Motorcyclists enjoy Florida because of its diverse scenery and warm weather, but safety is always a concern. Despite their good intentions to drive safely and protect others sharing the road, many motorists do not see bikers because they have a smaller presence.
That is not an excuse for causing an accident. The duty to drive safely is owed by all drivers to all others, no matter what they are driving. If you are affected by injuries from motorcycle accidents in Clermont, you face a long recovery, great pain, and the inability to work while you heal. Our motorcycle accident attorneys are compassionate advocates when you need guidance about what to do next.
Motorcycle Accidents Cause Severe Injuries
The odds of walking away from a motorcycle accident unscathed are far lower than being carried away in an ambulance. Catastrophic injuries typically affect at least one part of the body and, often, the entire body. Some common injuries sustained in Clermont motorcycle accidents include:
- Traumatic brain injuries that diminish cognitive ability, sometimes for a lifetime
- Paralysis that could be partial or complete, severely limiting future activity and forcing injured bikers into rehabilitation for the rest of their lives, as well as necessitating daily living help and retrofitting their homes and vans
- Broken bones, generally in multiples, can impair mobility for a long time and may cause recurring pain for years, if not for a lifetime
- Crushed organs that lead to internal bleeding and possibly rehabilitative care well into the future
- Disfigurement can occur even if the accident is minor and the motorcyclist suffers only road rash
- Emotional, mental, and psychological trauma, such as depression, loss of consortium, and post-traumatic stress syndrome
Physical and mental trauma are compensated in negligence cases, as well as the loss of personal property.
Some actions can help bikers lessen these injuries, like wearing a helmet and driving sober, although motorcyclists 21 or older do not have to wear helmets if they carry at least $10,000 in personal injury insurance. No matter how responsible motorcyclists are, all it takes is one irresponsible motorist to change their fate forever.
How Our Attorneys Interact With Injured Motorcyclists
Because motorcycle accident injuries will also devastate those involved financially, a knowledgeable Clermont attorney gets to know each client and their needs before calculating how much they may need to pay medical and household bills and replace wages while recuperating. The attorney a client hires is the one who will see them through the entire personal injury lawsuit process. Unlike larger firms, we believe it is important for an attorney to spend quality time with and reassure those who have chosen us to help them while providing the best possible legal representation.
