Florida motorcyclists face unique challenges on the road. Bikers can be hard to spot by other drivers, especially at night. They can easily get lost in blind spots. Rough roads, bumps, railroad tracks, sharp curves, and potholes can prove deadly. Of even more concern is that accidents which may otherwise be minor for those driving cars and trucks could be disastrous for motorcyclists, whose bikes offer much less protection and fewer safety features than other vehicles.

The result, not surprisingly, is that motorcycle crash rates in Florida have doubled in the last decade, according to the Florida Crash Record Database. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Florida leads the nation in motorcycle fatalities.

The Law Firm of Johnson & Gilbert recognizes the dangers that motorcyclists face on the roads and understand that in most cases, bikers are not at fault for their motorcycle wrecks. Bikers are often stereotyped as dangerous drivers who take risks and speed, but the truth is that more often, cars and trucks are not aware of how to share the road or are not on the lookout for motorcyclists. At Johnson & Gilbert, we will work with you to piece together the particulars of your accident and to build your case. Motorcycle accident injuries can be expensive, debilitating, and have long-term consequences - we are dedicated to securing the compensation you both need and deserve to return your life to normalcy.

Recently, there have been serious motorcycle accidents across the state:
 

  • Motorcylist died in Holly Hill after rear-ended by drunk driver
  • An Arcadia motorcyclist was killed in a head-on hit-and-run accident in Manatee County on SR 70.
  • Rough roads caused a Clermont, FL, man to crash his motorcycle in Davenport on US 27 - he was thrown from his bike and died on the scene.
  • In Lakeland, FL, an SUV did not see an approaching motorcycle when turning on to Sanders Road. The biker died while both SUV occupants received serious injuries.
  • Two men were critically injured when their motorcycles collided in Tampa, Florida on US 41.
