Tallahassee Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there were 5,290 motorcycle accidents in the U.S. in 2008. These crashes account for 14 percent of all traffic-related deaths, marking the 11th consecutive year in which motorcycle fatalities have been on the rise.
If you or a loved one has been involved in a motorcycle accident in Tallahassee or anywhere in Florida, the experienced motorcycle crash lawyers at Smith & Vanture, LLP invite you to schedule a free evaluation of your case. We have been defending motorcycle accident victims' rights for about two decades and, in that time, have recovered millions of dollars for injured victims.
Motorcycle Accident Statistics
- About 75 percent of motorcycle collisions involve a crash with another vehicle, typically a passenger car.
- Equipment failure on a motorcycle caused less than 3 percent of these wrecks.
- Roadway defects and animals/debris in the road accounted for approximately 3 percent of motorcycle crashes.
- The primary cause of motorcycle accidents is the fact that other drivers fail to see and pay courtesy to motorcycles in traffic. It is extremely rare that a driver's deliberately hostile driving causes motorcycle collisions.
- The most common type of motorcycle accident occurs when drivers make a left-hand turn in front of a biker traveling straight. Consequently, it's no surprise that most of these accidents take place in intersections.
Following a motorcycle accident, about 62 percent of the motorcycles involved had leaks in their fuel system, which can pose a serious hazard and result in possibly fatal injuries.
