How much is my auto accident / motorcycle case worth?
This question is difficult to answer as it depends on many factors:

If someone else's negligence caused the auto accident and resulted in injuries, one of our lawyers can help you obtain any payment you are entitled to for your medical bills plus compensation for pain and suffering. This would include past and future medical bills.

If you were seriously injured and missed time from work, you may be entitled to compensation for lost wages or loss of earning capacity in the future. Our proven Miami, Florida auto accident lawyers can help you retain such compensation.

There is no crystal clear answer to this question or even a proven formula to determine exactly how much a case is worth. Usually the defendant’s insurance company, or in certain circumstances even your own insurance company may offer a bodily injury settlement , uninsured , or underinsured motorist settlement dependent upon many factors. Medical bills, Positive findings on MRI’s, EMG, NCV, or CT scans, Specialists indicating that these injuries were a direct result of the accident and you require some additional medical intervention. Moreover, due to this motorcycle accident you have suffered some permanent damage. Another factor is the liability of the defendant. These are all factors that as Florida private investigators, we can assist you and your Florida motorcycle accident attorney to establish. Our private investigation agency has assisted in literally thousands of injury accidents and has assisted south Florida injury attorneys during trial. We can obtain your medical records and bills from all providers, obtain the complete police report and any supplemental reports, obtain a declaration sheet from the defendant’s insurance as well as yours to have a clear picture of the value of your motorcycle accident case. Furthermore, we can possibly recommend one of the south Florida motorcycle accident or south Florida car accident attorneys that we have worked with to provide you with legal representation should you wish.

How long will it take to bring my auto accident case to a conclusion?
Within the scope of our investigation agency, we have found that the complexity of the accident as well as the particular injuries sustained are just a couple of the components in determining the time frame of the conclusion or settling your Florida motorcycle accident case.

I have full coverage, why am I not covered?
Almost on a daily basis, we hear that, “I have full coverage.” I can count on one hand how many times clients actually do have “full coverage”. Full coverage in Florida, usually indicates you have PIP, BI, UM / UIM, Med-Pay, Umbrella, and stacking when available. Even with all of the above listed coverages, this does not automatically imply that your bodily injury claim will be covered. Our Florida private investigators can either contact your insurance company for clarification on your insurance coverage(s), or we may be able to recommend a Florida motorcycle accident, or south Florida car accident lawyer that has proven results with our clients over the years.

Does my auto insurance cover my motorcycle accident?
Generally speaking in Florida, many motorcycle owners believe that they will be covered by their automobile insurance if they are involved in a crash. Unfortunately, this is not the case. In Florida, insurance is not required for the owner and rider of a motorcycle. Furthermore, the PIP coverage a motorcycle owner may have on his car will not cover the owner if injured on a motorcycle. Our south Florida private investigators can assist you with this process and investigate your claim, furthermore we may be able to recommend a Miami, Florida auto accident lawyer or Miami motorcycle accident attorney that can help answer more of your questions concerning motorcycle accidents in Florida.

What are the MMI and permanent impairment ratings?
As one of the final phases of your claim, prior to your potential settlement, you will reach MMI. Once a physician has decided you are at Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI), some doctor's assign, and insurance company's request, a permanent impairment rating (PIR). This does not mean that you are back to the physical or mental condition you were at prior to the accident, it simply means your condition has stabilized and you have suffered a loss and some measure of permanent bodily injury. At the conclusion of your treatment with a doctor, our Miami, Florida car and motorcycle accident private investigators can request a final narrative of your condition from the treating doctors. We would also request your medical records indicating your raiting from each specialist such as a chiropractor, orthopaedic surgeon, or neurologist. This is generally done pursuant to American Medical Association (AMA) guidelines. A permanent impairment rating technically is not called for as a basis at trial in a Florida motorcycle, or automobile case, but many automobile insurance companies like to have the impairment rating so they can evaluate your case for potential value after your demand is submitted. Our south Florida private investigators can assist you with this process and investigate your claim, furthermore we may be able to recommend a Miami, Florida auto accident lawyer or Miami motorcycle accident attorney that can help answer more of your questions concerning motorcycle accidents in Florida. These attorneys will be more than willing to offer you a FREE consultation, and if they take your case they will work on a contingency basis.

What is my next step?
A comprehensive review of your claim will further be investigated. Illustrations of the accident scene, property damage pictures, property damage receipts, medical bills and records along with a demand to the appropriate insurance company will be prepared. Prior to sending this off to the proper party, a final review will be completed with you to ensure that you did not see any additional physicians or have any special tests such as MRI, CAT scans, EMG, or NCV tests or any lost wages. Once we are confident that we have all of the facts, we will usually complete an asset search on the defendant or responsible party and submit the demand package to the insurance company. Like almost every other paragraph that preceded this,… If you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident, motorcycle accident, or any other scooter or bicycle accident our Miami, Florida private investigators can possibly recommend a Miami motorcycle accident attorney, Miami car accident attorney to assist you with your claim.

What to do after a Car, Motorcycle, or Auto Accident
Our advice following a Florida car, motorcycle, or auto accident is as follows: The moments immediately after a car, motorcycle, or auto accident require clear, rational thinking to protect yourself and your personal property. There are a number of steps you can take to increase your chances of financial recovery and the amount of that recovery in your Florida motorcycle accident, auto accident, car accident, or bicycle accident case. Our Miami, Florida car, motorcycle, and auto accident private investigators suggest the following steps:

Insist that a report for car or motorcycle accidents be filed with the Miami or Florida State Police, or the police department where the accident occurred.

Document as much as you can about the car, motorcycle, bicycle / scooter, or auto accident or injury itself. Our Miami, Florida car, motorcycle, and auto accident private investigator will need to know every detail about your injuries, any other losses (such as wages) you have suffered as a result of the accident. Moreover, any conversation you had with anyone involved in the accident including any statements to any insurance company.

Talk to no one about the car, motorcycle, or auto accident or injuries other than your private investigator, attorney or physician. You especially do not want to speak with an insurance adjuster. We can, at your request potentially recommend a personal injury attorney that has proven results with many of our cases in the past that will be happy to assist you.

Be sure to take photos of the car, motorcycle, bicycle / scooter, or auto accident scene, including any visible injuries and the vehicles involved. If you failed to do this, document the exact location and our Florida private investigators can take pictures and satellite images to assist with the reconstruction schematic if necessary.

Get the contact information of anyone who witnessed the accident who may be able to help prove your case.

Immediately seek medical attention following a car, motorcycle, bicycle / scooter, or auto accident. Be sure to explain how the injuries occurred to your doctor or surgeon. You need to mention any sensations of pain, radiating pain, disorientation, confusion, memory lapses, or other conditions you have sustained as a result of this accident. Ask the doctor to take pictures of your bruises, cuts, or any visible injuries. If the doctor does not do this routinely, we will be more than willing to document these injuries.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

It is legal in the State of Florida for those over the age of 20 to operate a motorcycle without a helmet. However, insurance companies may attempt to shift the blame from the at-fault driver to the motorcyclist, and argue that the motorcyclist contributed to his or her injury by not wearing a helmet, even when the accident was not their fault. If you were involved in a motorcycle accident and were not wearing a helmet, you need an experienced motorcycle attorney to handle your case. Failure to wear a helmet makes motorcyclists particularly vulnerable to traumatic brain injury, or TBI, in the event of an accident. TBI is a serious brain injury that can affect personality, speech, cognitive thinking, motor skills, and all other abilities. Many patients with a TBI are no longer able to work; most of those require full-time care and suffer extreme financial hardships as a result of mounting medical bills. The emotional trauma resulting from such brain injuries often affects the victim’s family, as well. In many cases, accidents that result in such serious injuries as TBI are the fault of reckless or negligent automobile or truck drivers. If someone you love has sustained a traumatic brain injury, our attorneys in South Florida may be able to help you. Contact the Law Offices of Paul S. Rosenberg, David E. Rosenberg, and Abe Rosenberg at the law firm of Rosenberg & Rosenberg, P.A. for a review of your case today.

Disfigurement


Because motorcyclists do not have the impact-reducing shell that automobile drivers have to protect them during accidents, motorcycle riders are at increased risk for severe injury. Hard falls, collision impact, bone breaks, burns, and other injuries can cause permanent disfigurement. This disfigurement is not only emotionally difficult to accept, but it can also affect the victim’s ability to perform job duties, interact comfortably in social situations, and even complete daily tasks. It can ultimately lead to severe depression or the inability to function normally. If you or a loved one has been disfigured in a motorcycle accident, our attorneys in South Florida may be able to help you obtain compensation for your pain, suffering, and other damages. Please contact the Law Offices of Paul S. Rosenberg, David E. Rosenberg, and Abe Rosenberg at the law firm of Rosenberg & Rosenberg, P.A. today for an evaluation of your case.

Fatal Injuries

Distracted, aggressive drivers are prevalent on our highways, and accidents are an everyday occurrence. Often, these accidents involve motorcycle riders. While many of these accidents prove to be minor, many others ultimately result in fatal injuries. If you have lost a loved one as a result of someone else’s negligence or recklessness, our motorcycle accident attorneys in South Florida can help. Even if you are not sure whether the other driver was at fault, please contact the Law Offices of Paul S. Rosenberg, David E. Rosenberg, and Abe Rosenberg at the law firm of Rosenberg & Rosenberg, P.A. for a review of your case. Paul S. Rosenberg, David E. Rosenberg, and Abe Rosenberg at the law firm of Rosenberg & Rosenberg, P.A. is one of the most experienced motorcycle accident attorneys in Florida and is ready to help you and your family in your time of need.

Fractures

A fall during a motorcycle accident can result in any number of debilitating injuries, including road rash, sprains, cuts, and fractures. Bone fractures are particularly painful and require a lengthy recovery. Having to wear a cast can seriously affect your ability to go about your daily activities. You might be unable to perform your job duties, exercise, or participate in recreational activities. You may also lose the ability to drive. If you or a loved one has suffered a fracture in a motorcycle accident, the attorneys at the Law Offices of Paul S. Rosenberg, David E. Rosenberg, and Abe Rosenberg at the law firm of Rosenberg & Rosenberg, P.A. in the South Florida area may be able to help. We are experienced in all areas of personal injury law and will build the strongest case possible to ensure that those at fault are made to answer for their negligence.

Road Rash

A common injury for motorcycle accident victims, “road rash” consists of severe bruises, cuts, and scraps usually acquired from sliding across the asphalt. While many motorcyclists wear special attire such as thick, durable denim or leather, they are still susceptible to these painful skin injuries. While the cuts and scrapes can be minor, if left untreated or infection develops, “road rash” can become more serious.

Although many motorcyclists wear clothing made of such thick, durable materials as denim or leather, they are still susceptible to painful skin injuries when they are involved in an accident. Known collectively as “road rash,” injuries such as bruises, skinned knees, and wounds with gravel in them can become serious if an infection develops or if they go untreated. Road rash can also be traumatic in cases of high-speed crashes. If you or someone you love has suffered road rash in a motorcycle accident, our attorneys in Hollywood, Florida would be pleased to review your case absolutely free. Please contact the Law Offices of Paul S. Rosenberg, David E. Rosenberg, and Abe Rosenberg at the law firm of Rosenberg & Rosenberg, P.A. today.

Spinal Cord Injuries

Among the most debilitating of all injuries, spinal cord injuries are almost always long-term and result in permanent injuries in most cases. A majority of victims require full-time care and will never be able to work again. Many motorcycle accidents resulting in spinal cord injuries are caused by someone else’s negligent or careless driving. If you or a loved one has suffered a spinal cord injury, the attorneys at the Law Offices of Paul S. Rosenberg, David E. Rosenberg, and Abe Rosenberg at the law firm of Rosenberg & Rosenberg, P.A. may be able to help you obtain compensation for your damages. Please contact our attorneys in Hollywood / Ft. Lauderdale / Miami/ Miami-Dade / Pompano / Palm Beach / Orlando or anywhere in Florida, for a FREE review of your case.

Wrongful Death

The loss of a loved one is traumatic enough, but when that loss is someone else’s fault, the pain is intensified. A drunk driver who kills a motorcyclist, an inattentive semi-truck driver who collides with a motorcyclist, or a hit-and-run driver can all be held liable in cases of wrongful death. If you have lost a loved one due to the negligence or recklessness of another driver, please contact our motorcycle accident attorneys in Florida today for an evaluation of your case. The Law Offices of Paul S. Rosenberg, David E. Rosenberg, and Abe Rosenberg at the law firm of Rosenberg & Rosenberg, P.A. may be able to help you obtain compensation for your damages.

Defective Equipment

Although motorcycles are subjected to rigorous safety tests, substandard equipment is sometimes made available to the public. Defective tires, brakes, and other motorcycle parts can cause riders to lose control of their bikes, putting them at serious risk for injury or even death. Defective helmets fail to protect motorcyclists from head injury, including traumatic brain injury. Our attorneys in Florida have helped many motorcycle accident victims and their families obtain compensation from those responsible for faulty equipment. If you or a loved one has been injured due to defective motorcycle equipment, please contact the Law Offices of Paul S. Rosenberg, David E. Rosenberg, and Abe Rosenberg at the law firm of Rosenberg & Rosenberg, P.A. today.

Hazardous Road Conditions

Motorcycle riders are more vulnerable to injury than any other driver on the road. When unduly hazardous road conditions exist, the likelihood of a motorcycle rider suffering a substantial injury increases dramatically. Unmarked areas of road construction, surfaces that freeze quickly and aren’t marked with warning signs, slippery roads, dangerous speed limits, and unmarked curves can all contribute to motorcycle accidents. If you or someone you love has been injured in a motorcycle accident due to hazardous road conditions, our attorneys in Florida may be able to help you obtain damages for your pain, suffering, and losses. Contact the Law Offices of Paul S. Rosenberg, David E. Rosenberg, and Abe Rosenberg at the law firm of Rosenberg & Rosenberg, P.A. if you have any questions or would like for us to review your case.
