Auto Drivers vs Motor cyclists

I always try to keep my blogs current so I’m always looking for events that I can write about, so between the daily newspaper reports, the television news, the local newspapers and just being on the road I find events and near mishaps that I can write about. Daily South Floridians are on the road dealing with others users of the roadways from automobile drivers to motor cyclist, bicyclist, pedestrians, and even those golf carts can be seen on the road daily.

I wrote in one of my previous blogs about a motor cyclist being run off the road avoiding a car that veered into his lane. My response was to seek legal counsel as only an experienced Motor Cycle accident injury attorney would be able inform you as to whether you are able to file claim.

The scenario was an inattentive driver veering into your lane and forcing you off the road, causing the rider and his passenger minor injury but serious damages to his motor cycle. I listed practices for him to follow to present to his Attorney should he have sought legal counsel to file claim. Retrieve as much information as possible from a description of the vehicle and driver to the license tag if you are able to, always remember to call 911 and make sure you get a copy of the accident report. Last but not least report the accident to your Insurance Company, remember not to give any statements to the Insurance Company’s investigators as they will be conducting their investigations seeing that the other vehicle involved in the accident fled the scene.
