In fact, the most recent data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reveals an estimated 84,000 motorcyclists are injured each year. Of course, some of those accidents happen right here in Spring Hill.

Types of Motorcycle Accidents in Spring Hill, FL

For many riders, motorcycling isn’t just a way to get around, but a way of life! There’s nothing quite like the open road in stretching out in front of you on your motorcycle. Of course, because Florida ranks #2 in motorcycle registrations, a lot of accidents happen in the Sunshine State. They’re also not uncommon in Spring Hill, and a lot of factors can contribute to motorcycle accidents.

  • Vehicles making left-hand turns
  • Motorcycle lane splitting
  • Drivers under the influence
  • Fatigued drivers
  • Distracted drivers (e.g., texting, eating, etc)
  • Reckless drivers (e.g., speeding, driving too closely behind another vehicle, taking corners too quickly)
  • Aggressive drivers (i.e., road rage)
  • Inexperienced riders
  • Heavy rains and winds
  • Hazardous road conditions

If you’ve been involved in a motorcycle accident in Spring Hill due to any of these conditions, we can often help!

Who’s At Fault?

Put Our Spring Hill 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.
