Motorcycle Rider Rights

Motorcycle Accident Lawyer - Thacker & Mulvihill - Clearwater FLMotorcycle riders have the same rights and obligations on the roadway as anyone driving a car. Whereas many car accidents do not result in injuries, the same cannot be said for motorcycle riders who lack the metal frame of a car surrounding them to protect them in an accident. Motorcycles can be more difficult for other drivers to see on the road and with so many drivers failing to pay proper attention to the roadway to begin with, riding a motorcycle can be a very dangerous endeavor. If you are injured in a motorcycle accident, you could be entitled to compensation for your injuries and pain and suffering. If you have a loved one who is killed in a motorcycle accident, you may be entitled to compensation for your loss.

Motorcycle Accident Injuries

Motorcycle Accident Lawyer - Thacker & Mulvihill - Clearwater FLSome injuries sustained in motorcycle accidents are easier to see than others. People can break or lose body parts, suffer severe scarring or have some other visible injury. In those cases, it would be easy for a jury to see the injuries and determine that they were caused by the accident in question. Other times, people suffer mental or internal physical injuries that can’t be seen by the naked eye. Examples of these are herniated discs in your back or neck that now cause pain on a daily basis or affect your ability to use your arms and legs. Other examples include depression and/or anxiety one may suffer from as a result of a motorcycle crash or a traumatic brain injury causing memory loss or other cognitive issues. Despite the fact that people suffering from these ailments may appear perfectly normal on the outside, all of these are serious injuries that can be permanent and you may be entitled to compensation for your financial losses, pain and suffering resulting from these injuries.
