Safety Essentials for Motorcyclists</h2>
There are a few safety tips you should keep in mind before you set
off on your next motorcycle ride on Florida’s scenic highways:<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Wear the right protective gear.<br />
</b>A helmet is the most vital piece of protection you can wear,
but do not stop there. For full protection, make sure you also wear:</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Boots with ankle protection</li>
<li>Gloves</li>
<li>Goggles or a visor</li>
<li>Hearing protection (either ear plugs or ear muffs)</li>
<li>Nylon or leather riding jacket and pants</li>
<li><b>Know your bike.<br />
</b>Before you ever hit the highway, take some time to familiarize
yourself with the basic functions of your motorcycle in a parking lot or
low-traffic area. Get a feel for how smooth the bike:
<ul>
<li>Accelerates</li>
<li>Brakes over short and long distances</li>
<li>Handles on corners</li>
<li>Shifts gears</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><b>Stay alert.<br />
</b>Erratic drivers or irregularities in the road that get
overlooked while you are driving a car may cause a serious accident when
you are on a motorcycle. While riding, be on the lookout for hazards
such as:
<ul>
<li>Intersections with low visibility</li>
<li>Merging or split lanes</li>
<li>Potholes and road debris</li>
<li>Speeding or aggressive motorists</li>
<li>Dense city traffic</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
Following these safety tips can help protect you in the event of an
accident. But remember—accidents and serious injuries can still occur no
matter how many precautions you take. If you have been involved in a
serious motorcycle accident, the motorcycle accident lawyers at John
Bales Attorneys are dedicated to helping you get the resolution you
deserve. Call today, and let us fight for you.<br />

Types of Injuries after an Auto Accident</h1>
<h2 class="h-content-2" style="text-align: justify;">
Did You Suffer Serious Injuries in an Auto Accident? Call John Bales Attorneys.</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Whether it is a high-speed interstate collision or a fender bender in
stop and go traffic, all auto accidents can result in injuries for both
drivers and passengers. While some car crash victims may walk away from
accidents with just minor scrapes and bruises, others may suffer
serious injuries that are life changing and require immediate medical
attention.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
No matter what type of injury you suffered in your auto accident, the
legal team at John Bales Attorneys has the resources and the experience
to help you. Our auto accident lawyers know the difficulties you are
facing, and we will do everything we can to help you get your life back.
Contact us at (800) 225-5564 or fill out a <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" title="Free Case Evaluation">free initial consultation form</a>.</div>
<h2 class="h-content-2" style="text-align: justify;">
Common Types of Injuries</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The speed, weight, and momentum in auto accidents can cause a wide
variety of injuries affecting almost every part of the body. The most
common types of auto accident injuries include:</div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><strong>Back and Neck Injuries</strong>The back and neck are
vulnerable to injury during an auto accident, which can lead to bulging
or herniated discs, pulled muscles and ligaments, and whiplash.</li>
<li><strong>Spinal Cord Injuries</strong>Rollover accidents and head-on
collisions often can cause spinal cord injuries in auto accident
victims. Some victims may experience partial or complete paralysis as a
result of these injuries.</li>
<li><strong><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" title="Concussions and Mild TBIs">Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs)</a> </strong>Seatbelts
and airbags help reduce the risk of TBIs, but sometimes car accidents
involve so much force that the brain impacts the inside of the
skull—causing severe damage, swelling, and destruction of brain tissue.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At John Bales Attorneys, we know that not all auto accident injuries
are obvious right away. In fact, some injuries may be internal and could
go unnoticed for days or weeks after the accident, only to cause
extreme pain and disability weeks later. That is why it is so important
to seek medical attention after your accident, even if you do not think
you were <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" title="What to Do after Your Auto Accident">seriously injured</a>.</div>
<h2 class="h-content-2" style="text-align: justify;">
You Are Hurt—We Can Help.</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Your auto accident injuries can have a huge impact on your life. Not
only is it difficult for you to return to work, you also may need months
of expensive medical treatment that you cannot afford. This can be a
frightening time, but you do not have to deal with it alone. Our auto
accident lawyers will fight to get you the compensation you deserve for
your accident-related expenses.</div>

When to File an Auto Accident Claim </h2>
<h2 class="h-content-2" style="text-align: justify;">
There Is No Time to Waste after Your Accident—Call John Bales Attorneys.</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you’ve been in an accident, the clock is ticking to file a claim
for damages. And, if you wait too long, you could lose out on the money
you deserve for your medical care, pain and suffering, lost wages, and
other expenses.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Let’s talk about when you should file an accident claim and how John Bales Attorneys might be able to help.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In Florida, there are time limits for filing an injury claim.
Depending on the nature of the accident, these time limits may vary.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For instance, if you were in an auto accident that was caused by
another person’s negligence, you have 4 years from the date of the
accident to file a claim against the at fault party. However, if someone
involved in that same accident doesn’t have insurance or is
underinsured, you have 5 years from the date of the accident to file a
claim. John Bales Attorneys can help you determine the appropriate time
period.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Although these time limits seem long, waiting to file could be a big mistake.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The insurance company could start building a case against you just
hours after an accident, so the sooner you file a claim after an
accident, the better. Because memories fade, documents get lost, and
photos can’t be retaken, call the accident attorneys at John Bales
Attorneys right now. We’ll investigate your case and fight the insurance
company for the money and medical care you need.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Don’t take the chance of important evidence being lost forever.
Contact John Bales Attorneys today, and we’ll get started on your case
right away. The consultation is free and you don’t pay us anything
unless we recover money for you.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Because Life Doesn’t Wait, you need John Bales Attorneys.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Your auto accident has left you hurting, unable to return to work,
and facing countless medical bills and living expenses that you cannot
afford. You know you need to contact a lawyer, but you are hesitant to
make the call. However, the longer you wait to contact an attorney, the
less likely it is that you will get the full compensation you are owed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At John Bales Attorneys, our <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" title="Auto Accident Attorneys">auto accident lawyers</a>
are familiar with Florida’s statute of limitations laws. We also know
that waiting too long to file an auto accident claim often means
evidence crucial to your case may be lost forever. Do not wait to get
legal help—call us at (800) 225-5564 or fill out a <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" title="Free Case Evaluation">free initial consultation form</a> today.</div>
<h2 class="h-content-2" style="text-align: justify;">
Florida Statute of Limitations Laws</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Like most states, Florida has a time limit on filing claims for
damages. For auto accidents, this law may vary depending on several
factors:</div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><strong>Auto Accidents Involving Negligence</strong>According to
Florida state law, the statute of limitations for filing a claim for any
personal injury caused by negligence—or carelessness—is 4 years from
the date of the accident.</li>
<li><strong><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" title="Florida Auto Insurance Requirements">Auto Accidents Involving Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage</a></strong>If
you are involved in an auto accident with someone who does not have
insurance—or who does not have enough insurance coverage to pay for
damages—the statute of limitations for filing a claim is 5 years from
the date of the accident.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Although it may seem like you have a long time to file a claim, it is
important to remember that the sooner we can take action, the better.
The <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" title="Florida Auto Insurance Requirements">insurance company</a>
may begin building its case against you in the days or even hours after
the accident. Our law firm can help make it a fair fight.</div>
<h2 class="h-content-2" style="text-align: justify;">

your actions during this time may have a major impact on your chances of

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<h2 class="h-content-2" style="text-align: justify;">
Steps to Strengthen your Case</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What you say to police and even the location of skid marks on the
asphalt may be used as evidence in your auto accident claim. But if you
follow a few simple steps after the accident, you can protect your
health and strengthen your case:</div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><strong>Get medical attention.</strong>Even if you do not think you
were seriously hurt, see a doctor anyway. Car accidents can cause
internal injuries that may take time to develop.</li>
<li><strong>Record the crash scene.</strong>Use your camera or cell
phone to take pictures of the crash scene. Be sure to capture damage to
your vehicle and any accident-related markings on the road. You should
also take pictures of any injuries to you or your loved ones.</li>
<li><strong>Stay silent.</strong>If you think you were at fault for the
accident, do not admit it to the other driver or the police. The
accident may have been beyond your control, but an admission of guilt
can potentially damage your chances of getting compensation.</li>
<li><strong>Call a lawyer.</strong>The sooner you talk to an auto
accident lawyer, the better. Evidence needs to be collected right away,
and if you wait too long, you may give the insurance company a head
start building its case against you.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h2 class="h-content-2" style="text-align: justify;">
We Can Help You through This Time</h2>

Are you the victim of an impaired or distracted driver?</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The car accident lawyers at John Bales Attorneys are skilled at
determining whether the driver who caused your accident was under the
influence, distracted, or driving recklessly.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em>Drunk or Drugged Driving</em><br />
Impaired judgment, dulled reflexes, and slower reaction times behind the
wheel are a toxic combination. A driver under the influence of alcohol
or drugs—including certain over-the-counter or prescription
medications—can seriously injure or kill other drivers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em>Distracted Driving</em><br />
Multitasking is not only ineffective behind the wheel … It’s dangerous.
More than 1,100 injuries (and 9 deaths) occur each day as a result of
distracted driving. Accidents caused by texting or talking have received
media attention, but a driver can be distracted by any number of
things, including changing the radio station, operating a GPS, and even
by eating or drinking. [Source: National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration, http://www.distraction.gov/stats-research-laws/facts-and-statistics.html, accessed April 20, 2015.]
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em>Reckless Driving</em><br />
When considering the term “reckless driving,” many think about drivers
running red lights or ignoring stop signs. In reality, reckless driving
includes a variety of offenses that put other drivers in danger,
including driving more than 15 mph over the speed limit and aggressive
driving. These behaviors are all common causes of serious car accidents.</div>

The
national debate over security vs. privacy playing out through the
disagreement between Apple and the FBI has taken another turn as a judge
in Brooklyn ruled Monday that the government can not compel Apple to
help the government unlock an iPhone in a similar case.<br />
The controversy began a few weeks ago when a court in California
ruled that Apple was required to build a software that would allow the
FBI to bypass a security measure on the iPhone that belonged to one of
the terrorists who committed the attack in <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" target="_blank">San Bernardino</a>.<br />
Apple CEO Tim Cook responded with an <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" target="_blank">open letter</a>
questioning the court’s decision on the basis that it could eventually
compromise the security of all Apple users should such technology get
into the wrong hands and that this decision would set a dangerous
precedent for government authority in matters of privacy.<br />
The debate Mr. Cook’s letter sparked turned into a national
conversation over the balance in the U.S. between privacy and security,
and the lack of laws regarding this balance in the digital age.<br />
Although the NY case regards a drug dealer’s iPhone and not a
terrorist’s, the ruling by the judge in Brooklyn will most likely help
Apple with its case.<br />
U.S. Magistrate Judge James Orenstein ruled that the 227-year-old All
Writs Act signed by George Washington in 1789, which serves as the <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" target="_blank">basis</a>
for the government’s case, did not provide sufficient authority for the
government to order Apple to build a backdoor into the iPhone. It is
the interpretation of this law that will largely determine the judge’s
decision in California.<br />
This debate Is making the country confront some very big questions.
On the one hand, it seems like common sense that every person deserves
to keep his or her most intimate details private. On the other hand, at a
time when mass shootings are commonplace is that privacy worth our
safety? Additionally, Apple’s argument is that letting the FBI into this
particular phone would not only encroach on a terrorist’s privacy, but
would allow the government access to all iPhones.<br />
Ideally, we shouldn’t have to sacrifice privacy for safety. The
argument between Apple and the FBI seems to be the bellwether trial in
determining what, legally, takes precedence.<br />
Aside from the ongoing court case, this debate will also take place
in the halls of Congress. A Congressional hearing has been organized for
March 1 at which Apple’s senior vice president and general counsel
Bruce Sewell and FBI Director James Comey will offer testimony.<br />
The hearing has been termed “The Encryption Tightrope: Balancing
Americans’ Security and Privacy,” and was called to educate legislators
on the best way to address the concerns of law enforcement while also
protecting the privacy and security of everyday people.<br />
The need for data security has never been greater as data breaches have become all too <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" target="_blank">common</a> in recent years. The recent attack at the University of Central Florida
saw 63,000 people have their information stolen from the school, and
there was nothing they could do to stop it. If you or someone you know
has been the victim of a data breach,
the attorneys at Morgan & Morgan would like to hear from you. You
may be entitled to compensation for the information stolen from you, so
fill out a case evaluation form for a free consultation to find out if you have a case.</div>

The
national debate over security vs. privacy playing out through the
disagreement between Apple and the FBI has taken another turn as a judge
in Brooklyn ruled Monday that the government can not compel Apple to
help the government unlock an iPhone in a similar case.<br />
The controversy began a few weeks ago when a court in California
ruled that Apple was required to build a software that would allow the
FBI to bypass a security measure on the iPhone that belonged to one of
the terrorists who committed the attack in <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" target="_blank">San Bernardino</a>.<br />
Apple CEO Tim Cook responded with an <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" target="_blank">open letter</a>
questioning the court’s decision on the basis that it could eventually
compromise the security of all Apple users should such technology get
into the wrong hands and that this decision would set a dangerous
precedent for government authority in matters of privacy.<br />
The debate Mr. Cook’s letter sparked turned into a national
conversation over the balance in the U.S. between privacy and security,
and the lack of laws regarding this balance in the digital age.<br />
Although the NY case regards a drug dealer’s iPhone and not a
terrorist’s, the ruling by the judge in Brooklyn will most likely help
Apple with its case.<br />
U.S. Magistrate Judge James Orenstein ruled that the 227-year-old All
Writs Act signed by George Washington in 1789, which serves as the <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" target="_blank">basis</a>
for the government’s case, did not provide sufficient authority for the
government to order Apple to build a backdoor into the iPhone. It is
the interpretation of this law that will largely determine the judge’s
decision in California.<br />
This debate Is making the country confront some very big questions.
On the one hand, it seems like common sense that every person deserves
to keep his or her most intimate details private. On the other hand, at a
time when mass shootings are commonplace is that privacy worth our
safety? Additionally, Apple’s argument is that letting the FBI into this
particular phone would not only encroach on a terrorist’s privacy, but
would allow the government access to all iPhones.<br />
Ideally, we shouldn’t have to sacrifice privacy for safety. The
argument between Apple and the FBI seems to be the bellwether trial in
determining what, legally, takes precedence.<br />
Aside from the ongoing court case, this debate will also take place
in the halls of Congress. A Congressional hearing has been organized for
March 1 at which Apple’s senior vice president and general counsel
Bruce Sewell and FBI Director James Comey will offer testimony.<br />
The hearing has been termed “The Encryption Tightrope: Balancing
Americans’ Security and Privacy,” and was called to educate legislators
on the best way to address the concerns of law enforcement while also
protecting the privacy and security of everyday people.<br />

The
national debate over security vs. privacy playing out through the
disagreement between Apple and the FBI has taken another turn as a judge
in Brooklyn ruled Monday that the government can not compel Apple to
help the government unlock an iPhone in a similar case.<br />
The controversy began a few weeks ago when a court in California
ruled that Apple was required to build a software that would allow the
FBI to bypass a security measure on the iPhone that belonged to one of
the terrorists who committed the attack in <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" target="_blank">San Bernardino</a>.<br />
Apple CEO Tim Cook responded with an <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" target="_blank">open letter</a>
questioning the court’s decision on the basis that it could eventually
compromise the security of all Apple users should such technology get
into the wrong hands and that this decision would set a dangerous
precedent for government authority in matters of privacy.<br />
The debate Mr. Cook’s letter sparked turned into a national
conversation over the balance in the U.S. between privacy and security,
and the lack of laws regarding this balance in the digital age.<br />
Although the NY case regards a drug dealer’s iPhone and not a
terrorist’s, the ruling by the judge in Brooklyn will most likely help
Apple with its case.<br />
U.S. Magistrate Judge James Orenstein ruled that the 227-year-old All
Writs Act signed by George Washington in 1789, which serves as the <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" target="_blank">basis</a>
for the government’s case, did not provide sufficient authority for the
government to order Apple to build a backdoor into the iPhone. It is
the interpretation of this law that will largely determine the judge’s
decision in California.<br />
This debate Is making the country confront some very big questions.
On the one hand, it seems like common sense that every person deserves
to keep his or her most intimate details private. On the other hand, at a
time when mass shootings are commonplace is that privacy worth our
safety? Additionally, Apple’s argument is that letting the FBI into this
particular phone would not only encroach on a terrorist’s privacy, but
would allow the government access to all iPhones.<br />
Ideally, we shouldn’t have to sacrifice privacy for safety. The
argument between Apple and the FBI seems to be the bellwether trial in
determining what, legally, takes precedence.<br />
Aside from the ongoing court case, this debate will also take place
in the halls of Congress. A Congressional hearing has been organized for
March 1 at which Apple’s senior vice president and general counsel
Bruce Sewell and FBI Director James Comey will offer testimony.<br />
The hearing has been termed “The Encryption Tightrope: Balancing
Americans’ Security and Privacy,” and was called to educate legislators
on the best way to address the concerns of law enforcement while also
protecting the privacy and security of everyday people.<br />
The need for data security has never been greater as data breaches have become all too <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" target="_blank">common</a> in recent years. The recent attack at the University of Central Florida
saw 63,000 people have their information stolen from the school, and
there was nothing they could do to stop it. If you or someone you know
has been the victim of a data breach,
the attorneys at Morgan & Morgan would like to hear from you. You
may be entitled to compensation for the information stolen from you, so

The
national debate over security vs. privacy playing out through the
disagreement between Apple and the FBI has taken another turn as a judge
in Brooklyn ruled Monday that the government can not compel Apple to
help the government unlock an iPhone in a similar case.<br />
The controversy began a few weeks ago when a court in California
ruled that Apple was required to build a software that would allow the
FBI to bypass a security measure on the iPhone that belonged to one of
the terrorists who committed the attack in <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" target="_blank">San Bernardino</a>.<br />
Apple CEO Tim Cook responded with an <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" target="_blank">open letter</a>
questioning the court’s decision on the basis that it could eventually
compromise the security of all Apple users should such technology get
into the wrong hands and that this decision would set a dangerous
precedent for government authority in matters of privacy.<br />
The debate Mr. Cook’s letter sparked turned into a national
conversation over the balance in the U.S. between privacy and security,
and the lack of laws regarding this balance in the digital age.<br />
Although the NY case regards a drug dealer’s iPhone and not a
terrorist’s, the ruling by the judge in Brooklyn will most likely help
Apple with its case.<br />
U.S. Magistrate Judge James Orenstein ruled that the 227-year-old All
Writs Act signed by George Washington in 1789, which serves as the <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" target="_blank">basis</a>
for the government’s case, did not provide sufficient authority for the
government to order Apple to build a backdoor into the iPhone. It is
the interpretation of this law that will largely determine the judge’s
decision in California.<br />
This debate Is making the country confront some very big questions.
On the one hand, it seems like common sense that every person deserves
to keep his or her most intimate details private. On the other hand, at a
time when mass shootings are commonplace is that privacy worth our
safety? Additionally, Apple’s argument is that letting the FBI into this
particular phone would not only encroach on a terrorist’s privacy, but
would allow the government access to all iPhones.<br />
Ideally, we shouldn’t have to sacrifice privacy for safety. The
argument between Apple and the FBI seems to be the bellwether trial in
determining what, legally, takes precedence.<br />
Aside from the ongoing court case, this debate will also take place
in the halls of Congress. A Congressional hearing has been organized for
March 1 at which Apple’s senior vice president and general counsel
Bruce Sewell and FBI Director James Comey will offer testimony.<br />
The hearing has been termed “The Encryption Tightrope: Balancing
Americans’ Security and Privacy,” and was called to educate legislators
on the best way to address the concerns of law enforcement while also
protecting the privacy and security of everyday people.<br />
The need for data security has never been greater as data breaches have become all too <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" target="_blank">common</a> in recent years. The recent attack at the University of Central Florida
saw 63,000 people have their information stolen from the school, and
there was nothing they could do to stop it. If you or someone you know
has been the victim of a data breach,
the attorneys at Morgan & Morgan would like to hear from you. You
may be entitled to compensation for the information stolen from you, so

<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Liability and Compensation </h3>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Who Can I Sue?</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
An accident victim may be able to file a third party claim if a party
aside from the other driver contributed to the accident. In some cases,
an individual can seek damages from a car maker if a defective or
flawed vehicle component caused a crash. Additionally, if the at-fault
party was acting under their scope of employment, their employer may be
liable for damages. Furthermore, victims may also file suit against a
government agency or transportation authority if factors such as a
poorly maintained roadway, improper signage, or irresponsible highway
construction contribute to a substantial accident.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
How Much is My Case Worth?</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The law allows victims and their families the opportunity to seek
compensation from the entity that caused the accident. Damages may
include:</div>
<div class="blockquote" style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Medical Bills:</strong> This can include current and future expenses including hospital costs, rehabilitation, transport, and medication.<br />
<strong>Lost Wages:</strong> If the accident causes the injured party
to miss work, they may be compensated for the wages they would have
earned had the accident not occurred.<br />
<strong>Future Lost Wages:</strong> If the accident is so severe that
the injured can never return to work, or must miss work for a
significant amount of time, they may be entitled to wages they would
have earned.<br />
<strong>Pain and Suffering:</strong> This can include coverage for
treatment of depression, anxiety, fear, and other mental injuries
causing distress or mental anguish. Additionally, the injured car
accident victim may be entitled to compensation for pain and suffering
caused by the injury and its treatment.<br />
<strong>Loss of Consortium:</strong> If the injury negatively alters
the relations of a couple, compensation for loss of intimacy or support
may be available to the aggrieved party.<br />
<strong>Funeral Costs:</strong> If a family loses a loved one in an
accident, they may be able to recover some of the damages listed above,
as well as funeral costs and death-related expenses.<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you or a loved one was in a car accident and sustained a severe
injury, you may be entitled to compensation beyond that which is
provided by your PIP coverage. To learn more about your legal rights and
how our Tampa car accident attorneys may be able to help, please

</strong></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<strong>Tampa Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents</strong></h2>
<strong>Pedestrian Accidents:</strong> Tampa is the second most
dangerous major metro area for pedestrians in the country, according to a
report by Transportation for America. Given the vulnerability of
walkers and runners on the open road, accidents with automobiles often
result in serious and debilitating injuries. Pedestrians involved in
automobile accidents can suffer injuries such as broken bones,
lacerations, brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, internal contusions
and bleeding, and even death. Pedestrian accident lawsuits allow victims
the opportunity to seek compensation for medical care, lost wages, and
pain and suffering.<br />
<strong>Bicycle Accidents:</strong> By law, bicyclists have the same
rights and responsibilities as drivers; however, in some cases, drivers
may disregard their duty to operate their vehicles with reasonable care,
putting bicyclists at risk for serious injury. Bicycle accidents may be
caused by motorists who fail to yield right-of-way to a cyclist, turn
into a bicyclist’s path, or try to overtake cyclists by not allowing the
proper amount of space between the car and the bicycle.<br />
</div>
Some states have created specific protections for bicyclists. For
example, Florida’s “three foot law,” requires passing motorists to leave
at least three feet between their vehicle and a cyclist. If a biker is
injured due to the negligence of a motorist or individual, they may be
able to recover compensation through a bicycle accident lawsuit.</div>

</span></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span id="car">Tampa Car Accident Lawsuits</span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Injuries:</strong> Car accidents can cause death or cause serious and life-threatening injuries, including:</div>
<ul class="bullets two-col clearfix" style="text-align: justify;">
<li>Traumatic brain injuries (TBI);</li>
<li>Spinal cord injuries;</li>
<li>Back injuries;</li>
<li>Disfigurement;</li>
<li>Amputations; and</li>
<li>Paralysis.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Negligence: </strong>The premise on which most car accident
lawsuits are based is that the other driver, or another party, was
negligent. To successfully recover compensation under this theory, your
attorney must prove:</div>
<ul class="circle" style="text-align: justify;">
<li>The other party had some duty of care or responsibility to you;</li>
<li>That party breached this duty through some act or omission;</li>
<li>You sustained an injury; and</li>
<li>The injury was a direct result of the party’s breach.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Negligence may refer to:</div>
<ul class="circle" style="text-align: justify;">
<li>Reckless driving (road rage, failure to yield, speeding, tailgating, failure to signal turns, weaving);</li>
<li>Driving under the influence of drugs, alcohol;</li>
<li>Careless driving (running a red light, speeding, cell phone use while driving);</li>
<li>Allowing an unfit individual to drive an automobile (under the
influence, historically reckless driver, unlicensed minor, senior
citizen).</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Product Liability</strong></div>
<div class="blockquote" style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Strict Liability:</strong> Strict liability is one applicable
cause of action under which product liability suits may be pursued.
Under this theory, the injured party must prove a defect in an
automobile exists, and this defect caused their injury. If a defect
exists, the manufacturer may be liable for any resulting damages,
regardless of whether they exercised extreme caution in production.
Individuals who purchase used cars and are involved in an accident are
not eligible to pursue product liability claims.<br />
<strong>Negligence:</strong> As with all negligence cases, the
injured party must prove that the manufacturer had a duty to sell a safe
product to consumers, this duty was breached as a result of knowledge
of the defect, and that the product caused the injury.<br />
</div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span id="cases">Causes of Tampa Auto Accidents</span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Morgan & Morgan’s Tampa car accident attorneys handle car accident claims stemming from:</div>
<div class="well" style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li>Distracted driving (texting, putting on makeup, rubbernecking, eating, and failing to pay proper attention to road hazard)</li>
<li>Fatigued driving</li>
<li>Impaired driving (driving under the influence of alcohol, prescription drugs, or narcotics)</li>
<li>Reckless or aggressive driving (speeding, unsafely switching lanes,
tailgating, failure to yield, street racing, failing to signal, driving
in the wrong direction, and road rage)</li>
<li>Defective auto parts (faulty brakes, tires, steering, suspension, and safety equipment)</li>
<li>Unmaintained automobiles (Improperly secured materials, bad brakes,
broken signal lights, non-functional headlight, and broken or unsecured
engine parts)</li>
<li>Roadway design (low hazard visibility, traffic flow, unmaintained
road surfaces, improper striping, defective traffic control devices, and
an insufficient shoulder)</li>
<li>Road conditions (poor maintenance, roadway debris, faulty signage, construction, and large unfixed potholes)</li>
</ul>

<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
How Can a Tampa Car Accident Attorney Help? </h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you or a loved one has been injured in a car accident, it is
essential to speak with an attorney before filing an insurance claim or
discussing the accident with anyone other than your physician. It is
important to remember that anything you say may be used against you in
future negotiations. After listening to your account of the accident,
your attorney can help you file an insurance claim with the other
driver’s insurer and speak to the company on your behalf.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
What if My Initial Claim is Denied or Inadequate?</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Before filing an insurance dispute claim or negotiating with the
insurance company, your attorney will gather evidence regarding the
accident. Your attorney’s investigation may include:</div>
<div class="well" style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li>Reviewing medical records from treatment you received after the crash;</li>
<li>Reviewing police reports, crime scene reports and photographs of the scene;</li>
<li>Interviewing witnesses;</li>
<li>Using traffic camera footage, if available;</li>
<li>Investigating the history of the other driver;</li>
<li>Obtaining a recording of the 911 call;</li>
<li>Examining photos of your car before and after the accident;</li>
<li>Reviewing cell phone records; and</li>
<li>Reviewing specific information and history on the vehicles involved.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Your attorney will use this information to create a claim that shows
the other driver was at-fault for the accident and is therefore
responsible for your losses. Insurance companies will want to limit
their payout and, in many cases, will offer an amount that does not
adequately cover your losses. If this is the case, your attorney will
negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf. If negotiations are
unsuccessful, your attorney will determine whether you may be able to
collect compensation by filing a lawsuit against the insurance company
and other parties involved in the crash.</div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span id="PIP">What You Need to Know about PIP</span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you do not seek medical treatment within fourteen days of the
accident, PIP generally will not cover any of your medical bills. If you
have suffered an “emergency medical condition,” PIP will generally pay
for 80% of your medical expenses and 60% of lost wages, subject to the
limitations of the policy. If you have not suffered an emergency medical
condition, <a href="http://www.forthepeople.com/auto-accident-attorneys/florida-pip-insurance/">your PIP benefits</a> are generally capped at $2,500.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
An emergency medical condition is defined as a medical condition that
requires immediate medical attention and could reasonably be expected
to result in serious jeopardy to the patient’s health. Our car accident
attorneys can help you complete all necessary paperwork so that you
receive the PIP benefits to which you are entitled following an
accident.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Your Right to Sue</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our car accident attorneys may be able to help you file a personal
injury lawsuit against the at-fault driver. A car accident lawsuit will
provide you the opportunity to seek compensation in addition to the
benefits provided under your PIP policy; however, you must have suffered
serious and permanent injuries to be eligible to file a claim. Examples
of serious and permanent injuries may include:</div>
<div class="well" style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.forthepeople.com/brain-injury-attorneys/">Traumatic brain injuries</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.forthepeople.com/spinal-cord-injury-lawyers/">Back and spinal cord injuries</a></li>
<li>Paralysis</li>
<li>Disfigurement or permanent scarring</li>
<li>Amputations</li>
<li>Broken bones</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The insurance company may attempt to categorize your injuries as
temporary and non-serious in nature. Our Tampa car accident attorneys
can collect supporting evidence to establish that your injuries are
serious enough to qualify you for additional compensation through a
personal injury lawsuit.</div>

Tampa Car Accident Attorney </h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At Morgan & Morgan’s Tampa office, our attorneys have decades of
experience handling car accident claims and understand the difficulties
some victims may face in recovering compensation. In Florida, vehicle
owners are required to purchase Personal Injury Protection (PIP) which,
in the event of a crash, will cover the cost of damages to a certain
extent. Unfortunately, PIP may also limit your ability to take legal
action, so it’s important to contact an experienced attorney immediately
following an accident, especially if you have suffered a severe or
disabling injury. The attorneys at Morgan & Morgan have the
experience needed to help ensure you are properly compensated for your
losses. </div>
