What to do after a motorcycle accident?
After a motorcycle accident, you should seek immediate medical attention. Additionally, be sure to document the injuries you sustained and the damage to your motorcycle. It is typically a good idea to take pictures of your injuries and include a date stamp in the photo, so that you can document the healing process. It may take months or even years for your case to go to trial. You want to make sure that you document and preserve all evidence related to your motorcycle accident.
PIP Insurance for motorcycles
Personal Injury Protection Insurance (commonly referred to as PIP) is not required for motorcycles in Florida. PIP is only required for vehicles that have 4 or more wheels. While PIP insurance is not required, PIP coverage may be available depending on your insurance policy. You must seek medical treatment within 14 days or you will waive any potential PIP coverage available.
Uninsured Motorist Cover for Motorcycles
If you ride a motorcycle, it is good idea to carry uninsured motorist coverage. Uninsured Motorist coverage provides insurance coverage if you are in an accident and the individual at-fault is uninsured or underinsured. In Florida, bodily injury coverage is not required. If you are in an accident and the at-fault driver lacks insurance coverage, you could be liable for massive medical bills. Uninsured motorist coverage helps provide compensation in the event that the at-fault driver does not have sufficient coverage to cover the medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages that may occur.
Statute of limitations for Motorcycle Accidents
In Florida, the statute of limitations for a motorcycle accident is 4 years from the date of the accident. However, a wrongful death claim must be filed within 2 years of the decedent passing away.
Motorcycle accidents present a unique set of circumstances, as the injuries are typically significantly different than the injuries that would occur from a car accident. It is important to retain an attorney that will be able to properly calculate your damages based upon the unique injuries that are incurred from a motorcycle accident. If you are in a motorcycle accident, contact our office for a free case evaluation.

Will an insurance company follow me after an accident?
An insurance company could hire a private investigator to follow you, if they believe that you are exaggerating your injuries or not being truthful about your injuries. If you are caught on camera playing sports or engaging in activities that negate your claim, the video could be admissible in court and may significantly hurt your case. The best policy is to always be open and honest with both your doctors and your accident lawyer regarding your injuries and your treatment. It is important to not over exaggerate or under exaggerate your injuries. If you have any pain or discomfort, you must convey that information to the doctor. As long as you are being honest with your doctor and accident attorney, you should have nothing to worry about. However, you never want to be in a situation where the defense attorney is able to impeach your credibility by showing a video of you doing an activity that you previously testified you were unable to perform because of your injuries. When it comes to any injury or accident case, honesty is always the best policy.

MEDICAL TREATMENT AFTER YOUR INJURY
After you have been involved in an accident, you should seek medical treatment as soon as possible. Florida Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage requires that you receive initial treatment from a physician, nurse practitioner, or clinic within 14 days from the date of your accident. Unless you have received critical or serious injuries that require emergency treatment, your natural instinct is probably to make an appointment with your family physician. Unfortunately, most primary care physicians will not see patients if it is for treatment related to injuries from an automobile accident, even if you have been a longstanding patient with their practice.
Primary care physicians typically won’t see auto accident victims because:
Most primary care physicians are not accustomed to treating auto accident injuries. Your primary care physician handles a lot of illnesses and injuries every day, but probably not the kind of injuries sustained in car accidents. Whiplash, bulging discs, and soft tissue injuries require proper diagnosis, care, and documentation. It’s crucial to get the proper diagnosis and treatment of your injuries from someone who is specifically qualified to do so.
Some doctors cannot properly bill for the visit. When you are injured in a car accident your medical treatment is covered by your insurance policy’s Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage. PIP billing can be complicated, which means many primary care physician offices often choose not to see patients who will be covered by PIP. In addition to the fact that accident injuries may not be their primary area of focus, it makes sense to seek treatment from a car accident specialist.
Common Motorcycle Injuries
Head Injuries: Head and neck injuries are common with motorcycle accidents. If there is any contact between your skull and any object, including the pavement, you must immediately seek medical treatment. Concussions can have severe consequences, even including death. Additionally, the sudden impact of a car accident can cause severe neck injuries.
Road Rash: Road rash is caused when the body drags against the pavement scraping away clothing and skin, which may result is significant injuries that need medical attention. Road rash should always be treated by a medical professional as infections are common. Additionally, depending on the severity, skin grafts could be necessary.
Muscle Damage: Depending on the severity of the motorcycle accident, muscle damage may result. The trauma of a motorcycle accident may stretch of tear muscles throughout the body, which may require extensive physical therapy and even surgery.
Biker’s Arm: When a motorcycle is involved in an accident, the rider’s natural instinct is to place their arms out in front to brace the fall. This often leads to a condition commonly referred to as “biker’s arm”. Biker’s arm may result in broken bones, nerve and muscle, damage, and road rash on the hands and arms. Just like any other injury, biker’s arm should immediately be treated by a medical professional.
Leg Injuries: Given the motorcycle’s design, injuries to the legs, knees, and feet are common after an accident. Fractured and broken bones often occur when the motorcycle lands on top of the rider. Additionally, riders may experience road rash, cuts, and bruises to the lower extremities.
