Motorcycle accidents are more likely than car accidents to cause devastating and catastrophic injuries. This is because motorcycle riders and passengers often have very few layers of protection in a car crash. Not only are passenger cars and trucks much larger than a motorcycle, but motorcyclist do not have the layers of metal and glass, crumple zones, seatbelts, airbags, and other protections that cars and trucks can offer.

What Types of Serious Injuries are Often Caused by Motorcycle Accidents?In Hollywood and other South Florida communities, motorcycle accidents often result in:
While most motorcyclists and car drivers do have insurance which can help pay for some of the medical expenses involved in these types of accidents, one problem is that motorcycle accidents often tend to be very severe. The injuries that result from these types of accidents can be very expensive and in most cases car insurance companies want to resolve cases quickly and inexpensively, which means that in some cases victims do not get the full amount of money they need to replace lost income, pay for long-term care, and take care of all the many expenses involved in this type of accident.
The reality is, your insurance claim amount is not carved in stone. In many cases, you can negotiate for a better offer and you need to carefully consider the offer before you accept it. Once you do accept it, you may have signed away some of your rights to pursue legal claims later on. For example, if you find out that you may have a product liability claim because of a motorcycle defect or if you find out that there were other liable parties, you may have claims that you abandon by accepting an initial insurance offer.
To avoid this problem, contact a personal injury attorney in Hollywood or your community in order to review your case. An attorney can help you evaluate how much you are likely to pay as a result of your accident and can help you review insurance claim offers. An attorney can even help you through the insurance process. If you do have a claim, an attorney can help you understand the strength of your case and can even help you file your claim.
