Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in Florida
Negligence of other motorists often results in most motorcycle accidents in Florida. Common causes are:
Speeding
Speeding motorcyclists, particularly the young or inexperienced ones, are the main culprits behind motorcycle accidents.
Drunk Driving
Drunk driving is the top cause of motorcycle fatalities, with nearly 27% of fatal accidents.
Distracted Driving
Distracted motorists might not see other motorcycles. They are usually distracted by using their phone or any other distraction.
Unsafe Lane Changes
Drivers who fail to signal or look in their blind spots are likely to collide with other drivers. Such collisions most often occur during a lane change.
Left-hand Turns
Motorcycle crashes are frequently caused by left-hand turns. This happens when another vehicle is turning to the left into the path of a motorcyclist.
Types of Motorcycle Injuries We Handle
Motorcyclists face more risks than other drivers due to the lack of a protective shell afforded by other vehicles. So when motorcycles crash, the driver can get severely injured by:
Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injury occurs even with a helmet and results in lifelong cognitive or physical disabilities.
Spinal Cord and Spinal Injury
Such an injury can cause paralysis or disabilities. Whiplash and other spinal injuries are also typical in motorcycle crashes.
Burns and Road Rash
Skin burns and road rash can result from contact with pavement and other hard surfaces during motorcycle crashes.
Amputations
Some motorcycle accidents are so severe they result in the loss of a limb. When this happens, the driver can become permanently disabled.
Fractures and Broken Bones
Motorcycle crashes tend to cause broken bones upon impact on hard surfaces such as the road or other vehicles.

How Long Do You Have to File a Claim After a Motorcycle Accident in Florida?
