Types of Motorcycle Accidents in Lecanto, FL
Motorcycles offer riders a lot of freedom, but that freedom can turn fatal or cause personal injury. And, because Florida ranks #2 in motorcycle registrations (second only to California), a lot of accidents happen right here in the Sunshine State. They're also not uncommon in Lecanto, 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 Inverness due to any of these conditions, we can often help!
Who's At Fault?
Put Our Lecanto 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.

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

They were always asking about my health and seeing if there was anything else I needed and it was not just a question to ask for the heck of it I really felt their sincerity. Through the process I got all the help I needed for my physical and mental health along with help on things outside the case that I would’ve had no idea where to start.
