Who’s At Fault?

Put Our Wesley Chapel Motorcycle Accident Injury Lawyers On the Case!

While Personal Injury Protection (PIP) auto insurance is mandatory for automobile drivers in Florida, it does not cover motorcycles, which can leave a motorcyclist in financial distress following an accident. Of course, before you can proceed with a legal case to get compensation for injuries, a party must be identified as legally responsible for the motorcycle accident. This may include:

  • The motorcycle manufacturer
  • The driver of another vehicle
  • The government agency responsible for maintaining safe roadways
  • The repair shop responsible for work on the bike
  • The motorcycle rental company

A party is considered “at fault” when they are negligent, doing something to cause the crash. Types of negligence include:

  • Comparative Negligence: The injured party shares fault with the defendant.
  • Gross Negligence: Negligent actions that go beyond simple carelessness (e.g., a drunk driver).
  • Vicarious Liability: Negligence of one party that another party is responsible for (e.g., local government’s responsibility for bus drivers).

Your insurance will assess these four elements of negligence to determine fault:

  • Duty of Care: The driving conduct of the at-fault party compared to that of the victim.
  • Causation: The negligent actions of the at-fault party must have caused the accident that resulted in your injuries.
  • Damages: Proof that you sustained injuries (medical bills, lost wages post-injury, etc.).
  • Breach of Duty: The at-fault driver breached their duty to act carefully by failing to follow traffic rules.

When you choose Lowman Law Firm for your Wesley Chapel personal injury attorney or wrongful death attorney, we will:

  • Meet with you at no cost to discuss your options and to understand how your injury occurred.
  • File all necessary paperwork to help you get the compensation you deserve.
  • Keep in contact with you during your case, providing your attorney’s cell phone number so you can reach out directly anytime.
  • Obtain all documentation available to support your injury case including medical bills and physician testimony.
  • Collect any available evidence related to your accident, including any proof that the other party is at fault when possible.
  • Defend your rights throughout the legal process, and we do not collect a fee unless you win!
