Motorcycle Accidents

Injured in a motorcycle crash? Cohen Injury Law is ready to fight for your rights.

South Florida Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Motorcycle accidents in South Florida often result in serious injuries, high medical bills, and long-term consequences. If you were injured in a motorcycle crash caused by someone else’s negligence, Cohen Injury Law is here to help you recover physically, financially, and legally.
We fight for motorcycle accident victims throughout Florida, holding negligent drivers, companies, and insurers accountable for the harm they’ve caused. While you focus on your recovery, we handle everything else.

How Cohen Injury Law Can Help With Your Motorcycle Accident Case

Motorcycle accident claims are different from car accident cases. They often involve more severe injuries, more expensive treatment, and more aggressive pushback from insurance companies.

At Cohen Injury Law, we know how to overcome the unique challenges of motorcycle crash litigation. When you hire us, you get a South Florida motorcycle accident lawyer who will:

  • Meet with you one-on-one to understand how the accident has impacted your life
  • Investigate the crash thoroughly using police reports, photos, witness statements, and expert analysis
  • Document your injuries and medical treatment in detail
  • Handle all communication and negotiations with the insurance companies
  • Prepare your case for trial from day one to maximize settlement leverage
  • Keep you updated at every stage so you’re never left in the dark

We know the tactics insurers use to minimize claims—and we know how to fight back.

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in South Florida

Motorcyclists are especially vulnerable on South Florida’s busy roads and highways, where careless drivers and hazardous conditions often lead to serious crashes. Many of the motorcycle accidents we handle are caused by:

  • Drivers turning left in front of motorcycles
  • Cars changing lanes without checking blind spots
  • Distracted or texting drivers
  • Speeding or reckless driving
  • Failure to yield at intersections
  • Drunk or impaired drivers
  • Poor road conditions and construction debris
  • Sudden stops and tailgating

Types of Motorcycle Accident Injuries We Handle

Motorcyclists have little protection in a crash, which often leads to serious or catastrophic injuries. We represent riders who suffer from:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
  • Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
  • Road rash and severe lacerations
  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Facial injuries and dental trauma
  • Amputations 
  • Emotional trauma and PTSD

No matter the severity of your injury, we’ll work to ensure your settlement covers not just today’s costs, but future treatment, long-term care, and your pain and suffering as well.

As your South Florida motorcycle accident attorney, we’ll pursue full and fair compensation for your:

  • Emergency medical care and hospital bills
  • Ongoing treatment, surgeries, and physical therapy
  • Lost wages and reduced future earning potential
  • Pain and suffering
  • Property damage (motorcycle repair or replacement)
  • Mental and emotional distress
  • Scarring or permanent disfigurement
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • We also pursue wrongful death claims on behalf of families who have lost a loved one in a fatal motorcycle crash.

What To Do After a Motorcycle Crash in South Florida

Here are the steps to take immediately after a motorcycle accident:

  1. Call 911 – Report the crash and request medical help. Make sure a police report is filed.
  2. Document everything – Take photos of the crash scene, damage, injuries, and take down witness names.
  3. Seek medical attention – Even if you feel okay, get checked by a doctor. Some injuries take time to show symptoms.
  4. Do not speak to the insurance company – They may use your statements against you.
  5. Contact a motorcycle accident lawyer in South Florida. The sooner we’re involved, the more we can do to protect your case.

Frequently Asked Questions About Motorcycle Accidents in South Florida

How long do I have to file a motorcycle accident claim in South Florida?

You generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit, but it’s best to act quickly while evidence is still fresh.

What if the other driver didn’t have insurance?

We’ll explore all available options, including your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage if applicable.

Can I still recover compensation if I wasn’t wearing a helmet?

Yes. Florida law allows you to pursue a claim even if you weren’t wearing a helmet. It may impact the case value depending on your injuries, but you still have legal rights.

Will my case go to court?

Most cases settle out of court, but we prepare every case for trial so we’re ready if the insurance company refuses to make a fair offer.

How much is my motorcycle accident case worth?

The value depends on your medical costs, lost income, the severity of your injuries, and how your life has been affected. We’ll give you a personalized estimate after reviewing the details.
