The Benefits of Hiring Our Delray Beach Motorcycle Accident Lawyers
If you hire a lawyer from our firm, we will take over your entire case for you. You’ll be able to focus on health and family while your lawyer works on legal matters. Plus, your lawyer can work for you at no cost until and unless we recover compensation for you. We will simply take our fee out of your payout.
Your Delray Beach lawyer will take on all of the following for you and more:
- Determining your options for getting compensated: There may be multiple options available to you for seeking compensation. Your lawyer will determine which one is best and keep other options open for later.
- Establishing your damages: It can be difficult for a claimant to identify their non-financial damages and future financial damages. Your lawyer will help you identify them so you can claim them.
- Valuating your damages: It can be even more difficult to determine the value of damages. Your lawyer will do this for you so you can recover fair amounts for these damages.
- Establishing the other party’s liability: This is necessary even in a no-fault state, like Florida, especially for motorcycle accidents, as riders are not covered by personal injury protection (PIP) policies. Your lawyer will have to seek out evidence of a party’s liability and show it to your insurer or a judge. This evidence could be footage from a traffic camera or data from a vehicle’s black box, for example. Then, your lawyer will show each of the elements of negligence in your case.
- Negotiating with your insurer: Your lawyer may be able to negotiate for most or even all of your due damages. If your insurer doesn’t negotiate in good faith, your lawyer may be able to sue them as well as the other party.

How Can I Recover the Compensation I Need After a Motorcycle Wreck?
In Florida, motorcycle accident victims face unique challenges in recovering fair compensation because motorcycle riders are not covered under the state’s Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance system. Unlike drivers of cars who have PIP to cover medical expenses and lost wages regardless of fault, motorcyclists must rely on other legal avenues for compensation.
Victims can pursue compensation by filing a motorcycle accident claim against the at-fault party’s insurance or through a personal injury lawsuit. Proving the other party’s negligence is crucial and may involve demonstrating unsafe driving, failure to yield, or other breaches of duty. Compensation can include medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering.
What Do You Do After a Motorcycle Accident in Delray Beach, Florida?
Your accident may have left you with serious injuries. Meanwhile, the treatment you need may have put you into serious debt. There are a few actions you can take after your accident to protect your health and begin building your case. You should:
- Go to the doctor. This can benefit your health, as your doctor will assess your injuries and give you a treatment plan to follow. This also provides you with medical records, which we can use to build your case.
- Gather evidence. If your injuries allow, collect evidence at the accident scene. This may include photos, videos, and witness contact information.
- Call the police. You should have police come to the scene to create an accident report. The accident report from the Delray Beach Police Department can be used as evidence in your case.
You may also want to avoid speaking to the insurance adjuster after your crash. They may try to use your words out of context, so you should leave this communication to your lawyer.
Can I Afford an Accident Lawyer?
Yes. We take cases on a contingency-fee basis to ensure that injury victims can get the legal help they deserve.
A contingency fee means you don’t pay any upfront legal fees; your attorney only gets paid if they win your case. This arrangement allows you to access legal representation without worrying about the financial burden. A personal injury attorney’s fee is typically a percentage of the settlement or verdict, aligning their success with your outcome. This approach ensures that your attorney is motivated to achieve the best possible result for you.
