Florida Bike Crash Lawyer
It's a common misperception that motorcyclists drive recklessly and are usually at fault when they are involved in a collision with a car. But the truth is, in most motorcycle-car collisions, the auto driver was at fault. And the most common reason car drivers give at the time of the motorcycle accident is this: "I didn't see him."
If you were injured, or a family member died in a motorcycle crash caused by another driver's inattention or reckless driving, you have a right to seek compensation and justice.

"But the motorcyclist got a ticket from the police."
After an accident, the police officer who responds to the call does a preliminary assessment of the accident site, talks to a few witnesses, and assigns blame. But that initial assessment may be wrong.
- The officer may not have talked to all the witnesses.
- He may not have gathered all the evidence.
- Or worse, if the motorcyclist was in bad shape and was taken to the hospital, the officer had only the car driver's word for what happened.
Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach and Boca Raton motorcycle accident attorney Corey Leifer has handled hundreds of personal injury and wrongful death cases. He doesn't rely solely on the police report, but works with an independent accident investigator to gather the facts. Even if the cyclist was partially at fault in the motorcycle crash, we may still be able to bring a claim for the contributing actions of the other driver.
We work to build a strong case after a motorcycle accident
Overcoming prejudices against motorcycle riders is one critical part to getting you the compensation you need. We do this in negotiations with the insurance company and in trial by building a strong case based on evidence and witness testimony.
- Did a car cut the motorcycle off by making a left-hand turn? That's common.
- Did the car pass too close, or crowd the cycle off the road? Sandy, bumpy road conditions that don't affect a car can cause a bike to skid and lay down.
- Did the car driver just negligently change lanes, running right into the cyclist?
All of these are common auto driver errors that can have fatal results for the motorcyclist.
