Common Causes of Motorcycle Crashes

Tampa Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Hancock Law Firm, P.A.

The increasing popularity of motorcycles has unfortunately led to more motorcycle accidents. While the fastest growing segment of motorcyclists is people over 40, the old stigma of motorcyclists as reckless scofflaws often carries over to those crash situations — the motorcycle rider is assumed to be at fault.

At the Hancock Law Firm, P.A., we know that the most conscientious, law-abiding motorcyclist rides at the mercy of automobile drivers. If a loved one was injured or killed, we know how to direct the attention back to that driver's traffic violation or inattentive driving.

Our legal team represents motorcycle accident victims in Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Land O' Lakes, Lutz, Wesley Chapel, Lakeland, all communities of Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, Hernando and Citrus counties, and throughout Florida. For skilled pursuit of compensation for the devastation, contact us today for a free consultation.

Driver Negligence in Motorcycle Accidents

Personal injury attorneys Mike Hancock and Claire Hancock are knowledgeable about the common causes of motorcycle crashes. If liability is disputed, he is skilled at demonstrating that a careless driver was at fault:

  • Turning left into the path of an oncoming motorcycle
  • Pulling out from a parking lot, side street or driveway in front of a motorcycle
  • Following too closely, causing a rear-end collision
  • Running a red light or failing to yield at a stop sign
  • Cutting off or sideswiping a motorcycle
  • Changing lanes without looking
  • Cell phone use or texting while driving (or other distracted driving)
  • Speeding or reckless driving

Mr. Hancock is also familiar with typical motorcycle crash injuries, as well as the special insurance and legal issues that apply to motorcycles under Florida law. He is committed to full and fair compensation for serious injury or a motorcycle fatality.
