Tampa, FL Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Attorney Armando Edmiston can help you get maximum compensation

By their very nature, motorcycles are more dangerous to operate than cars and other passenger vehicles. That’s because motorcyclists are out in the open while passengers inside cars are protected by the vehicle’s metal frame, seatbelts, and airbags. At the same time, if someone is irresponsible and their negligence results in you getting injured in a motorcycle accident, it’s important to remember that you do have rights.

Damaged motorcycle on ground after motorcycle accident in TampaIf you went down in a crash caused by someone else and suffered serious injuries, you may find yourself searching for a motorcycle accident attorney to help you get the financial compensation you’re entitled to.

Insurance companies are infamous for treating injured motorcyclists poorly because of the cliché that all riders and bikers take unnecessary risks. No matter what the cause of your motorcycle accident, some insurance companies will argue that you are responsible for your own crash. At Armando Personal Injury Law, we know that’s an unfair stereotype. Yet we’ve still handled a lot of cases where an insurance company unjustly refuses to give a hurt rider compensation that’s fair.

No matter what type of motorcycle accident you’re dealing with, you don’t need to settle for less than what you deserve. Attorney Armando Edmiston admires and respects the motorcycle community and can aggressively advocate for your best interests, whether it’s at the negotiating table or in the courtroom.

What is the average settlement for a motorcycle accident?

The average motorcycle accident settlement will typically include compensation for all your accident-related expenses, including:

  • Medical Expenses
  • Lost Wages
  • Loss of Earning Capacity
  • Replacement Services
  • Property Damage
  • Pain and Suffering/Punitive Damages

It is important to note that in Florida, you typically have two years from the date of the accident to file a claim. After the two-year deadline, you may be unable to pursue any legal action and seek financial compensation.

The amount of compensation you receive from your motorcycle accident claim will depend on the extent of your injuries and the specific details of your case. In particular, your compensation can be significantly affected by comparative negligence. In Florida, if you are found over 50 percent at fault, then you cannot recover compensation. If you are less than 50 percent at fault, you can recover, but your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
