Your Attorney Today, Tomorrow, & For Life
Orlando Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
When you love to ride, the motorcycle is a big part of your life. Your adrenaline can start pumping as the wind whips past and you’re on the open road. That can all change in the blink of an eye when a crash happens. When the crash occurs because someone else was negligent, you deserve to be compensated for everything you’ve lost. That’s why our Orlando motorcycle accident lawyer is here.
Injuries That Can Happen in a Motorcycle Accident
All accidents can be serious, but motorcycle riders are uniquely vulnerable. They lack the protective barriers that exist for a driver in a car accident. This vulnerability can place them at a heightened risk, and the potential injuries resulting from such accidents can be severe and life-altering.
Here are some of the most common injuries suffered in motorcycle accidents:
- Head and brain Injuries: The impact of an accident can cause severe trauma to the head, leading to long-lasting effects on cognitive function, memory, motor skills, and overall quality of life
- Spinal cord injuries: The force of a collision can damage the spinal cord, leading to various degrees of paralysis or loss of sensation.
- Bone fractures: Fractures commonly occur in the arms, legs, ribs, pelvis, and collarbone. Treating these fractures may involve surgeries, prolonged healing periods, immobilization, and physical therapy.
- Road rash: This is a severe abrasion that occurs when the skin scrapes against the rough surface of the road. Road rash can cause deep tissue damage, infections, and scarring.
- Internal organ damage: Internal injuries include damage to the lungs, liver, spleen, or kidneys. They may not be immediately apparent but can have life-threatening consequences if not treated properly.
- Limb amputations: Traumatic amputations of limbs can be necessary if the lower extremities become trapped or crushed between the motorcycle and another vehicle or object. The loss of a limb has profound physical, emotional, and psychological impacts on the individual.
The severity of these injuries means that a settlement package may need to be substantial in order to truly be fair. Our Orlando motorcycle accident attorney knows all the issues that have to be raised in negotiations or in litigation.

What Should Be Included in a Motorcycle Injury Settlement
The compensation package must adequately address the physical, emotional, and financial impact of the injury.
Several key components should be considered to form a settlement that is comprehensive and fair:
- Medical expenses: This includes reimbursement for past and future medical bills, hospital stays, surgeries, medications, rehabilitation, therapy, and any other related healthcare costs.
- Lost wages: Compensation for lost wages includes missed time at work and the loss of future earning capacity.
- Mental health treatment: Compensation for emotional trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression, or other psychological damages resulting from the injury should be included.
- Renovation or relocation: It’s possible the plaintiff’s home may need to be renovated with rampways. Or the home may no longer be livable as is. In either case, compensation is both appropriate and necessary.
- Pain and suffering: Monetary compensation for physical pain, emotional distress, mental anguish, and loss of enjoyment of life caused by the injury can be sought. This is subjective and may depend on witness testimony from those close to the injured plaintiff.
Our office can assess the specific circumstances of your case, evaluate the appropriate compensation, and negotiate on your behalf to secure a comprehensive settlement package.
