Why Motorcycle Accident Claims Can Be Complex
Motorcyclists often face unique legal challenges in motorcycle accident claims due to various factors inherent to riding a motorcycle. Some of these challenges include:
- Bias and Prejudice: There can be a bias against motorcyclists among insurance adjusters, jurors, and even law enforcement. Some people may hold stereotypes about motorcyclists being reckless or irresponsible, which can affect how they perceive fault in an accident.
- Visibility: Motorcycles are smaller and less visible than other vehicles on the road, making it easier for other drivers to overlook them or misjudge their speed and distance. This can complicate determining liability in an accident, especially if the other driver claims not to have seen the motorcyclist.
- Serious Injuries: Motorcycle accidents often result in more severe injuries compared to accidents involving other types of vehicles due to the lack of protection for riders. Severe injuries can lead to higher medical expenses, long-term disability, and loss of income, increasing the stakes in the legal process.
- Comparative Negligence: Florida has comparative negligence laws, which means that the compensation a motorcyclist receives can be reduced if they are found to be partially at fault for the accident. Insurance companies may try to assign a percentage of fault to the motorcyclist to minimize their liability.
- Limited Insurance Coverage: Motorcyclists may have limited insurance coverage compared to drivers of other vehicles, especially when it comes to uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. This can make it more challenging to recover compensation, particularly if the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured.
- Complexity of Motorcycle Dynamics: Understanding the dynamics of motorcycle accidents requires specialized knowledge of how motorcycles operate and respond to different road conditions. Proving liability and demonstrating the cause of an accident often requires the expertise of accident reconstruction specialists and other professionals.
