Fort Lauderdale Motorcycle Crash Accident Lawyers
Motorcycle riders have all the same rights and responsibilities as any other vehicle on the road. It is the responsibility of every motorist to see motorcycles and give them the same respect that would be given to a passenger vehicle. Unfortunately, people usually don't see motorcycles, which leaves riders extremely vulnerable every time they take to the road.
If you are the victim of an accident that was caused by an inattentive driver, you may have a claim for financial compensation from the negligent parties. The West Palm Beach motorcycle accident attorneys at the law firm of Babbitt, Johnson, Osborne & Le Clainche have extensive experience representing motorcycle riders who have suffered serious injuries.
Our team helped obtain a $2.75 million award against the Japanese manufacturer of a defective helmet. Our client, a motorcyclist, suffered a brain injury when a vehicle turned in front of him and the retention strap on his buckled helmet came undone. The helmet flew off, and he struck his head on the pavement. The plaintiff alleged that the helmet manufacturer did not provide proper instructions or take proper precautions to prevent misthreading of the helmet strap.
Motorcycle riders can suffer extremely serious injuries, including traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries that could lead to a lifetime of hardship. Memory loss, trouble with motor skills and nerve damage are just the beginning of the problems victims could face following the accident. These cases can be very complex because the full extent of the injuries may not be immediately apparent.
We investigate your case from every angle and pursue every negligent party in an effort to maximize your recovery. Beyond the other driver's negligence, we look at equipment failures, faulty traffic lights, poorly designed or maintained roads and any other factors that may have contributed to the cause of your accident. We use this information to identify all negligent parties and explore the viability of pursuing a claim for damages against them.
