Motorcycle Accidents

South Florida Motorcycle Accident Attorney

Inattentive drivers injure far too many motorcyclists every year. Motorcycle accidents can cause serious injuries, including a lifetime of disabling conditions, and even fatalities. At The Law Offices of Rafael J. Roca, P.A., we help people who have been injured in motorcycle accidents. We thoroughly analyze the accident's cause and the liable party so that we can build a strong case on your behalf. Our firm has helped injured people and their families obtain compensation and justice since 1988.

Injuries can be Severe

Despite motorcyclists' efforts to protect themselves by wearing helmets, long pants, leather jackets, and gloves, even in very warm weather, these items offer little protection to riders. A motorcycle does not need to have a direct impact with a car for the injuries to be severe. Whether a rider was run off the road, rear-ended, or sideswiped while a car changed lanes, the injuries can be severe and life altering. Common motorcycle accident injuries include:

• Spinal cord injury
• Whiplash injury
• Back injury
• Neck injury
• Brain injury
• Fractures

Motorcyclists are Not Required to have PIP Insurance

Motorcyclists are not required by Florida statute to carry PIP (personal injury protection) insurance. In fact, PIP insurance is not sold to motorcyclists. This distinction makes a motorcycle accident considerably different from a car accident. Our firm is skilled at addressing the concerns of injured motorcyclists and seeking compensation for the injuries.

If you have lost a close family member in a fatal motorcycle accident, let our firm help. We offer a compassionate response to this catastrophic loss.
