The Port Charlotte motorcycle collision attorneys with Parker Waichman LLP understand the pain, the loss, and the uncertainty their motorcycle accident clients face after a crash.

Doing so ensures that Parker Waichman LLP’s clients receive all of the financial compensation to which they may be eligible to receive.

Parker Waichman LLP’s Port Charlotte Motorcycle accident lawyers fight aggressively to protect the rights of their clients. Many insurance companies claims adjusters and defense attorneys will downplay the rider’s injuries and shift blame to the motorcyclist, away from the person whose negligence caused the crash. Parker Waichman LLP’s Port Charlotte motorcycle collision lawyers will rely upon their collective knowledge, skill, and experience to squarely place the blame where it belongs: on the driver who caused the crash.

Motorcycle Accidents in Port Charlotte, Florida

Riding a motorcycle in Port Charlotte can be an efficient mode of transportation. However, the risk of suffering a severe injury in a motorcycle accident increases exponentially when navigating through streets and avenues choked with pedestrians, taxis, trucks, bicyclists, and tour buses. A motorcycle rider must be vigilant at all times and anticipate danger coming around every corner. Even the most cautious, experienced motorcycle riders will find themselves teetering on the edge of catastrophe when riding through Port Charlotte .

Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries

The design of motorcycles does not allow for the protection of a rider involved in an accident. Motorcycle riders must rely on their skill and experience and avoid collisions. Collision avoidance is a rider’s only safety mechanism. Wearing appropriate clothing and a helmet may reduce the potential severity of some injuries in a crash but cannot eliminate them.

Parker Waichman LLP’s Port Charlotte motorcycle accident lawyers have extensive experience handling injury claims such as:

  • Wrongful death,
  • Amputation or loss of bodily function,
  • Traumatic brain injury,
  • Broken bones and fractures,
  • Dislocated limbs,
  • Spinal cord injuries,
  • Paralysis, and
  • Road injuries such as lacerations and contusions.

Motorcycle riders are at an elevated risk of injury because of the nature of motorcycle crashes. The rider can suffer an injury upon initial impact with a vehicle, for example. Then falling to the ground can cause more extensive injuries or cause additional injuries. For example, a car could strike a rider in a T-bone collision. The impact with the car might shatter the rider’s leg. However, the rider could suffer a traumatic head injury in the crash because the rider’s head struck the ground even though the car did not impact the head initially.

Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in Port Charlotte

Analysis conducted of motorcycle accidents in Port Charlotte  conducted by the Port Charlotte  Department of Transportation reveals that lack of visibility is the most-often cited reason for a motorcycle collision. Lack of visibility is a more significant threat on the city streets than highways and tunnels, where fewer accidents occur.

Lack of visibility contributes to several varieties of accidents including:

  • T-bone crashes at intersections,
  • Rear-end crashes,
  • Sideswipe, and
  • Opening a door into traffic.

The question Parker Waichman LLP’s Port Charlotte motorcycle crash lawyers will ask is why did the driver have a limited view of the road? One answer could be they were distracted because they were texting while driving, playing with the radio, looking at something other than the road, or a taxicab driver could be on the telephone.

Driving after consuming alcohol or drugs, driver inexperience, unsafe lanes changes, and ignoring traffic signals are also common causes for motorcycle accidents in Port Charlotte .

Proving Liability in a Port Charlotte Motorcycle Collision

Legal liability for motorcycle accidents invokes the law of negligence. Negligence, at bottom, asks whether a person acted carelessly when the circumstances required the person to be careful, and if so, did the person’s carelessness cause an injury for which the victim suffered economic damages?

Parker Waichman LLP’s Port Charlotte motorcycle accident lawyers understand the complexities involved in proving the negligence of another. In some cases, liability is certain, and the case comes down to the appropriate amount of damages. However, some cases involve a close examination of the relative fault of each party. Some cases involve third parties who were not involved in the crash itself but may have committed an act that set the chain of events in motion.

How Florida’s No-Fault Law Applies to Motorcycle Accidents

Florida’s No-Fault Law requires accident victims to seek reimbursement for losses suffered in a collision from that person’s auto insurer unless that person can meet one of the statutory exceptions. Motorcycle accidents do not fall under the purview of Florida’s No-Fault Law.

Statutes of Limitations in Florida Motorcycle Accident Claims

Statutes of Limitations vary across the nation. Parker Waichman LLP’s Port Charlotte motorcycle accident lawyers understand the relevant statutes of limitations that could affect their clients’ claims and will make certain that they meet the deadlines imposed by the applicable statutes of limitations.

Florida imposes a three-year statute of limitations on personal injury claims. However, if a city or state vehicle is involved in the motorcycle accident, then other deadlines apply due to the operation of city and state tort claims acts laws. Therefore, contacting Parker Waichman LLP as soon as possible after a Port Charlotte motorcycle accident is vital to the success of any claim.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Port Charlotte Motorcycle Accident Claims

What type of award can I receive?

Financial compensation for a successful Port Charlotte motorcycle accident claim will depend on the nature of the incident. In particular, the severity of the injuries, the medical costs accumulated, the lost wages, time spent convalescing from the injuries, permanency of the injuries, and the mental anguish, or pain and suffering a crash victim experienced all figure into the potential recovery.

It is important to know that each case is different, but that Parker Waichman LLP’s Port Charlotte motorcycle accident lawyers will aggressively pursue the most considerable amount of compensation available.

Will you charge attorneys’ fees?

Parker Waichman LLP does not charge attorney’s fees. They employ a contingency fee schedule so that they absorb the risk of loss if they do not recover damages for their clients. The firm will also advance the costs of litigation to their clients. Parker Waichman LLP’s clients never pay out of their pocket for anything.

How long do I have to wait for a settlement?

The length of time a client must wait for a settlement check depends on the individual case. However, Parker Waichman LLP’s motorcycle accident lawyers will fight to obtain your settlement as quickly as possible without compromising their client’s rights.
