Miami & Statewide Florida Motorcycle Crash Attorneys

In a motorcycle or moped crash, the rider does not have the protection of a metal vehicle surrounding them, nor safety devices such as an air bag or padded dash. As a result, motorcyclists are much more susceptible to severe injuries in an accident than the occupant of a car or truck.

The lawyers and staff at Bernstein & Maryanoff have the resources and experience to help you pursue the maximum compensation for your injuries or loss in a motorcycle crash. We have obtained numerous settlements and verdicts in excess of $1 million for motorcycle accident victims and for family members of people who died in fatal accidents. With a principal office in Miami, numerous other offices across Florida, and the willingness to make house calls, our attorneys will be there when you need them.

Under Florida law, a motorcycle is excluded from the no-fault insurance law. This means that the driver of a motor vehicle that hits a motorcycle does not have the defenses available under the auto no-fault law. In many motorcycle accidents, the victim can recover money damages from the at-fault driver without having to prove that they are permanently injured. The only question is how much money the victim should be awarded for their injury or loss.

Motorcycle accidents are usually the fault of the driver of the other vehicle. People don't show respect for motorcycles and often cut in front of them. The response of many drivers after an accident is that they didn't see the motorcyclist. The resulting damages or loss can be devastating for the victims. A motorcyclist can suffer a head injury or permanent scar from being thrown against the pavement.

It's very important for your lawyer to get good photographs of your injury immediately following the accident and during your healing to properly present your case in pre-trial settlement conferences with the insurance company and, if necessary, a jury trial.
