Volusia County Motorcycle Accident Attorneys

Daytona Beach is home to the annual Daytona Bike Week, which brings thousands of bikers into the city and the state of Florida. The result is that the already heavily populated area sees an increase in motorcycle accident injuries.

Daytona Bike Week 2020 Saw Increase in Fatal Motorcycle Accidents

The 79th annual Bike Week 2020 saw an increase in fatalities compared to 2019. A total of 6 people were killed in Volusia County during the 2020 Bike Week that ran from March 6-March 15, 2020, right before the coronavirus pandemic placed most of the world on lockdown. The 2019 Bike Week only had one reported fatality.

Bike Week in Volusia County has become a popular destination for bikers all over the world. The festival usually brings about 500,000 bikes to the area, so it is expected to see a rise in accidents, injuries, and even deaths. A good amount of these accidents during Bike Week can be attributed to inexperienced, impaired, and even negligent drivers. This is why it is always important for bikers to obey traffic laws, wear a helmet and other protective gear, keep an eye out for their surroundings, and pay special attention to drivers who may not see them.

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in Central Florida

Motorcycle accidents can happen anywhere at any time. The most common causes of motorcycle collisions are:

• Speeding drivers
• Motorists failing to yield right-of-way to bikers
• Motorists not seeing motorcycles sharing the road
• A driver executing a left turn in front of an oncoming biker
• Drivers operating under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol
• Mechanical failure on a car or motorcycle

Most motorcycle crashes happen with other vehicles at intersections. Our Volusia County Motorcycle Accident Attorneys at Whittel & Melton are here to help you if you have been the victim of a motorcycle crash in the Central Florida area. If you have lost a loved one in a motorcycle accident, we can help you understand the wrongful death claims process and guide you through this difficult time.

Motorcycle accidents can place a huge strain on your physical, mental, emotional, and even financial well-being. While no amount of money can erase the devastation of a motorcycle accident, it can help you put back the pieces of your life so that you can settle into some type of normalcy. A personal injury or wrongful death claim can result in financial damages for past and future medical bills, past and future lost wages, pain and suffering, mental anguish, burial expenses, loss of companionship, and loss of benefits.

Our Daytona Beach Motorcycle Accident Attorneys at Whittel & Melton believe that motorcyclists rights must be protected, which is why we are here to help motorcycle accident victims as well as surviving family members recover financial compensation for their devastating losses. A large number of motorcycle crashes occur because of negligent drivers failing to see bikers. Drivers of cars, trucks, and SUVs may just be careless and fail to watch for approaching motorcycles, and what may seem like a simple turn into traffic can quickly turn deadly for a motorcyclist. Regardless of their good intentions, negligent motorists must be held accountable for the harm they cause, and our Volusia County Motorcycle Accident Attorneys at Whittel & Melton are ready to make that happen.
