Motorists and motorcyclists are expected to ensure that they have good visibility so that they can see the road and others sharing the road with them. Unfortunately, a great deal can happen on the road that can lead to poor visibility and resulting crashes. For example, motorists may not check their blind spot or a municipality may fail to provide adequate lighting in an area. If you have been in a motorcycle or car accident in Miami because you couldn't see a car or motorcycle on the road, you may have a legal claim against any liable parties in your case.

You may need to report the accident to police if the accident was serious or involved a potential crime (such as drunk driving). You will also want to report the accident to your insurance company. Before starting the insurance claims process, however, you may wish to consult with a personal injury attorney about your case to protect your interests.
