If you have been injured in a motorcycle or truck accident, you need the financial resources to take care of your family. There is no reason to suffer with debilitating injuries that resulted from another person’s carelessness.
Crowded and congested roadways lead to accidents, and in Florida in 2005, there were more than 450 fatal motorcycle accidents, and 60 involving tractor trailers.
Motorcycle accidents have increased exponentially in Florida in the past seven years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) found that in the three years following Florida’s decision to repeal its mandatory helmet law in 2000 that there were 933 motorcyclists killed. The number of Florida motorcycle deaths increased 81 percent, an increase from the 515 bikers killed from 1997 to 1999. In a 2006 update, NHTSA reported that motorcycle rider fatalities have increased for the seventh year in a row.
Tractor trailer accidents result in thousands of catastrophic injuries and deaths in the United States every year. Tractor trailers, 18-wheelers, big rigs, fire engines, semi trucks, and other large commercial vehicles with a gross vehicle weight of greater than 10,000 pounds account for the majority of accidents, deaths and injuries on the nation’s roadways.
