Motorcycle accidents are common in Florida. After a motorcycle accident, it is important to make sure you seek medical attention if you are injured. Dealing with any injuries you sustain in a motorcycle accident can be an uphill battle.

The whole ordeal can be confusing and disorienting. There are some important things to remember after a motorcycle crash. It is important to be informed about Florida laws regarding motorcycle accidents. Below are some tips to help remember the important things.

You may have to deal with the trauma of the crash

Many motorcycle accidents involve serious injuries, and you may have to deal with the trauma of the crash, even after leaving the hospital. Even after you are out of the hospital, your injuries may continue to cause problems. You may have a lot of pain or have to deal with limitations in your mobility and activities.

You may have to deal with the emotional aftermath of the crash

Motorcycle accidents are a terrifying experience, especially if the person who was in the accident doesn’t know what to do after the crash. It is important to take time for the mind to heal as well as the body. Therapy could be very beneficial to help deal with emotional wounds.

Now is the time to document all injuries

The most important step in getting compensation for your injuries is to document your injuries, both physical and emotional. This should be done before memory fades and details are lost.

Contact your insurance company to find out your coverage limits and deductibles

Call your insurance company right away, preferably even before seeking medical attention. Getting copies of police reports from your local authorities can help in dealing with insurance companies. It is important to not be persuaded by insurance companies to sign a release of liability in favor of the at-fault driver.

You may need to worry about your legal rights

If you find yourself in a motorcycle accident in Florida, it is important to know your rights and options. An advocate that is experienced in motorcycle accident laws in Florida can help navigate through the obstacles.

What Our Clients Say

PERSONAL INJURY CLIENT

Sharon Elliott

When I first called their office I was able to speak to a paralegal and an attorney right away. They answered all of my questions. Throughout the process of my case the attorneys were in constant contact with me. I knew every step of the process. The staff and attorneys were very easy to talk to. I was extremely pleased with the outcome. My medical bills were high. They managed to get my doctors to write off a lot of the bills which saved me money. PHL is a great law firm. I highly recommend them to anyone. I promise, you won’t be disappointed.

REAL ESTATE CLIENT

Amber Joye Rosen, Au.D.

I called numerous attorneys, Michael Labbee was not only the only attorney to call me back at all but called me the same day during his personal time. In the consult, he confirmed my rights as a party to this contract, went over all the ramifications the seller would incur by breaking our contract, and went over cost of litigation if that’s the route I needed to take. I felt more empowered at my options. He was not only knowledgeable and to the point, but kind (yet clearly willing to go to bat to people in their place for my rights!).

After my accident I contacted Tyler Hayden to get his advice on legal help and he said don’t worry, we can take care of this and that’s exactly what that firm did. From day one I felt comfortable talking to the lawyers and knew they had my best interest. I would 100% recommend Phillips, Hayden, & Labbee to handle your personal injury case. I’m glad I did.
