If you have been hurt or lost a loved one in a crash, a motorcycle accident attorney may be vital in asserting your rights.

Establishing Liability for Injuries Sustained in a Motorcycle Rollover Accident

Many people know the dangers associated with motorcycles, which offer little protection when involved in a collision. More than 80 percent of these accidents lead to serious injuries or a death. When a motorcycle rolls or flips over, these risks increase. Rollover accidents present an enhanced likelihood of ejection from the vehicle, as well as brain trauma.

Many different elements may be involved in causing a motorcycle rollover, such as a poorly maintained road. Often, however, these kinds of accidents are the result of another motorist’s negligent driving. If you have been hurt in a rollover crash, you can potentially pursue damages from a liable party by filing a personal injury lawsuit alleging negligence. To show negligence, an injured plaintiff must establish that the defendant breached his or her duty to act as a reasonably prudent person would have acted under similar circumstances. He or she must also establish a causal link connecting the breach with the injuries sustained. For instance, if a driver is excessively speeding down a highway and switches lanes without checking for oncoming traffic, colliding with a motorcycle, the driver likely could be held liable for damages from the resulting injuries.

Even if a motorcyclist is partially at fault for a rollover accident in Florida, he or she may still recover some damages from other responsible parties. Since Florida is a pure comparative fault state, a motorcyclist who is found to be 35 percent responsible for his or her own injuries, for example, may still be able to receive up to 65 percent of the damages from another party. Compensation may be awarded in the forms of past and future medical costs, loss of income and lost earning capacity, pain and suffering, and loss of consortium, among other items. If a rollover accident results in a loss of life, moreover, family members have two years from the date of the victim’s death to pursue damages in a wrongful death claim.
