Dedicated Motorcycle Accident Lawyers Fight for Injured Motorcyclists’ Right to Compensation in Broward County

Every single motor vehicle accident creates the risk of injuries, but that risk is magnified dramatically when one of the parties to a crash is riding on a motorcycle. Motorcycle accidents are, in many cases, caused by the fact that the driver of a much larger vehicle may not see the motorcycle on the roads. In Pembroke Pines and South Florida, this risk is even more pronounced because of the many tourists are area attracts who, naturally, are unfamiliar with the roads and may be paying more attention to their GPS or simply finding their destination. Unfortunately, the consequences to you, as a motorcyclist involved in the accident, can be devastating. At Lawlor, White & Murphey, our Pembroke Pines motorcycle accident lawyers are passionate about protecting truck accident victims’ rights when they are injured.

Adding insult to (literal) injury is the fact that it is commonly more difficult for motorcycle accident victims to recover compensation without a fight. Many people, insurance adjusters and defense attorneys included, have a bias toward motorcyclists and tend to automatically assume that the motorcycle driver is the person who caused the accident. In fact, studies show that the exact opposite is true and that most motorcycle accidents are caused by the negligence of someone driving a traditional motor vehicle.

While there is no way to fully make you whole again after you suffer serious injuries in a motorcycle accident, our experienced Pembroke Pines motorcycle accident lawyers will work tirelessly to make sure you do not suffer financially in addition to your physical suffering. You have just as much of a right to use the roadways in Pembroke Pines as a motorcyclist, and we will fight to protect your rights throughout the entire legal process.
