Motorcycle accidents remain a serious concern in and around Destin. In 2020, there were 122 motorcycle crashes reported in Okaloosa and Walton counties, averaging about one accident every three days. Tragically, 12 of those crashes resulted in fatalities.
The following year proved even more dangerous. As of the end of October 2021, there had already been 105 motorcycle accidents in the same area, with 15 lives lost.
Every case is different, so it is not possible to give an exact value upfront. You should be cautious of any attorney who claims they can do so without fully understanding your situation.
What we can promise is that we will fight relentlessly to recover the full compensation you are entitled to from the party responsible for your accident.
Several factors can influence the value of your case, including the severity of your injuries, whether you were wearing a helmet, and whether you may share any responsibility for the crash. The length of your recovery, the amount of time you are unable to work, and whether your injuries result in a long term disability also play an important role.
The true value of your case depends entirely on the specific details of your accident. Our team takes a thorough approach, carefully evaluating every expense and impact related to your injuries. You only have one opportunity to pursue compensation, so we work closely with your medical providers to fully understand your condition and the long term effects it may have on your life and financial future.
When you’ve been injured in a motorcycle accident caused by someone else, you can seek damages for all losses related to the crash.
Damages available to you in a personal injury case are generally in two categories:
Economic damages compensate you for monetary losses, such as:
You deserve to have all expenses covered when someone else is responsible for your injuries.
Non-economic damages can include:
Some damages have a specific price tag, and some are less tangible but severely diminish your quality of life. Both categories are often included in your award.
We’ll make sure to include everything possible in order to help improve your future after your accident. We often hire experts to help with projected costs.
Unfortunately, motorcycle accidents frequently result in multiple serious injuries, if not death.
If you or someone you love has been hurt, we stand ready to fight for any and all injuries you may have suffered as a result of this traumatic event.
Common injuries from motorcycle crashes may include:
You’re likely to be facing painful injuries. Recovery can be long and extremely challenging—physically, mentally, and emotionally. Not to mention that the medical expenses can be financially devastating. We work hard to get you the money you need to help you through this unbearable time.
Sadly, most motorcycle crashes are avoidable. They’re usually caused by someone’s negligence. Drivers of cars often aren’t watching for motorcycles.
Some common causes of motorcycle accidents are:
It’s not uncommon for accidents to have multiple causes. You need an experienced attorney to determine causation. Our comprehensive investigation will pinpoint all contributing causes so that we pursue every avenue of recovery for you.
Even in cases where it’s clear that someone else is at fault, negligence can be tricky to prove. That’s why you need a lawyer who has experience litigating personal injury claims.
To prove negligence, you must prove each of its four elements:
You’ll need compelling evidence to prove your case, such as:
Ease case is different. We’ll design a strategy specifically for you. Not cookie-cutter. We’ve successfully handled hundreds of injury cases. We know what it takes to win. Often, we present such compelling arguments that the defense throws in the towel before trial and offers a generous settlement.
But we are at home in the courtroom and we won’t hesitate to take your case to trial if the settlement doesn’t go your way. We’ll never pressure you into a settlement that is less than what you deserve. Your future is too important.
Nothing about accident cases is simple—even something as seemingly straightforward as a deadline to file your lawsuit.
You’ll have to file your lawsuit within two years to recover compensation for injuries. If you’re filing a wrongful death case due to the death of a family member, you also have to file within two years.
The deadlines could be shorter or longer depending on the specifics of your case. For example, claims against a government entity must be filed within three years.
There may be other important deadlines for insurance claims.
Which deadlines apply to you could vary depending on the circumstances of your accident. For example, suppose your accident was caused in part by a city bus (3-year deadline) and in part by brake failure (4-year deadline).
This highlights the importance of hiring an experienced Destin motorcycle accident attorney to handle your case. Brannon & Brannon Car Accident & Personal Injury Lawyers has over half a century of combined experience to bring to your case.
