If a motor cycle accident occurs, state law requires that certain procedures
must be followed. No matter who was at fault in a two motorcycle accident, both
parties must stop at the scene. Make sure to exchange names and addresses and
insurance company information. You should also call the police. The resulting
police report will include details of the accident including damages and
injuries. If someone has been injured, you should get a copy of the report as
verification.
Many states require that an accident report be filed with the department of
motor vehicles within a certain time period. You should also report the accident
to your insurance company immediately, even if no one was injured. If later, a
claim is made against you as a result of the automobile accident, your insurance
company may be obligated to provide an attorney for your defense. If you're
personally contacted by the other party or their lawyer you should refer all
correspondence to your insurance company. You shouldn't deal directly with
anyone who claims to be injured or damaged as a result of the accident. However,
if you feel you have been injured as a result of someone else's negligence, you
should immediately seek the advice of an experienced personal injury attorney.
With the freedom and excitement motorcycle riders enjoy comes the risk of
serious injury in an accident. Despite the consistent warnings drivers receive
to “start seeing motorcycles,” thousands of people across Florida are injured in
motorcycle accidents. If you have been involved in an accident, you can benefit
from immediate representation from an experienced motorcycle accident lawyer .
Do not let the insurance company put their financial interests in front of yours
and try to get a quick, cheap settlement.
MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT STATISTICS:
Injuries and fatalities by motorcycle riders are unfortunately, on the rise.
There were 4,810 deaths and over 88,000 injuries involving motorcycle riders in
2006 alone. This is more than a 5 percent increase from the previous year and
wrecks like these account for over 11 percent of all traffic fatalities. A
motorcycle rider is 37 times more likely to die in a crash than an occupant of
an automobile. It is estimated that 137,000 motorcyclists have died since the
Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1996.
Here in Flroida while many riders enjoy the hospitable weather, many
unfortunatley are struck dead while enjoying their casual motorcycle ride. The
state of florida is among the deadliest state for motorcycle enthusiest in the
United States.
Approximately 51 percent of all fatal motorcycle crashes were caused by the
rider colliding with another type of motor vehicle. When two vehicles were
involved, the motorcycle was impacted on its front 79 percent of the time. Only
5 percent of the time was the motorcycle hit on its rear.
