.11. Similarly, you typically have two years to file a wrongful death lawsuit if you lost a loved one in a fatal motorcycle accident.
