Asking the right questions beforehand is crucial when it comes to seeking legal representation, publishes bchfirm.com
Tampa, Florida – August 20, 2016 /MarketersMedia/ —
According to a recent report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Florida holds the highest rate of motorcycle fatalities in the nation. Despite accounting for only 7 percent of the state’s licensed drivers, motorcyclists were victims in almost 20 percent of the deadly accidents taking place on Florida roadways during the year covered in the report. Though this figure shows a decline of 2.3 percent over the previous year, non-fatal injuries surged 4.5 percent during the same time frame. In light of this development, Senior Attorney Brian Harrington of the Harrington Law Group has launched the firm’s latest tips for finding the right personal injury attorney.
Said Harrington, “Motorcycle accidents tend to be far more detrimental than others, even in cases where no other vehicles are involved. Something as simple as a pothole or large piece of debris in the road could prove deadly for bikers. Weather also presents a more significant hazard for bikes than other vehicles due to their smaller size and lighter weight. Each case involving a motorcycle is unique, and proving who is at fault in these accidents is often a challenge. We want to help those taking to our roadways on their bikes understand what goes into finding the Best Personal Injury Attorney in The Tampa Bay Area to represent them.”
Contrary to conventional theory, Florida’s repeal of the helmet law in 2000 is not believed to have a direct correlation to the death rate or the increase in injuries; in fact, voluntary helmet use increased 4 percent over the last year for which information has been available. As much as 80 percent of the Florida motorcyclist community also wears additional protective gear when riding. Low visibility, distracted drivers in passenger and commercial vehicles, and road conditions are primary causative factors in these types of injuries and fatalities.
Based on information from the Harrington Law Group website, those involved in motorcycle accidents or their families should consider a number of key aspects when searching for the Best Personal Injury Attorney in Tampa, FL for their legal needs. Among these is the number of similar cases having been successfully handled in the past as well as what percentage of the practice is devoted to motorcycle accident cases. Victims are also advised to inquire about a prospective attorney’s experience among other elements.
Concluded Harrington, “We understand the dangers bikers face because we ride, too. An accident considered minor by most standards could bring about serious injuries on a motorcycle. We want riders to know the right questions to ask in order to find the Best Personal Injury Lawyer in St. Petersburg, FL and the surrounding areas. Whether they ultimately bring their case to us or not, getting an experience legal representative working on their behalf as soon as possible is crucial.”
