Florida is a popular place for motorcycles because of the flatness of the state. The terrain is quite safe and the weather is wonderful, but there’s more to safe riding than good terrain and weather.

Motorcycle accident lawyers speak with injured riders every day, including in Melbourne. If you’ve been hurt in such an accident, we encourage you to speak with our Melbourne motorcycle accident attorneys at Andrew Pickett Law and learn what we can do for you.

Florida’s Comparative Fault Laws Can Hurt Motorcyclists

Under Florida law, all motorists are required to carry at least $10,000 in personal injury protection (PIP) coverage. This is enough to take care of minor incidents, but most motorcycle accidents involve serious injuries and open the at-fault driver to a lawsuit.

However, insurance companies are skilled at pointing out ways that a motorcyclist contributed to their injuries through injuries. Under Florida’s comparative fault laws, these accusations can reduce your total compensation significantly.

If you don’t have a motorcycle accident lawyer on your side, you’ll have a tough time defending yourself against these accusations. Don’t face an insurance company alone. They have armies of lawyers, and their goal is to pay you as little as possible.

"Our family is flat out impressed with the Andrew Pickett Law firm technical mastery, they never wavered with kind direction as our recovery prolonged during the COVID-19, and they delivered the maximum settlement possible."

The Dangers of Motorcycle Accidents

Insurance company tactics often add insult to injury because the injuries of riders are so much worse than drivers. Motorcycle accidents are different from car accidents because drivers have plenty of metal and plastic between them and the motorcycle and riders don’t, so they’re often worse for wear after collisions.

In a perfect world, drivers would spend more time looking out for motorcycles, but that doesn’t happen often enough. A common song of a negligent driver is, “I never saw them coming” if they get into a motorcycle accident. If your PIP coverage isn’t enough, our Melbourne motorcycle accident attorneys will do our best to make them cover the rest.

Damages You Could Recover in a Motorcycle Accident

The costs of your injuries, lost wages, and damage to your bike can all be covered through pursuing a lawsuit against the other driver’s insurance company. You may also be eligible for non-economic damages like pain and suffering, mental anguish, and loss of consortium.

After determining who is responsible for the crash, a motorcycle accident lawyer will calculate all the costs of your case so that they can fight for a fair settlement. It’s important to keep all bills and receipts related to your accident to get a full picture.

Another thing you can do is keep a daily record of your life after your accident. Date and time each entry and be factual about your physical and emotional experience. This document can be used to justify non-economic damages, which aren’t tied to a dollar amount.

Beatrice Maxime

$1,000,000 Verdict

"I am so very grateful to have had this firm represent me. I was in a car accident a few years ago, but the car insurance company of the person who totaled my car would not replace my car, nor pay for my medical bills. We ended up going to court and because of Mr. Pickett, we won the case. Thank you so much for all you did for us!!!!"

Will I Need to Go to Trial for My Motorcycle Accident Case?

Likely not, if you have a motorcycle accident lawyer on your side. Assuming your case qualifies for suing the at-fault rider (the “serious injury” requirement), we will work hard to build the strongest case we can.

Insurance companies do not like going to trial if they can help it. Trials put them at risk of having a court force a huge payout. Instead, they will try to offer a settlement to cover your costs. Your lawyer can examine the offer and explain if it’s a reasonable one or if you need to go to trial after all.

Seek Help With Your Melbourne Motorcycle Accident Case

Sadly, there is still prejudice against motorcycle riders. You should expect an insurance company will try to reduce your compensation by saying you were riding unsafely. Granted, you shouldn’t give them any ammunition like riding without a helmet.

If you do find yourself in a motorcycle crash, contact Andrew Pickett Law. Our motorcycle accident lawyers in Melbourne, FL, will get in touch with you to discuss your case. Your consultation is free and without obligation.

Rebecca Collura

If you are reading this you may have been in a car accident which I am sure has disrupted your life as it did mine. Dealing with your insurance company will be impossible and their goal is to give you the least amount of money possible regardless of your injuries. It is a slow process and you have to be patient. Andrew Pickett will work extremely hard to get you enough money to take care of past and potential future expenses. He is extremely good at what he does and his support staff are attentive and responsive as well. Personally I wouldn't be a number at one of those big firms that advertise on TV. Andrew was completely involved in my case and took great care of me. Stay strong, I pray the pain will lessen for you, and let Andrew fight for you!

Response from the owner: Thank you, Rebecca! What a thoughtful review. It was an honor to represent you.

I had the best experience working with Pickett Law. They are all very knowledgeable about the law. We personally worked with Atty Tiffany Whitehouse and her team of Tina Johnson and Vonda Vassar, they knew how to get us the most money that we were entitled to from a car accident.

Even though things were moving slow because of Covid-19 pandemic, he never stop working on my behalf. He was very dedicated to the case.

Betty Bobay

After being part of a unique preparation process Andrew uses to prepare his clients for presenting their story to a jury, I attended one of his trials to watch the process unfold. I was in awee as I observed how he left no stone uncovered with the depositions, visual aids, videos from relevant physicians, (who shared in lay terms with the jury...how the crash had impacted the client medically and changed the entire trajectory of their life). Andrew is laser focused on helping a jury understand how a client's life has been altered and the losses they have incurred as a result. If you need a Personal Injury Attorney, you could not ask for someone more compassionate and laser focused on helping you than Andrew Pickett.

Response from the owner: Thank you for the kind words, Betty
