As with any accident that results in injury or property damage, the primary thing that a victim of a motorcycle crash must do is establish liability. We all owe each other a duty of care out on the road, which means that we must not take unnecessary risks or operate our vehicles in manners that put others at undue risk. If a driver sideswipes a motorcyclist while turning left because they were texting, looking in the backseat for something, or otherwise not paying attention to the road ahead, they have broken their duty of care, in the eyes of Florida law. In fact, vehicles making left turns account for 42 percent of all motorcycle accidents, according to one source. Proving that they operated their vehicle in a such a way can be more difficult, which is why a motorcycle accident lawyer is crucial to any personal injury lawsuit. Placing a value on your injuries and other damages is another difficult aspect of a motorcycle accident claim. Not only are past medical bills taken into account, but future treatments as well as pain and suffering must be factored in as well.
