If a motorcycle accident in Pensacola led to your physical injuries and property damage, you could have options for financial recovery. A lawyer from the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine can help you pursue the at-fault driver for the costs of treating your injuries and the value of your lost income, among other damages.
In doing so, you can rely on us to help you understand and navigate the personal injury process, ensure your lawsuit complies with the statute of limitations, and negotiate an appropriate financial settlement.
Your Injuries Have a Financial Value
The medical and related costs of your motorcycle accident injuries are recoverable through a personal injury claim or lawsuit.
Florida Statutes §768.81 allows you to request compensation from the driver who caused your motorcycle accident. Accordingly, you can request recovery of your economic (tangible) and non-economic (intangible) expenses.
Assess Your Economic Damages
Economic damages are financial losses caused by the aftermath of the accident. They can include:
- Past and future medical care and expenses
- Lost wages from all income streams
- Property damage or total destruction
- In-home medical or domestic support
Funeral and burial expenses are also compensable if someone you love lost their life in the accident. Our team will work with you to compile the evidence that proves the value of your economic damages.
Assess Your Non-Economic Damages
Non-economic damages can be difficult to value because they do not come with the fixed costs of economic damages. They can include:
- Lasting physical impairment
- Lasting physical disfigurement
- Physical pain and suffering
- Mental and emotional anguish
Non-economic damages can also include losses you endure due to the accident including loss of consortium, society, and enjoyment of life. The at-fault driver is responsible for compensating you for both types of damages when we help you prove their negligence and liability.
Establish the at-Fault Driver’s Liability
Before filing a lawsuit or negotiating an insurance settlement, we will help you prove the at-fault driver’s financial responsibility in that they:
- Owed you a duty of care
- Breached their duty
- Caused your injuries
- Caused your financial damages
Having a lawyer from our firm by your side is an important benefit because we can help you prove the other party’s liability. If the at-fault party claims you were responsible for partly causing the accident, it could decrease the amount of any compensation you are awarded.
We Can Help You Avoid Putting Your Recovery at Risk
The personal injury lawsuit you file after a motorcycle accident must comply with the state’s statute of limitations. If you fail to do so, your right to compensation can be compromised. Depending on the specific of your motorcycle accident, one of the following statutes of limitations may apply:
- According to Florida Statutes §95.11(3)(a), the personal injury statute of limitations is generally four years from the date of the accident.
- According to Florida Statutes § 95.11(4)(d), the wrongful death statute of limitations is generally two years from the date of demise.
The circumstances of your accident might also dictate a change to the timeline. It can be challenging to determine the statute of limitations and ensure compliance on your own. With sufficient notice, our client support team can help you meet the filing deadline.
