Motorcycle Accidents
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has reported a 10% increase in motorcycle accident-related deaths between the years of 2003 and 2007. Some studies suggest that almost 80% of motorcycle accidents result in death as compared to 20% of auto accidents.In addition, over 50,000 persons are injured each year in motorcycle accidents. Motorcycle drivers and riders are particularly vulnerable when traffic accidents occur due to the lack of protective structures that shield car occupants.
Even if a motorcycle driver takes all safety precautions( helmet, clothing, etc.), a motorcycle can be “invisible” to an inattentive driver. The results of such inattention can be devastating as shown by the statistics.
Pursuing justice for the injured motorcycle rider requires skill and expertise because of the different laws,bio-mechanical considerations and the sometimes negative attitudes of some jurors. The Law office of David Glatthorn brings over 25 years of experience and personal attention in seeking justice for the victims of motorcycle related accidents.
Recovering Damages in Car Accidents
Accident victims can collect damages from the negligent party and insurance companies for medical bills and future care required, lost wages, and loss of future earnings, pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life. In a fatal car crash, family members may sue for wrongful death damages, including economic loss, emotional anguish and loss of consortium of the loved one.
Florida is a "comparative negligence" state, meaning that negligence on the victim's part (e.g., not wearing a seat belt) will reduce any award. We seek to show that the preponderance of negligence was with the driver who caused the crash.
