Compensation You Could Receive in North Fort Myers for your Motorcycle Accident Injuries

When you are seriously injured, every part of your life changes. You may be spending a lot of time and money getting medical treatments. You may be losing income if you are no longer able to work or can’t work as much as you used to. Like many accident victims, you may be feeling stressed, anxious, or depressed. Your family may be suffering too, if you cannot give them the companionship and support that you provided before you got hurt.

Medical bills, including doctor visits, diagnostic tests, hospital stays, surgeries, medication, assistive devices, at-home care, and rehabilitation services
Lost income and diminished earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Scarring, disfigurement, loss of abilities
Diminished quality of life
Trauma and emotional distress
Your family’s loss of your guidance, companionship and assistance

We would be honored to discuss your case with you and assess all of the damages for which you may be entitled to collect compensation. We are committed to obtaining justice and pursuing the full, fair compensation our clients need and deserve for the damages they have suffered.

Common North Fort Myers Motorcycle Accident Injuries

Motorcycle accidents are four times more likely to cause injuries than are accidents that involve only cars, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Many of these injuries are fatal or serious enough to require hospital treatment.

A study from the Florida Department of Transportation found that for serious, but non-fatal, motorcycle accident injuries, 60.5% of the accident victims who went to the hospital had broken bones, and 27.5% had internal injuries. The most common part of the body that was injured was the torso, followed by the lower extremities, the brain (traumatic brain injury), the spinal column, the upper extremities, and around the head, face, and neck.

These serious injuries often require long-term care and cause changes in the lives of accident victims and their families that can last for years or for a lifetime. A Dennis Hernandez North Fort Myers motorcycle accident lawyer can help you obtain the substantial compensation you need to cover your present and future injury-related care and losses.

What Causes North Fort Myers Motorcycle Accidents?

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) analyzed the causes of motorcycle accidents and found that 94% of the time, human error caused or contributed to the crashes. When the crashes involved a motorcycle and another vehicle, the crash happened because of the other driver’s error or failure, not the motorcyclist’s, 64% of the time.

The most common causes of motorcycle accidents in North Fort Myers and throughout the country include:

The other driver not seeing the motorcycle. Often, this is because the other driver failed to check their blind spots before changing lanes or making a left turn
Either the other driver or the motorcycle rider failing to notice, ignoring, or failing to properly react to dangerous weather or road conditions
Motorcycle rider inexperience
Impairment by alcohol or drugs
Opening the doors in parked vehicles without checking for oncoming traffic

An experienced Dennis Hernandez North Fort Myers motorcycle accident lawyer would be glad to analyze your accident and determine who was at fault. Even if you and the other driver were both at fault, you may still have a good case for pursuing compensation – so don’t make any decisions until you consult a lawyer.
