Riding a motorcycle offers the freedom of the open road. But this freedom comes with the risk of serious, even fatal accidents. Motorcycles lack many of the safety features common on passenger vehicles, and their smaller size makes them more difficult to see on the road. This combination means people involved in a motorcycle accident are more likely to suffer severe, even fatal injuries.

If you were injured or a loved one was killed in a Florida motorcycle accident, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries and other losses. The Florida motorcycle accident attorney team at Saka Bryant can evaluate your situation, explain your rights and legal options, and help you recover the compensation you deserve.

Common Injuries in Motorcycle Accidents

Individuals involved in motorcycle accidents often suffer severe injuries such as:

• Injuries to the Head, Neck, and Spine. A motorcycle accident can cause head injuries, such as a concussion or traumatic brain injury (TBI), as well as damage to the neck, back, and spine that can cause whiplash injuries, herniated discs, muscular injuries, or paralysis.
• Fractures and Broken Bones. A rider who is thrown from the bike and strikes an object may suffer fractures and broken bones.
• Facial Injuries. If the rider’s head strikes the pavement, they may suffer facial injuries and scarring that may require extensive surgeries to repair.
• Road Rash. If the rider’s skin is dragged across the pavement, they may suffer severe cuts and lacerations that can cause permanent scarring or loss of mobility, especially if the injuries occur near the rider’s joints.

What Are Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents?

Many motorcycle accidents are caused because the driver did not see the motorcycle. Motorcycles are smaller than passenger vehicles, and the rider’s low, compact posture can make them more difficult to see in traffic, at intersections, or in blind spots.

Drunk, Drowsy, or Distracted Driving

Drivers who are under the influence of drugs or alcohol or distracted by a phone or radio are less likely to notice motorcycles, which can lead to a collision.

Left Turn Accidents

Left turn collisions occur when a vehicle suddenly turns left in front of an oncoming motorcycle, leaving the rider with little time to react.

Dooring

“Dooring” happens when a driver opens a door into the path of an oncoming motorcycle.

Unsafe Lane Changes

An accident can occur when a vehicle unexpectedly moves into a lane occupied by a motorcycle.
