Compensation Is Often Available for Injured Coral Springs, FL, Motorcyclists
When you work with Ged Lawyers, you can count on us to investigate what happened, build a compelling case, and document your recoverable damages. You need evidence demonstrating the injuries, expenses, and losses you endured to recover a fair payout via:
- A negotiated settlement with the insurance carrier.
- A win in arbitration or another alternative dispute resolution option.
- A jury trial and verdict.
Each case is unique, so your potential compensation depends significantly on the facts of your case. We need evidence to show how much the accident cost you and what you might need to “make you whole,” as the justice system aims to do.
We understand no amount of money will ever make up for the pain and suffering you endured or reverse any permanent injuries you suffered. However, you must seek appropriate compensation based on your current and future costs. This compensation could include the following:
- Medical bills and related expenses
- Income losses caused by missed work
- Diminished ability to work and earn
- Miscellaneous expenses, such as traveling for care and parking at the hospital
- Pain and suffering damages
Can Ged Lawyers Help if My Loved One Died in a Coral Springs, FL, Crash?
According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, 36 motorcyclists died in Broward County crashes in 2022. Almost 1 in 7 crash fatalities countywide were from motorcycle accidents. Unfortunately, motorcyclists are more likely to suffer severe, catastrophic, and fatal injuries in a crash.
When a loved one dies in a motorcycle crash, a wrongful death attorney from our team can help. Under Florida law, the victim’s personal representative—the executor of their estate—files a claim or lawsuit and represents the family and other heirs.

These past results do not guarantee a win in your case but should demonstrate we know how to navigate these claims and secure money for our clients.
We can get started on your case today with no upfront fees. Our clients never pay a retainer or hourly fee. We work based on contingency, meaning we only get paid if we win your case.
Building a Coral Springs Motorcycle Accident Case
While Florida law requires motorists who drive a vehicle with four or more wheels to purchase no-fault insurance, these personal injury protection (PIP) policies are unavailable for motorcyclists. So, even if you have a PIP policy because you own another vehicle, it will not pay after a motorcycle crash. Instead, you must hold the at-fault driver responsible and seek compensation through their liability policy or a personal injury lawsuit.
Our Coral Springs motorcycle accident attorney will help you gather evidence to show the at-fault driver acted negligently. There are four elements we must document:
- Duty of care
- Breach of duty
- Causation
- Harm
Most drivers owe others on the road a duty of care at any given time. For example, they are responsible for maintaining their lane until they clear the adjacent lane, use their turn signal, and slowly move into it. Failing to ensure the lane is empty would breach this duty. Their failure could also be the proximate cause of a catastrophic injury if they collide with a biker. Finally, the motorcyclist could suffer physical, psychological, and financial harm due to their accident-related injuries.
