Establishing Fault

Every motorcycle accident claim is unique. At GOLDLAW, we pursue full compensation based on how your injuries have affected your life physically, emotionally, and financially. To recover damages after a motorcycle crash, it is necessary to establish several key elements:

• Duty of Care – The at fault driver had a legal obligation to operate their vehicle safely and share the road responsibly with motorcyclists.
• Breach – That driver failed to meet this obligation by engaging in careless or negligent behavior.
• Causation – The driver’s negligence directly caused the motorcycle accident and your injuries.
  
• Damages – You suffered measurable losses such as medical expenses, lost income, property damage, or pain and suffering.

Florida’s modified comparative negligence rule means your compensation may be reduced if you are found partially responsible for the accident. If a rider is found more than 50 percent responsible, compensation may not be available. GOLDLAW works to protect your rights, challenge unfair attempts to blame the motorcyclist, and present evidence that clearly establishes liability.

Insurance companies often attempt to settle motorcycle accident claims quickly and for less than they may be worth. Our legal team takes a different approach. We conduct thorough investigations, review crash reports and medical records, and work with accident reconstruction professionals, medical providers, and financial professionals to build a claim that reflects the full extent of your injuries and long term losses.
