Motorcycle Accident Questions | How Do I Choose the Right Attorney?
In the state of Florida, if you’re involved in a motorcycle injury case due to the fault of someone else, you want to make sure you do your research. You want to make sure that you find a lawyer, like ours here at Morgenstern & Herd, who have handled other motorcycle injury cases, who’s familiar with the laws, the prerequisites for motorcycles, and what kind of coverages you need. You want to make sure you do your research. The internet is used by everybody for information, so you should do it and go to the websites that talk about lawyers and their credentials, like Martindale-Hubble, Avvo, and find out information about your attorney.
Motorcycle Accident Questions | What if a Hazardous Road Caused My Accident?
We’ve had a couple of clients in the past five years who have sustained injuries because the road was not properly maintained. In the example with our client, the road wasn’t maintained and it was allowed to build up furrows or indentation marks that retained water so that when it rained it made it more difficult for a driver to stop. In those circumstances, you have a cause of action against the county or the government. There are limitations in damages that you can recover from the county, and also the driver has to be observant of those conditions on the roadway and take appropriate action for them.
Motorcycle Accident Questions | What Compensation Can I Get?
If you’re injured in a motorcycle accident in the state of Florida, you can receive compensation for all of your damages. There are different kinds of damages for different injuries. There is bodily injury, as well as mental injuries. Motorcycle accidents are generally very serious. We have a couple of clients right now who also have psychological injury. You can receive compensation for your lost earnings if you’re out of work for an extensive period of time. You can receive what’s called consortium damages. If you have children and can’t take care of them and can’t pick them up, those are damages that you can also recover for in your lawsuit.
