Naples / Bonita Springs / Port Charlotte / Ft. Myers Motorcycle Accident Attorneys
When motorcycle accidents occur, the results are often disastrous. Since 1996, over 100,000 motorcyclists have been killed in a motorcycle accident. Drivers of passenger cars and trucks have the duty and responsibility to operate their vehicles carefully and reasonably; this requires them to pay attention to all circumstances and road users. However, motorcyclists are often victims of collision where other drivers neglected to pay attention to their presence on our public roads or took sudden or improper action resulting in serious injuries or death.
The most important thing you can do when in an accident is to remain calm. Additionally, you should call the police and review the police report, if possible. Make sure you document details of the accident such as weather, road conditions, number and vehicles involved, insurance and license information of other drivers involved, and even diagram the incident to help in the resolution of the accident.
Remember that insurance companies can often be difficult to deal with and are not on the side of the accident victim. Their recommendations are beneficial to the insurance company, not you.
