An Experienced St Petersburg Lawyer for Injured Motorcyclists
Riding a motorcycle can be an enjoyable and fuel-efficient way to get around, but unfortunately, the vulnerable nature of motorcycles means their riders are often seriously injured in accidents with cars and trucks driven by careless and inattentive drivers.
I am Walter L. "J.R." Grantham, Jr., an experienced Clearwater motorbike crash lawyer. If you've been injured in a motorcycle accident, I can help you pursue compensation for your injury, medical bills, lost wages and other damages. Contact me at my offices in Clearwater to arrange a free consultation. You will owe no attorney fees unless you are compensated for your motorcycle accident injuries.
Holding Car and Truck Drivers Responsible
Car and truck drivers often try to evade responsibility for motorcycle accidents by claiming they didn't see the motorcyclist, due to some fault of the motorcyclist. However, drivers are required to share the road with motorcyclists, and drivers have a responsibility to keep a proper lookout for potential dangers — including motorcycles.
If you have been hit by a car or truck while riding your motorcycle, I send my investigators out to determine who was legally at fault for your accident, rather than relying on what the insurance company discovers.
As a Clearwater motorbike crash attorney, I help motorcycle accident victims establish how they were injured, the extent of their injury, and why they deserve compensation under Florida personal injury law. I pursue fair results, whether that can be done through negotiations or if it is necessary try your case and present what happened in trial to a jury.
Overcoming Jury Bias in Motorcycle Accident Claims
Unfortunately, juries in Florida are often biased against motorcyclists, assuming that they are usually at fault in accidents. Many people hear of a motorcycle accident, and immediately picture a reckless rider who is weaving in-and-out of traffic, when reality is that the motorcyclist is driving carefully and the at-fault driver never even looked out for the motor bike. I am experienced at explaining to juries what the law requires of drivers sharing the road with motorcyclists, and explaining that legal responsibility for an accident may differ from jury members' preexisting ideas.
