Florida is inarguably the most iconic motorcycle destination for riders, and bustling North Port has plenty of scenic Florida Gulf Coast rides to attract motorcyclists to the area from around the world. It’s also a motorcycle-friendly climate for residents to enjoy riding to work and school all year round. But with the open-air, two-wheeled design of a motorcycle, a thrilling ride can quickly become costly—if not deadly—especially when an accident involves a motor vehicle weighing an average of 4,000 pounds.
The exposed motorcyclist is extremely vulnerable to severe injuries in a crash. When a motorcycle accident is caused by a careless or reckless driver or another at-fault party such as the maker of a defective motorcycle part or a negligent road work crew, the rider shouldn’t be left with the undue burden of expenses on top of dealing with their serious injuries. Call Shapiro Delgado Hofmann today to talk to the North Port motorcycle accident attorneys who can help you navigate your claim with the highest possible chance of success in securing a large settlement for your damages.
