Because motorcycles offer less protection from injury than other motor vehicles, motorcycle accidents can have especially serious consequences. Unfortunately, devastating injuries frequently result, including traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, and serious bone fractures. Victims of motorcycle accidents deserve exceptional representation, and accident attorney Coy Browning, serving Fort Walton Beach, Destin, Pensacola, and all of Florida, can help ensure that your rights are protected.
In a study conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in 2004, half of all motorcycle accidents involved a collision with another vehicle. This frequency is likely due in part to the fact that motorcycles are smaller vehicles, and other drivers have trouble seeing them. Often, a passenger vehicle will attempt to change lanes without making sure that there is not a motorcycle in their periphery, resulting in a collision. The fact that motorcycles are harder to see does not, however, excuse other drivers for causing an accident. All drivers on the road have an obligation to exercise caution and be aware of the vehicles around them, regardless of size.
Other factors that can lead to motorcycle accidents include defective parts, road debris, poor weather conditions, and irresponsible driving on the part of the motorcycle driver.
If you have been seriously injured in a motorcycle accident, it is important that you contact an experienced attorney as soon as possible. In order for you to receive compensation, it may be necessary to obtain statements from witnesses to the accident before their memory fades. If you have been the victim of a negligent driver, you may be entitled to significant compensation. It is important that you receive this compensation so that you are not left with medical bills and other expenses.
