Michael Babboni, the St. Petersburg Motorcycle Accident Attorney protects the injured, not the powerful, and we will fight for you and your right to compensation for your injuries.
Do You Have The Right For Compensation?
Determining fault in an auto accident is complex, and no less so when a motorcycle is involved in the crash. Florida is actually a comparative fault state, and those involved in a negligence lawsuit are often surprised to learn that their compensation is directly related to the amount that the courts determine they are at fault for.
But if your accident was caused by the reckless or negligent actions of someone else, you can seek restitution. In short, if you can prove that the other party involved in an accident acted in a way that any reasonable person would recognize to be negligent or reckless, you have the grounds for a case. Reckless or negligent actions could include:
- Drunk driving
- Texting while driving
- Speeding
- Violating traffic laws
- Failure to yield right of way
- Failure to properly maintain a vehicle for safety
- And more
What Are You Owed?
Personal injury compensation following a motorcycle accident can involve a lot of different variables.
Some of the damages you may be awarded include:
- Medical costs
- Future medical costs
- Lost wages
- Future potential lost wages
- Compensation for pain and suffering
- Punitive damages
It's important not to accept initial settlement offers since they're usually not fair at all and wont' cover all of your expenses. Let your St Petersburg motorcycle accident attorney review your case to ensure you get a fair settlement offer that will help you get your life back on track.
Standing Up To Insurance Companies Florida motorists are required to carry PIP insurance policies. These policies are designed to pay for 80% of medical costs and 60% of lost wages due to an accident regardless of who is at fault. However, insurance companies are often reluctant to offer compensation at all - especially when you're seeking further restitution beyond your PIP coverage.
