Common Issues in Lauderhill Motorcycle Accident Claims

Motorcycle crashes in and around Lauderhill often raise issues that are different from those in car-only collisions. Riders are more exposed to the impact, which means injuries can be more severe even at lower speeds.

Other issues in motorcycle accident claims include:

• Shared fault arguments: Insurance companies may claim you share blame due to visibility, speed, or lane position, and reviewing reports, photos, and available data can help clarify what actually happened.
• Proving the full extent of injuries: Motorcycle accidents often involve visible injuries, like broken bones, and less obvious ones, such as concussions or emotional trauma. Proving the extent of these can be challenging.

We take time to review medical records and speak with you about the ways the injuries have changed your daily life, work, and family responsibilities. That information can help our Lauderhill motorcycle accident lawyer present a more complete picture of your losses so that the impact of the crash is not reduced to a list of bills.

What to Do After a Motorcycle Accident in Lauderhill

After a motorcycle accident on the Florida Turnpike, I-95, or on other roads can leave you feeling disoriented. However, there are still important steps to follow after an accident to preserve your health and claim viability. 

Steps to take include:

1. Call 911: You should contact emergency services so law enforcement and medical responders can assist at the scene.
2. Prioritize your health: Seek medical attention as soon as possible, since early evaluation is important even if injuries seem minor.
3. Exchange information: Collect the other driver’s name, contact details, insurance information, and license plate number.
4. Gather witness and scene information: If you are able, collect contact details for witnesses and take photos or videos of the scene, vehicles, and visible injuries.
5. Keep important records: Save copies of crash reports, towing paperwork, and any communication from insurance companies for future reference.
6. Track your medical care: Follow your doctor’s instructions and keep a simple record of treatments, appointments, and missed work.
7. Be cautious with insurance requests: Before giving recorded statements or signing documents, consider speaking with a motorcycle accident attorney in Lauderhill to understand your rights and options.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to bring a motorcycle accident claim in Florida?

Florida law sets a two-year deadline, called a statute of limitations, for bringing personal injury claims. Since missing this deadline can affect your ability to pursue a claim, it is important to talk with a lawyer as soon as you can after a crash. 

Do I need to see a doctor if I feel okay after the crash?

Some injuries may not be obvious immediately after a motorcycle collision. A medical professional can evaluate you, document your condition, and recommend any follow-up care that might be needed. Having this information in your records can protect your health and any future claim, because insurers often question injuries that are not documented soon after the crash.

Can I talk to the insurance company on my own?

You are not required to have a lawyer before speaking with an insurance company, but it is wise to be cautious about what you say and sign. Adjusters may ask broad questions or request authorizations that allow them to obtain extensive medical records. Before agreeing to a recorded statement or signing paperwork, you may want to have a brief consultation to understand how those requests could affect your claim.

What if I was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash?

Not wearing a helmet does not automatically prevent you from bringing a claim after a motorcycle accident. However, insurance companies sometimes argue about whether the lack of a helmet affected the extent of certain injuries. A careful review of the medical records and the circumstances of the crash can help address how those issues might be raised in your particular case.
