Why You Need a Pensacola Motorcycle Accident Attorney
Following a motorcycle accident, insurance companies often try to minimize their payouts. They may blame the rider for the accident, even when another driver was clearly at fault. They might offer a quick, lowball settlement that does not cover the full extent of your damages. Do not let them take advantage of you.
In Florida, car and truck accident cases are not the same as motorcycle cases. Florida’s no-fault insurance laws do not cover motorcycle accident cases. This requires special knowledge and experience to provide maximum compensation for our clients.
We know what it takes to protect your rights and fight for the compensation you deserve:
- Thoroughly Investigate Your Accident: We will leave no stone unturned in our investigation. Our team of in-house investigators will gather police reports, accident reports, and photos and videos of the scene. We will interview witnesses, consult with accident reconstruction experts, and examine the motorcycles involved to determine precisely how the accident occurred and who was at fault.
- Deal with Insurance Companies: Dealing with insurance adjusters can be frustrating and intimidating. Our advice is to never speak with insurance adjusters without your lawyer present. We will handle all communication with the insurance companies on your behalf, protecting you from their tactics and ensuring your rights are protected. We will fight for a fair and full settlement that covers all of your damages.
- Negotiate for Just Compensation: We are skilled negotiators with a proven track record of securing significant settlements for our clients. We know how to calculate the full extent of your damages, including medical expenses (past and future), lost wages, lost earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, property damage, and more. We will fight to get you the maximum compensation possible.
- Represent You in Court: If a fair settlement cannot be reached through negotiation, we are fully prepared to take your case to trial. Our experienced trial lawyers are skilled litigators who will aggressively advocate for your rights in court and present a compelling case to a jury.

Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries
Motorcycle accidents can result in a wide range of serious and often debilitating injuries, including:
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs): Head injuries are a common and serious consequence of motorcycle accidents, even when riders wear helmets. TBIs can range from mild concussions to severe brain damage, resulting in cognitive impairments, memory loss, personality changes, and other long-term effects.
- Spinal Cord Injuries: Damage to the spinal cord can result in partial or complete paralysis, loss of sensation, chronic pain, and other life-altering complications.
- Broken Bones and Fractures: The force of impact in a motorcycle accident can easily cause broken bones and fractures in the arms, legs, ribs, pelvis, and other parts of the body. These injuries often require surgery, casts, and extensive physical therapy.
- Road Rash and Burns: When a motorcyclist is thrown from their bike, they can slide across the pavement resulting in severe road rash and friction burns. These injuries can be extremely painful, require skin grafts, and leave lasting scars.
- Internal Injuries: Motorcycle accidents can cause internal bleeding, organ damage, and other internal injuries that may not be immediately apparent. It is crucial to seek medical attention after any motorcycle crash, even if you do not think you are seriously injured.
- Amputations: Often, in violent crashes, motorcycle accidents can lead to traumatic amputations or such severe injuries that surgical amputations are necessary.
