Fatal Motorcycle Crash Every Week
Throughout Southwest Florida, including Cape Coral, Venice, Lehigh Acres, Port Charlotte, Ft Myers, Naples, and beyond, there has been at least one fatal motorcycle crash every week in this early 2011 (and several critical motorcycle wrecks occurring in just the few months leading up to 2011).
Some of these crashes were single-bike crashes, while others involved other motorists. Motorists must share the road with motorcyclists. There is simply too much to lose when careless drivers — often distracted within their vehicles — cause a motorcycle crash.
The losses are devastating to the surviving families of the victims. They must pick up the pieces of the lives, knowing they will no longer be able to share their dreams of a future with their loved one who was suddenly, and tragically, taken from them.
While a motorcycle crash attorney may help pursue a wrongful death claim on behalf of surviving family members, such a claim on its best day can only help in financial terms, as well as help the family understand what exactly happened and why. Financial security and stability of the family, in the wake of such a devastating loss of a loved one, is simply one measure of relief. Comforting the grief is really something only faith and love from the surviving family members and friends can provide.
At the Harris Law Firm PA, we understand the limits of what the law can and does provide. We’re here for the victims of such challenging times, and work hard to hold the negligent parties accountable for the losses they have caused. We pursue negligent motorists who cause fatal motorcycle crashes because we understand the depth of that loss.
As a personal injury attorney experienced in representing motorcycle injury victims, I may be able to help the family secure financial assistance and security through a wrongful death lawsuit or claim. As a friend, I can and will be that person you can talk to when perhaps other family members and friends are not enough. We care about each of our clients, which is why we work so hard for them.
If a loved one has been the victim of a fatal motorcycle crash, or injured in a serious motorcycle wreck, in Ft Myers, Cape Coral, Venice, Lehigh Acres, Port Charlotte, Naples, or elsewhere in Southwest Florida, then contact us for a prompt discussion about what has happened in your life. We’re here to help. God Bless.
Florida Motorcycle Injury Attorney Victims Can Call
A motorcycle crash is the source of so many hardships throughout Southwest Florida, including Cape Coral, Naples, Ft Myers, Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda, Bonita Springs, Lehigh Acres. When motorists don’t share the road, or simply don’t pay attention to others riding motorcycles around them, tragedies occur.
Among the injuries:
- neck injury
- back injury
- herniated disc
- paralysis
- spinal cord injury
- broken bones
- burns
- internal bleeding
- scarring
- disfigurement
- road rash
The toll in human suffering is enormous for every single victim, and every single family. We have to look out for each other out there. Preventing motorcycle crashes is key, and it’s simple.
For example, give yourself another 5 minutes for your commute so you don’t feel rushed. Put down that cell phone, and even if you’re using a hands-free cell phone, keep aware and alert of all that is going on around you on the road. Pay attention. Sounds simple, but fewer people are doing this than you realize. Stay aware that motorcyclists may be on either side of you and you just can’t see them in your side view mirrors — so take the split second to make sure your sides are clear before changing lanes.
Even a minor bump or sideswipe of a motorcyclist from a car is likely going to end in a catastrophic motorcycle crash.
