Wrongful Death Motorcycle Accident Claims
August 16, 2021 | Category: Motorcycle Accidents, Wrongful Death | ShareFatal motorcycle accidents happen frequently in Southwest Florida. Local news media reported that there were three fatal motorcycle accidents in just two days in July 2021. Many motorcycle accidents can be avoided if motor vehicle drivers remain alert to their surroundings and look twice before turning. Approximately 42 percent of all motorcycle/car accidents occur when motorists make left-hand turns.
"Vehicle accidents involving the collision of a left-turning car and an approaching motorcycle can be very severe, often because the motorcycle t-bones the car while it is mid-way through the left turn,” says DrivingTests.org.
Under the Florida Wrongful Death Act, family members of a motorcyclist who dies in an accident because of the negligence of a motor vehicle driver have the right to pursue claims. Some of these claims may be for medical expenses, funeral expenses, loss of decedent’s earnings, pain and suffering, loss of love, care and companionship, and children’s loss of guidance and supervision.
