Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

Our legal team at Roman & Gaynor can help you with a wide variety of motorcycle accident cases, from issues involving driver intoxication to road hazards. We understand that motorcyclists are more vulnerable than drivers of commercial trucks or passenger vehicle, and in the event of a crash between the two, the motorcyclist is more likely to suffer serious injuries. For that reason, our firm is committed to helping injured motorcyclists seek justice and compensation from the liable party.

We can help with motorcycle accidents caused by the following common issues:

Who Could Be Held Liable for a Motorcycle Accident?

If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle accident, one of the first things you need to do, after seeking medical attention and contacting an attorney, is determining who could be liable for your injuries. Motorcycle accidents can be expensive, and if your crash was caused by someone else’s negligence, they should be responsible for the damage they caused, not you.

The liable party is typically the other driver, but liability might also fall elsewhere. If road hazards caused your crash, the city or road owner could be liable, or if the crash involved a truck, the trucking company could be liable. To determine liability, the best thing you can do is work with a knowledgeable attorney.

If you’re ready to get started, call our Clearwater motorcycle accident attorneys at (727) 877-1212.

Watch Out for Unfair Insurance Practices

insurance claims in floridaIn addition to facing a difficult physical recovery, many injured riders also experience added legal hardship from insurance companies who attempt to pay riders as little as possible. These insurance corporations utilize extensive resources and legal teams to divert liability away from their drivers and avoid paying large a settlement to the victim.

They will often capitalize on the negative stereotypes associated with riders, including unsafe speeds and lane splitting, in an attempt to place or shift the blame on riders for causing an accident. With aggressive and highly experienced attorneys on your side, you can substantially reduce your risk of being unfairly compensated.

The at fault party’s insurance carrier asserted a low impact defense, and asserted that our client suffered from these injuries prior to the accident. After protracted litigation, and just 2 months prior to trial, Roman & Gaynor secured a $836,000 settlement in favor of this couple.
  • $820,000.00 Settlement in Rear End Collision

  • $572,000.00 Settlement in Rear End Collision

    In 2017, a middle-aged man was rear-ended at a high-rate of speed on the highway. He sustained head, neck and back injuries but did not get any surgeries. We were able to obtain a tender of the policy limits of the at-fault driver but had to file a lawsuit for the underinsured motorist coverage. Seven months later, in 2019, we reached a settlement. We were able to recover a total of $572,000 for this client and his family from the insurance carriers to help them move forward.

  • $550,000.00 $550,000 Recovery for our Client

    A phantom vehicle made a left turn in the direct path of our client’s path of traveling causing him to take evasive action, causing him to strike a concrete utility pole. The force of the impact caused both airbags to deploy and the car engine came through the firewall and into our client’s dashboard and legs. Our client sustained serious lower extremity injuries, neck, and back injuries necessitating hospitalization, multiple surgeries, and extensive rehabilitation. Because the at fault driver fled the scene of the accident, we presented 2 uninsured motorists claims to our client’s uninsured motorist carriers. Demand for tender of the first uninsured motorist policy in the amount of $250,000 was made by our firm and was paid promptly. Second demand for the second Underinsured Motorist policy in the amount of $300,000 was made by our firm. This second insurance carrier denied coverage, based upon a UM rejection form signed by our client. Our firm determined that the UM selection form was fraudulently signed by our client’s car insurance agent. Our firm then filed a Civil Remedy Notice asserting fraud, and the insurance carrier promptly paid its $300,000 UM policy limit within the 60 day time period provided under the Civil Remedy Notice. This resulted in a total recovery of $550,000.00 for our client. A total victory for our client! Not all law firms check the validity of client signatures on UM selection forms. Our clients can be assured of this attention to detail for each and every case.
