Florida Lawyers for Motorcycle Accidents
The odds of being more seriously injured in a motorcycle accident are greater than in many other motor vehicle accidents. Because motorcyclists go without many of the basic protections available to car and truck drivers, they often experience life-changing injuries.
At Walker Law Group, in Clearwater, Florida, we represent motorcyclists who have been seriously injured in motorcycle accidents, including the ones listed below:
- Scarring and disfigurement
- Head injury/traumatic brain injury
- Spinal cord injury
- Lost limbs/amputation
- Broken bones/fractures
Our clients include motorcycle passengers, who typically sustain injuries when they are thrown from the bike in a crash. They also include the surviving families of motorcyclists killed in fatal accidents on the road.
Motorcycle Accidents and Health Insurance
Laws on insurance coverage vary from state to state. Florida is essentially a "no fault" state, which means that injured parties recover damages up to a specific amount against their own insurance companies. No-fault coverage, however, does not extend to motorcyclists.
As a result, injured motorcyclists often worry about how to get necessary healthcare and how that care will be paid for. The attorneys at Walker Law Group can help. We can often refer injured motorcyclists to doctors who are willing to delay payment until after a lawsuit is favorably settled or a jury verdict is obtained.
