It is important to Contact Mitchell Fox as soon as possible after a motorcycle crash. The debris field, skid marks, and pavement scrapes are critical evidence. Both vehicles must be preserved. The scene is soon cleared, witnesses leave. We send our investigators quickly to the site, and may summon an accident reconstruction expert to determine what happened.

In collisions between a motorcycle and a car, four out of five cycle operators or passengers suffer injury, often life threatening or permanent. Traumatic brain injury, paralysis and spinal injury, amputation, back and neck injury, severe road rash abrasions and other catastrophic outcomes are common.  They frequently occur on Florida's roads and highways, such as State Road 7 (441), AIA, Powerline Roads, and Federal Highway US-1.  In fact, there has been an increase in serious injuries, brain injuries, and death since the repeal of the mandatory helmet law in July, 2000.

In a crash caused by the negligence of another driver, we aggressively pursue a lawsuit to cover all losses. Damages may include medical bills and future care required, lost earning potential, pain and suffering, and loss of quality of life. Victims may need surgery, physical therapy, special medical equipment, and vocational rehabilitation.

Liability and Insurance Issues

Mitchell Fox examines all sources of insurance coverage, including the motorcyclist’s own uninsured/underinsured motorist policy. If a third party is to blame (e.g., a road maintenance contractor, a defective motorcycle’s manufacturer), we pursue that claim too. In pedestrian or bicycle accidents, the auto insurance of the victim or a parent may cover damages.

If the motorcyclist or pedestrian was partly to blame (speeding, alcohol use), Florida’s comparative negligence law still allows the victim to seek compensation. Any award will be reduced proportionately, but we will demonstrate the negligence of all parties in fighting for your maximum compensation.

A lawsuit is filed when it becomes clear that litigation is a means to an end. Instead of wasting valuable time hoping the case will settle, contact Mitchell Fox so that he can take immediate action to file a lawsuit and preserve evidence that could make or break your case.

At a larger law firm, a senior partner may meet with you initially, then hand your case off to a paralegal or junior associate. At our firm, you are never lost in the shuffle because Florida motorcycle and pedestrian accident layer Mitchell Fox handles your claim personally.
