About Motorcycle Accidents

Statistics show that motorcycle riding is a much more dangerous activity than driving in a vehicle.  According to the NHTSA (National Highway Safety Transportation Administration) - "Per vehicle mile traveled in 2006, motorcyclists were about 35 times more likely than passenger car occupants to die in a motor vehicle traffic crash and 8 times more likely to be injured."  As you can see, there is a far greater risk of serious and life threatening injuries to an individual when involved in a motorcycle accident.  The main reason for this is the difference in weights of a car and a motorcycle when involved in an accident, as well as the lack of protection to the body.  If you or a loved one has been involved in an accident while driving your motorcycle, you need to contact a Tampa motorcycle accident attorney to properly present your personal injury claim.

Because of the speed and lack of protection when involved in a motorcycle accident, injuries sustained can be severe, if not fatal.  Many serious injuries occur, including fractures, brain and spinal cord injuries, comas, loss of limbs and even death. It is often negligence on the part of the vehicle driver that causes motorcycle accidents, normally due to cell phone use, inattention, disregarding traffic laws, driving under the influence of alcohol or speeding.  Because of the catastrophic injuries that can result, you may very well require long term medical care.  Permanent disability can result, causing you to be unable to have gainful employment.  In addition to these factors, the emotional and physical trauma and suffering that occurs can be life changing.  When the personal injury lawyers at Smith & Stallworth represent you for your motorcycle injury claim, we take all of these factors into consideration when negotiating a strong settlement on your behalf.  We provide you with care and understanding under these difficult times, and will do our utmost to obtain financial reward to compensate you for your losses.  To find out how we can help you, contact our office today.
