Motorcycle accidents can often be very difficult to deal with in Tampa. Often, the other driver will blame the motorcyclist for causing the crash, even though the accident was completely the driver’s fault. Worst of all, some insurance companies take their side, since some people think all motorcyclists are dangerous risk takers.

We know the truth. We know that most motorcyclists follow the rules of the road. Instead, it’s other drivers who often cause motorcycle accidents. We can help you set the record straight. We know how to deal with insurance companies. If they refuse to cooperate, we will not hesitate to take them to court and fight to get you the compensation you deserve.

Lane-splitting motorcycle accidents

Lane-splitting is term used to describe when motorcyclists drive in between two lanes in between vehicles on a highway. In Florida, lane-splitting is against the law, but there can be many gray areas of the law when it comes to lane-splitting accidents. You may have simply been trying to legally pass another vehicle when another car suddenly speeded by you in another lane. That’s why it’s important to talk to an attorney who knows the law and can investigate your crash. That way, your rights will be respected after your accident.

Head-on motorcycle accidents

Head-on collisions involving motorcycles are among the most serious accidents we deal with at our law firm.

We know how to investigate these accidents and can be there for your family during this difficult time.

Whatever the circumstances of your hit-and-run accident, our legal team can investigate your crash and demand the financial compensation you deserve.
