Palm
Beach Motorcycle Accident Attorney/Palm Beach Dog
Bite Attorney
Because a motorcyclist has no barrier between him or
herself and the road or another vehicle, the
injuries sustained are fourteen times more likely to
result in death. An astonishing ninety-eight percent
of motorcyclists who are in accidents are injured.
Spinal cord or head injuries
are far from uncommon, and enormously impact the
life of the motorcyclist, as well as the lives of
his or her loved ones. Only twenty percent of the
time is a motorcycle accident the motorcyclist's
fault. Drivers who hit motorcyclists often claim
they did not see the biker, which suggests the
driver was not using the ordinary care the law
requires of all drivers, all the time. Nearly
two-thirds of motorcycle accidents occur when
someone driving a car or truck turns left into an
oncoming motorcycle. Simply put, inattention equals
negligence; negligence equals liability; liability
equals payment. At Neufeld Law Firm we will get you
the compensation you deserve.
Who is responsible in dog
bite cases?
If a
person fails to adequately control their dog, or
taken reasonable steps to keep the dog leashed,
confined or otherwise away from persons, and the dog
bites a person or injures another animal you may
have grounds for a case. Any animal that bites
is a risk to humans or other animals, and if an
owner has knowledge that their dog has a history of
aggressive or attack behavior, they are especially
and specifically expected by rule of law to keep
their pet away from situations where they may cause
harm.
What Type of Compensation
is Available?
Medical bills accrued and wages lost because of the
motorcycle accident or dog bite are recoverable. In
addition, future medical bills and future lost wages
can be recovered, as long as they can be ascertained
with reasonable certainty. Compensation for lost
earning capacity is also available. For example, if
a carpenter is injured so he or she can no longer
work in the field and no longer has the possibility
of becoming a foreman, then the foreman-pay may be
recoverable, if the worker can show he or she had a
likely chance of getting the promotion, until the
motorcycle accident occurred. In addition, a victim
of a motorcycle accident can be monetarily
compensated for his or her pain and suffering, both
past and future. Typically, this figure includes
compensation for experiencing fear of imminent harm
or death, physical pain, and loss of enjoyment of
life. Although no amount of money can make up for
the loss of a loved one, if the victim of a
motorcycle accident dies, Florida’s
statute allows surviving family members to recover
for loss of financial support, medical expenses,
funeral expenses, loss of consortium, and loss of
comfort and care.
How to Get Your Due
Compensation
Because the driver, the dog owner, or the employer
may be legally responsible to pay for a victim's
injuries, there are several legal theories that
allow monetary recovery, and because the measure of
damages is often quite complicated, it is important
that you contact an experienced motorcycle or dog
bite attorney if you or a loved one has been injured
in a motorcycle accident or by a dog. As a
cautionary note: do not speak with the other
person's insurance company about your bodily
injuries. Remember, the adjuster's job is to give
you as little money as possible. If you are
impatient and take a quick settlement, if you later
learn your injuries require future care or you have
to miss more work than you expected, you will never
get that money.
