North Tampa isn’t the safest place to ride a motorcycle. With the hectic I-275 and all of the traffic surrounding the University of South Florida and Busch Gardens, and because of the way North Tampa drivers and motorcyclists interact, collisions involving motorcycles tragically occur all too frequently. Florida in general is a dangerous place for riders; the number of annual motorcycle fatalities in the state has more than doubled over the last 20 years. If you’re a motorcyclist who has been seriously injured in a collision that wasn’t your fault, you have a right to make a claim for monetary compensation with the at-fault party’s insurance company. However, it will likely take a fight to recover the fair amount you deserve. That’s why you should enlist the help of our aggressive North Tampa motorcycle accident injury lawyers! We’re dedicated to winning. Our talented team has won over $1 billion for our clients, and we can win a significant settlement for you! You don’t pay our legal fee until we win your case.

You Deserve Justice For Your Injuries. The Experienced North Tampa Motorcycle Accident Injury Lawyers At The Florida Law Group Know What It Takes To Achieve It!
When another driver’s careless or reckless actions lead to your severe injuries, you shouldn’t have to pay for any resulting medical expenses; you deserve full compensation for all of those, as well as for any lost wages you incurred and for any pain you endured as a result of the motorcycle crash. But because insurance companies are more concerned with their bottom lines than your best interests, they will typically do anything in their power to avoid paying you. If you’re trying to heal from the physical and emotional trauma of the crash, it can be exhausting and frustrating to try to make your case, which is why you need a law firm to advocate for you. Our North Tampa attorney team will take the time to listen to your story, investigate your accident, set realistic expectations, connect you to quality medical care, ensure you clearly understand your legal options, and work to settle with the insurance company or take them to court, if necessary, for the amount your injuries are worth. We’re not afraid of going to trial! We will do everything in our power to get you paid.
Common Types Of Motorcycle Accident Injuries In North Tampa
Because motorcyclists are unprotected in the same way that other drivers are, and because bikes are so much smaller than cars and other commercial vehicles on the road, any collision involving a motorcycle can result in catastrophic injuries sustained by the motorcylist. You may be hospitalized for a long time. Some injuries (particularly brain and spine injuries) may never fully heal, and may negatively affect your quality of life forever, requiring expensive and lifelong care. If you were injured and another driver was responsible, you shouldn’t have to shoulder the burden of the costs from the accident alone. Below are some of the most common injuries that we’ve encountered as attorneys representing injured motorcyclists in North Tampa and beyond:
- Road rash/burns
- Whiplash
- Lacerations
- Broken limbs
- Internal bleeding
- Organ damage
- Disfigurement
- Spinal cord injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
- And more.
How Much Can You Recover In Damages?
This is one of the most commonly asked questions by motorcycle accident victims, and the answer is that it depends on the specific circumstances of your case and is impossible to tell without discussing your case with you first (which is why we offer a free consultation where you can speak to our attorneys). Factors that could influence how much you’re able to recover include whether or not you shared any percentage at fault for the accident, how extensive your injuries were, how much your treatment costs amounted to, how much documentation exists to back up your claim, how much insurance the other driver had, and more. Some of the most common categories our clients are able to seek damages for include:
- ambulatory transport (if applicable)
- surgery/surgeries (if applicable)
- hospitalization (if applicable)
- medical devices (if applicable)
- medications (if applicable)
- physical therapy (if applicable)
- chiropractic care (if applicable)
- mental health counseling (if applicable)
- copays (if applicable)
- deductibles (if applicable)
- rehabilitation (if applicable)
- lost wages from time missed recovering out of work (if applicable)
When you add up all of these costs, they could add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars out of pocket, even if you have great health insurance. Depending on how strong your case is, our North Tampa motorcycle accident injury lawyers can potentially recover all of the money you spent plus damages for the pain and suffering you endured. If reckless driving or drunk driving was a factor in your case, you may be able to win punitive damages (special compensation designed to punish the defendant). You may be entitled to more than you expect (or more than the insurance adjuster has led you to believe).
