Motorcycle Rider DUI Lawyers

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that 464 motorcycle fatalities occurred in Florida during 2011.

In many of these instances, the motorcyclist was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the crash.

It is illegal in Florida, as well as the rest of the United States to have a blood alcohol concentration of .08 or above. Sadly, many innocent lives have been lost due to intoxicated bikers and in most instances, the incidents that attributed to those lost lives could have been prevented.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a motorcycle rider DUI accident, you may have financial and legal recourse. Contact an experienced motorcycle accident lawyer to explore your legal options.

Common Injuries in Motorcycle DUI Crashes

Motorcycles are smaller and weigh less than the average passenger vehicle. The design of a motorbike leaves the rider and passenger with very little protection in the event of an accident. Oftentimes, when a motorcycle is involved in a collision with a passenger vehicle, the motorcyclist will sustain critical and sometimes fatal injuries.

Listed below are some injuries that are common with alcohol-related motorcycle accidents:

Motorcycle DUI Lawsuits

Driving under the influence does not only refer to drivers or motorcyclists that are intoxicated. It is illegal for any driver to be under the influence of prescription medication or illegal narcotics while operating any type of motor vehicle.

Individuals that have been injured in vehicle crash due to a driver that is intoxicated or high on drugs may be eligible to file a lawsuit against the negligent party. Injury victims may be able to recover compensatory damages, punitive damages and third party damages. Compensatory damages are meant to compensate the accident victim for any financial losses that they accrued from the crash. Some examples of compensatory damages include medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering and property damage.

While punitive damages are meant to punish the victim for their negligent behavior and deter others from similar actions. In accidents where the motorcyclist had a high BAC, a jury may grant punitive damages.

As for third party damages, these damages allow accident victims to hold drinking establishments, such as bars, as defendants in the lawsuit.
