Motorcycle Accident

Motorcycle accidents may cause serious harm to the rider. Severe injuries may require extensive medical care, hospitalization, and even surgery. When you are badly hurt, the pain caused by your injuries and the time it takes to heal can be frustrating.

Due to the severity of these injuries, you should seek legal help when pursuing compensation. Motorcycle accident cases can be complex, and without legal representation, you may not recover the full compensation you might be entitled to.

Immediately after a motorcycle accident in West Palm Beach, you should take the following steps:

• Report the accident to the police
• Ask for names and contact information of anyone involved in the accident, as well as any witnesses to the crash.
• Take videos or photos of the vehicles involved in the accident and any details, such as skid marks or missing signs, that could be relevant to your case.
• It is good to seek medical care after an accident, even if you feel ok. The adrenaline produced by your body in a crash can mask the pain of your injuries. If you aren't checked out soon after the accident, you could cause further damage.

Since motorcycles travel on the same roads as cars and trucks, riders can be seriously hurt or killed if an accident happens. In 2021, Florida had 8,614 motorcycle accidents, with 578 fatalities. Palm Beach County had 385 motorcycle accidents with 25 deaths for that same year.

There are several ways a driver could badly hurt a motorcyclist on the road, such as:

• Opening car doors before checking if a motorcyclist is passing by
• Tailgating
• Failure to adhere to rules of the road
• Distracted driving
• Weaving in and out of traffic or not checking blind spots before changing lanes.
• Inexperience
• Driver fatigue or impairment

In some cases, a collision between a moving vehicle and a motorcycle can happen if a driver's view is obstructed. Signs, construction zones, and harsh weather can make it harder to see a motorcycle.

With little protection, motorcyclists can suffer severe, even fatal, injuries if they are hit by a moving vehicle. A motorcycle crash may result in spinal cord damage, internal injuries, road burns, broken bones, loss of limbs, and other disabling injuries. While the rider may have a helmet on, they could still suffer head trauma if they hit their head on the vehicle, pavement, corner, or another hard object.

The debilitating injuries may require extensive medical treatment and recovery time. Beyond the physical pain, the injured party may be under financial duress if they can't work to support their family.

If you didn't cause the accident, you might be eligible for compensation for your injuries. Seeking the help of a best West Palm Beach motorcycle accident attorney can give insight into your rights when you have been hurt.
