Tampa Fatal Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
With or without a helmet, any motorcycle wreck is potentially deadly. Motorcycle accidents account for just 4 percent of all traffic crashes in Florida, but motorcycle drivers and their passengers make up 16 percent of all traffic fatalities.
Trial lawyers Mike Hancock and Claire Hancock are familiar with the causes of motorcycle accidents and oversees a thorough crash investigation when there is any doubt. Our firm has the resources to hire accident reconstruction experts who can help trace the negligence of a motorist who was inattentive, violated traffic laws, followed too closely or failed to yield the right of way. He is also knowledgeable about special issues in motorcycle cases that differ from auto collisions.
Mr. Hancock will take time to explain the process of a wrongful death lawsuit, what damages may apply and how to deal with insurance adjusters prying for information or trying to force a quick settlement. He and his legal team are dedicated to seeing that survivors are reimbursed for lost economic contributions and medical or funeral costs, plus fair damages for the emotional toll of losing a loved one. If the motorcyclist lived for a while before succumbing to crash injuries, the estate may bring an additional action for the victim's pain and suffering.
