Single motorcycle accidents in Hallandale Beach and other Florida communities can be devastating. One minute, a motorcyclist may be cruising down a highway or road, and in the next minute a sudden unexpected maneuver by a car in front of them can cause them to swerve out of control. Or, an undetected road flaw or visibility issue may cause the motorcyclist to lose control and crash. Not only is this type of situation terribly frightening, but it can also be very frustrating. All too often, the motorcyclist is blamed for causing the crash and it can be difficult to get the fair compensation that the motorcyclist may deserve for their lost wages, medical bills, and other expenses.
If you have been in a single bike accident, it is even more important to consult with a personal injury attorney to ensure that you are not blamed for an accident that was not your fault and in order to ensure that you get maximum, fair compensation for your injuries.

Preventing Single Vehicle Motorcycle and Traffic Crashes in Hallandale Beach and Across FloridaStatistics show that about half of all single bike accidents involve speeding. If you want to avoid being involved in a motorcycle accident, going the posted speed limit is an important first step to ensuring that you stay safe on the roads. When you speed, the stopping distance of your motorcycle increases. Even going just a mile per hour over the speed limit increases your stopping distance, sometimes dangerously so. Quite simply, the faster you go on your motorcycle, the longer it will take you to stop if a car in front of you makes a sudden stop or if you notice debris or an animal on the road.
In addition, the risks of you being involved in a fatal accident on a motorcycle are considerably higher when you are speeding. Unlike a passenger car, you have few layers of protection and in the event of a serious accident involving speeding, the force and speed are likely to cause life-threatening head injuries, internal injuries, and other serious injuries.
