Florida Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Experienced Lawyers Know: Motorcycle Accidents Cause Severe Injuries and Damages

Even when they wear a helmet, riders are at an extreme risk of serious injury when involved in a collision. These injuries are often costly and leave a rider with no way to pay for them. A rider’s recoverable damages may include:

• Medical costs: Attorneys account for all medical care injured riders need, which can include ambulance transport, emergency department care, surgeries, X-rays, MRIs, CT scans, and many other services to diagnose and treat injuries. 
• Property repair and replacement costs: If your motorcycle was involved in the accident, you can receive compensation to cover repair or replacement. If you need temporary transportation or had other personal items damaged during the accident, your lawyer will seek fair compensation for related expenses.
• Pain and suffering: Those on motorcycles tend to experience more violent collisions with a higher capacity for trauma. Your recoverable forms of pain and suffering may include short- and long-term pain, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), lost quality of life, and other problems resulting from the accident.
• Mental health treatment costs: Each injured rider faces a unique road to recovery; some may need to seek counseling, take medication, or undergo other treatments for their pain and suffering. Any mental healthcare you need is compensable.
• Professional damages: Because of accident-related injuries and trauma, injured riders can lose income, be unable to earn promotions and bonuses, lose earning capacity, or even become permanently unable to work. These are recoverable damages.
• Damages from long-term or disabling injuries: When riders suffer catastrophic injuries—a devastating outcome that is not rare—they may need lifelong rehab, medical equipment, replacement of lifelong wage losses, and compensation for all these expenses. Your Florida motorcycle accident attorney will account for the effects of any disabling injuries you have suffered.

A Florida catastrophic injury lawyer who understands the substantial and unique challenges riders suffer can be a blessing. They know what damages to look for and how to ensure you are demanding every dollar you need. 

An Attorney Will Handle the Entire Process on Your Behalf If You Have Lost a Loved One 

Riders are, unfortunately, all too likely to pass away if they’re involved in a collision. Even when not hit directly by a motor vehicle, riders may pass away from accident-related injuries. This often leaves surviving loved ones with:

• Debilitating pain and suffering: The grief that follows a fatal motorcycle accident may be unlike any pain the survivors have ever faced, especially if they’ve never lost a loved one suddenly. Florida Statutes § 768.21 allows eligible loved ones to claim compensation for such pain and suffering. 
• Loss of consortium: Loss of a spouse’s companionship is one example of loss of consortium. This kind of non-economic loss is especially important in fatal motorcycle accident cases.
• Lost financial support: A wrongful death often causes crushing financial stress in addition to the grief, emotional anguish, and psychological distress victims experience.

These are just some of the many damages that those affected by fatal motorcycle accidents may receive compensation for.

A Florida wrongful death lawyer can serve many roles. Of course, they fight for the financial recovery you and other affected loved ones may be eligible for. They are also a much-needed form of support and advice during what is, we expect, one of the most difficult times you have ever faced.

• Being on the cutting edge of legal strategy, technology, and resources
• Investing in our cases rather than pinching pennies (sometimes it takes such investment to earn worthwhile outcomes)

Our Firm’s Mission Is to Help You Seek Justice and Make All Communities Safer

When a Florida motorcycle accident lawyer takes your case, their mission is always to seek justice and recover the compensation you need to move forward. That being said, many Florida motorcycle accident lawyers bring extra fight to their case because they’re serving another critical purpose.

Our law firm partners aim to get justice for clients but also want to make the communities they serve safer by holding reckless and careless drivers (and other at-fault parties) accountable.

Former Clients Hold Our Motorcycle Accident Attorneys in High Regard

It’s worth considering what former clients say about The Goldwater Law Firm:

• “I have used Bob Goldwater and The Goldwater Law Firm a couple of times. They have always been very professional and responsive to my needs and concerns. Thank you.”
• “The Goldwater Law Firm was very responsive to my questions and requests and extremely professional, but at the same time were very empathetic regarding my case. It’s difficult to find both of those qualities in attorneys and I found it! I highly recommend The Goldwater Law Firm.”
• “Bob is a fantastic lawyer and very easy to work with. He is dedicated to his clients.”

We have never taken clients for granted, and we never will. Your case will be a top priority when you retain your Florida motorcycle accident lawyer through us.

Tasks Your Florida Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Will Handle for You

The firms we partner with take total control of cases, and this enables you to focus on recovery. Your lawyer will:

• Document the harm you’ve suffered due to at-fault parties, which often requires us to obtain medical records, consult various experts, detail your pre- and post-accident income, and prove your damages in other ways
• Obtain all available proof of negligence, such as witness testimony, accident scene photos, and video of the accident
• Fight for the financial recovery you may be eligible for, even if that means proceeding to trial

A lawyer’s job is far more complex than we could explain here. Just know that your attorney and their team will fight for you aggressively while taking all case-related responsibilities off your hands.
