Brooksville is known for its motorcycle scene. "No matter where you travel through Brooksville," says the Hernando Sun, "you will most definitely see at least a few on the road. Clearly, to residents, visitors, and people just traveling through, this quiet little place is obviously a city populated by riders of the iron horse.”
Unfortunately, motorcycles aren't easily spotted on the road among larger cars and trucks. So, when a motorcycle accident happens, it can lead to serious injury and even death. If you or a loved one suffered injury or wrongful death due to a motorcycle accident in Brooksville, then let our caring and knowledgeable experts go to work for you. The team at Lowman Law Firm cares about this community, and offers a free consultation – and you never pay until we win your case.

Who's At Fault?
Put Our Brooksville 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 Brooksville personal injury attorney or wrongful death attorney, we will:

- Obtain all documentation available to support your injury case including medical bills and physician testimony.
