With only their wits and their gear between them and the road, motorcyclists are among Florida's most vulnerable travelers. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, motorcycle riders were 35 times more likely than drivers to die and eight times more likely to be injured in a traffic accident in 2006. The most common motorcycle injuries are very serious ones, including brain and spinal damage, broken bones and soft-tissue injuries. And unfortunately, studies show that the most common cause of motorcycle accidents was drivers' failure to see the bikes that are right in front of them. Wet or icy roads, sharp turns and defective motorcycle parts also play a role.

People injured in a motorcycle accidents often come away with permanent injuries, such as brain damage, nerve damage, improperly healed fractures or paralysis. In addition to being physically painful and emotionally traumatic, this can also be extremely expensive, generating six-figure medical bills. For an ordinary family, this can be crippling even with health insurance. And if the victim can't work, they may also be scrambling to replace an income. If you've been hurt in this way because of someone else's carelessness, you have the right to hold that person responsible for your bills and your injuries with a Florida motorcycle accident lawsuit.
