Florida is one of the most beautiful states in the country, and its gorgeous weather, spectacular views, and long stretches of highway make it a prime choice for motorcyclists. However, while riding a motorcycle may seem like carefree fun, it is not without risks. In fact, Florida has the highest rate of motorcycle fatalities in the entire country, and that number continues to increase. Motorcycle accidents can cause costly and catastrophic injuries, and often the only way that victims are able to recover and get the help and support that they need to move forward in life, is by bringing a personal injury lawsuit to recover their damages. Below we go over how to build the strongest possible claim for recovery.

Tips for Building a Strong Personal Injury Claim After a Florida Motorcycle Accident

Whether you know it or not, you start building your claim at the scene of the accident. What you say to the other driver and to the police can heavily impact the outcome of your claim. You should be sure to say as little as possible before police arrive, as you will likely be in a disoriented state, and may say something that could hurt your claim later. Even processing the accident and how it occurred with the other driver can convolute the case. When you talk to the police, be sure to stick to the facts and never guess if you do not know the answer to something they ask. If you are injured or are experiencing any physical pain or discomfort, be sure to inform them so that they can include it in the report and get you proper medical care. Be sure to keep all medical records and documentation from the doctor to help support your claim.
