Motorcycle Riders Forced Off The Road

Answer:

We had a caller from Tampa the other day who had been in an accident in which he was forced off the road by someone that was driving behind him. He was forced off the road and was injured, and he asked a very good question: Do I have a claim? It depends. What you want to do, if you’re injured, is get in to seek medical treatment. Whether it’s a hospital or your treating provider, go in and get treated.

In that kind of situation, one of the things you want to do is make sure you report the claim at the scene of the accident. If you fall off the road, one of the difficulties might come in tracking down the driver who put you off the road. If you want to have your case evaluated quickly, go to a trial attorney that’s going to speak with you and see what they can do in terms of investigating it. A lot of times we have hit and runs in Florida, for instance, where we never find who the other driver is. That makes it even more critical to have your own insurance. There are many insurance companies who actually offer policies to ensure you in the event that you, for instance, are in a hit-and-run accident, and motorcycles are no different. Investigate that and try to purchase some insurance, just because it’s a good idea. We will evaluate your insurance policy for your motorcycle, so give us a call. We’ll be glad to speak with you.
