Why Motorcycle Accidents Are So Dangerous
Many big cities like Miami and Atlanta have become hubs for motorcycle enthusiasts. Miami’s scenic coastal roads and year-round warm weather, for example, make riding popular. Sadly, Florida also ranks number one in the U.S. for motorcycle accidents and fatalities. Nearly 80% of motorcycle accidents result in serious injury or death.
Unlike cars, motorcycles lack seat belts, airbags, and crumple zones. Riders are fully exposed, which makes collisions with cars, trucks, or even roadway hazards far more devastating. The average hospital cost for a motorcyclist injured in a crash is over $80,000, and many victims face lifelong consequences such as spinal cord damage, traumatic brain injury, or permanent disability.
That is why having an experienced motorcycle accident lawyer in Miami is critical.
Common Motorcycle Accident Causes
Our firm has handled thousands of accident cases. Some of the most common motorcycle crash scenarios include:
- Drivers making sudden turns into a rider’s path
- Cars changing lanes without checking blind spots
- Distracted motorists using cell phones
- Roadway hazards such as potholes, debris, or poor maintenance
- Negligent work crews leaving objects in travel lanes
- Vehicles pulling out of driveways or parking lots without yielding
In every case, our attorneys investigate thoroughly, gathering police reports, video evidence, witness statements, and medical records, to build the strongest claim possible.
Injuries We Commonly See
Motorcycle accident injuries can be catastrophic, and victims often require extensive treatment and rehabilitation. At The Perazzo Law Firm, we regularly represent clients suffering from:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Fractures and broken bones
- Severe road rash and lacerations
- Internal organ damage
- Wrongful death cases
Our lawyers fight to recover medical costs, lost wages, future earning capacity, and pain and suffering so victims can focus on recovery.
Florida Motorcycle Insurance and Laws
Motorcycle riders face unique legal challenges. Unlike car owners, they are not required to carry PIP (Personal Injury Protection) insurance. Instead, riders must show proof of financial responsibility, which may include liability coverage of:
- $10,000 for bodily injury per person
- $20,000 for bodily injury per accident
- $10,000 for property damage per accident
Florida’s helmet law also plays a role: riders over 21 may ride without a helmet if they carry at least $10,000 in medical coverage. However, helmets remain the safest choice and can reduce medical bills in the event of head trauma.
These laws make it even more important to have an experienced motorcycle accident lawyer on your side to navigate insurance claims and fight for compensation.
