Hit and Run Motorcycle Accidents in South Florida

When a person intentionally, negligently or recklessly causes injury to another in a motorcycle accident, the person who was injured has a legal right to file a personal injury claim and/or file a lawsuit against the at-fault party in order to recover compensation for their injuries. In some instances, the personal injuries can be severe and possibly lead to death. This is especially true in motorcycle accidents. While the types of injuries that can be sustained in motorcycle accidents can vary—fatality rates tend to be much higher when compared to car accidents only involving motor vehicles. This is largely due to the fact that motorcycles offer little protection from road hazards, other vehicles, and weather conditions in the event of an accident. As such, most  motorcycle accidents are caused when a rider collides with another car or some type of fixed object on the roadway or when a rider loses control of their bike due to weather conditions or road hazards. Additionally, some motorcycle accidents are hit-and-run accidents. Hit and run accidents occur when the at-fault party leaves the scene of an accident after a crash. As it pertains to motorcycle accidents, this behavior can be especially egregious because the motorcyclist may be left in life-threatening condition. Tragically, hit and run accidents involving motorcycles take the life of many riders each year in Florida.
