Fort Lauderdale Motorcycle Accident kills one, injures two

A Fort Lauderdale motorcycle accident took the life of one man and resulted in two serious personal injuries on Friday, May 2, 2008. Motorcycle crashes, obviously, often result in catastrophic injuries. They are most often the result of automobile driver negligence, but sometimes are the result of the negligence of the driver of the motorcycle. Passengers who are injured in cases where the motorcycle driver is at fault possess completely legitimate claims against the driver and/or his insurance company; motorcyclists injured by negligent vehicle operators not only have claims versus those negligent persons, but also find it easier in litigation if the personal injuries are not necessarily permanent. This is because in Florida those who are injured on a motorcycle generally are not barred from suing simply because they did not suffer a permanent injury, where that prohibition does exist in some other types of automobile cases.

We have successfully handled these types of cases, and recently received a large verdict in Naples, Florida, in a case where a care made a left turn in front of a motorcycle, causing the motorcyle to crash into the automobile, and resulting in serious personal injuries to both riders of the motorcycle.
