Boca Raton Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
A motorcycle accident can cause devastating injuries in an instant. Without the protection of an enclosed vehicle, riders may face serious injuries, extensive medical treatment, time away from work, and a difficult recovery.
Daniel Sagiv Law Group represents people injured in motorcycle accidents throughout Boca Raton and South Florida. Clients work directly with Daniel and receive personal attention, clear communication, and focused representation throughout the legal process.
Motorcycle Accident Representation With Direct Access to Daniel
Motorcycle accident claims can present challenges that are different from ordinary car accident cases. Serious injuries can increase the stakes of the claim, while disputes over how the collision happened or who was responsible can complicate the insurance process.
Daniel works directly with clients to understand the accident, investigate the available evidence, document the impact of the injuries, and develop a strategy based on the circumstances of the case.
Direct Access
to Daniel
Clients communicate directly with Daniel and remain informed as their case progresses.
Case-Specific
Strategy
Every motorcycle crash is different. The investigation and legal strategy are developed around the facts of the accident, the injuries involved, and the available insurance coverage.
Focus on Serious Injuries
Motorcycle crashes can result in injuries requiring surgery, rehabilitation, ongoing treatment, or long-term care. The full effect of those injuries should be considered when evaluating a claim.
Clear
Communication
Daniel explains the process, answers questions, and helps clients understand the decisions that may arise throughout the case.
Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
Many motorcycle crashes occur because another driver fails to see a motorcycle or safely account for a rider on the road.
Common causes of motorcycle accidents include:
Drivers making unsafe left turns
Unsafe lane changes
Failure to check mirrors or blind spots
Distracted driving
Speeding or reckless driving
Following a motorcycle too closely
Failure to yield the right of way
Running red lights or stop signs
Drunk or impaired driving
Vehicles entering or exiting driveways or parking lots
Determining how an accident occurred can require reviewing police reports, photographs, witness information, vehicle damage, available video footage, and other evidence.
Injuries Caused by Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcyclists have little physical protection when a collision occurs. As a result, motorcycle crashes can cause severe or life-changing injuries even at speeds that might produce less serious injuries in an enclosed vehicle.
Motorcycle accident injuries may include:
Head and traumatic brain injuries
Neck and back injuries
Spinal cord injuries
Fractures and broken bones
Shoulder and knee injuries
Internal injuries
Nerve damage
Severe road rash and scarring
Permanent impairment
Paralysis
Some injuries require surgery, rehabilitation, or ongoing medical treatment. Others may affect a person's ability to work, live independently, or participate in activities they previously enjoyed.
Understanding the long-term consequences of an injury can be an important part of determining the potential value of a motorcycle accident claim.
How a Boca Raton Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Can Help
A motorcycle accident claim can involve questions about fault, insurance coverage, medical evidence, and the long-term consequences of serious injuries.
Daniel Sagiv Law Group can help by:
Investigating the Accident
Reviewing police reports, photographs, witness information, vehicle damage, available video footage, and other evidence that may help establish how the collision occurred.
Identifying Responsible Parties and Insurance Coverage
Determining which drivers, businesses, insurance policies, or other parties may be responsible for the accident and resulting injuries.
Dealing With Insurance Companies
Communicating with insurers and responding to disputes about liability, injuries, or the value of the claim.
Documenting the Impact of the Injury
Gathering medical records, treatment information, lost-income documentation, and other evidence showing how the accident has affected the client's life.
Evaluating Available Compensation
Considering medical expenses, future treatment needs, lost income, diminished earning ability, pain and suffering, and other losses that may be recoverable.
Preparing the Case for Resolution
Pursuing the claim through negotiation and, when necessary, litigation.
Florida Motorcycle Accident Insurance and Liability Issues
Motorcycle accident claims can involve insurance issues that differ from those arising from ordinary passenger-vehicle accidents. Determining what coverage is available may require reviewing the policies of the motorcycle rider, the at-fault driver, and potentially other responsible parties.
Liability may also be disputed. An insurance company may question how the collision occurred, whether the motorcyclist contributed to the accident, or whether the claimed injuries resulted from the crash.
A careful investigation can help establish what happened and identify the insurance coverage that may be available.
What Compensation May Be Available?
Potential compensation may include:
Medical
Expenses
Hospital care, surgery, physician visits, diagnostic testing, rehabilitation, medications, and other accident-related treatment.
Future
Medical Care
Treatment, therapy, medical equipment, or other care that may be necessary in the future.
Lost
Income
Income lost while an injured person is unable to work.
Reduced
Earning Capacity
Losses resulting from injuries that affect a person's ability to return to the same work or earn the same income.
Pain
& Suffering
Compensation for the physical pain and broader effects of the injuries.
Property Damage
Damage to the motorcycle and other personal property resulting from the collision.
The value of a motorcycle accident claim depends on the evidence and circumstances of the individual case.
What to Do After a Motorcycle Accident
The steps taken after a motorcycle crash can affect both your health and the evidence available for a potential injury claim.
Seek Medical Attention
Motorcycle accidents can cause serious injuries, and some injuries may not be immediately apparent. Appropriate medical evaluation is important after a crash.
Report the Accident
Contact law enforcement and make sure the accident is properly reported.
Preserve Evidence
If possible, photograph the vehicles, motorcycle, roadway, injuries, debris, traffic controls, and surrounding area.
Get Witness Information
Obtain names and contact information from anyone who saw the accident.
Keep Records
Save medical records, bills, insurance correspondence, photographs, repair information, and documentation of missed work.
Be Careful With Insurance Communications
Insurance companies may request statements or information shortly after an accident. Consider obtaining legal advice before making detailed statements about the crash or your injuries.
