If you have lost a loved one in a motorcycle, then you should speak with a Bradenton wrongful death attorney about your options. In some situations, you may have a claim to recover compensation from the person responsible for the accident. At Neri Law Group, our experienced attorneys have successfully pursued wrongful death cases for families of motorcycle accident victims.

When does a motorcycle accident qualify for compensation?

When a person has been injured or killed in a motorcycle accident, then compensation may be recovered if the accident resulted from the negligence of another driver. Some examples of negligent behavior may include:

  • Speeding
  • Reckless driving
  • Failure to yield
  • Running stop signs or red lights
  • Driving while impaired
  • Texting while driving
  • Driving too fast for conditions
  • Following too close

A Bradenton FL lawyer can review your case and provide a legal opinion about whether the other driver’s behavior gives rise to a claim.

How does a motorcycle accident claim work?

If you have lost a loved one in a motorcycle accident and wish to pursue a claim, then a demand is made on the other driver for payment. In most situations, the driver’s insurance provider will review the claim. The insurance will either admit liability and pay, or deny responsibility. If the insurance denies liability or refuses to pay a fair amount, then you can pursue a lawsuit. If a lawsuit is successful, then you will recover a settlement or judgment against the other driver for a certain dollar amount.

Motorcycle accident cases can be complicated, so it is important to seek out the assistance of an experienced Bradenton wrongful death lawyer. We will advocate for your rights and seek to obtain a fair result. Contact Neri Law Group to learn more about how we can help with your case.
