Right of Way Violations
When drivers fail to yield right of way, they are not only being rude; their reckless actions can lead to serious injury and even fatalities. Motorcycle accidents in Miami and across Florida involving right of way violations occur at intersections and along busy roadways, such as freeways. Often, the results are devastating. These accidents can cause serious head injuries, spinal cord injuries, factors, and other catastrophic injuries.
Victims and survivors of motorcycle accidents in Miami and across South Florida are often not aware that they have rights that protect them after their accident. Florida law does have a number of stipulations which ensures that victims who have been injured in traffic accidents in Miami or anywhere in Florida do have recourse to the law. If your accident was caused by someone's negligence or recklessness, for example, you can pursue legal action in order to get compensation. You can recover compensation to pay for medical costs, pain and suffering, property damage, lost earnings, and other expenses related to your accident. If you have lost a loved one in a motorcycle accident, you may be able to launch a wrongful death claim in Miami in order to recover for pain and suffering, memorial expenses, final medical expenses, potential lost earnings, lost companionship, and other expenses. While it is difficult sometimes to think about money after the devastation of a traffic accident, it is important to think of your family's future. Being able to secure financial resources for your family can become an important way to ensure that you have the money to recover as fully as possible. Having financial resources ensures that you have the money to pay for medical care and other needed expenses so that you can focus fully on healing.
