A $50 Million Win For a Motorcycle Crash Victim

Our client, Sean Ouellette, was riding his motorcycle on Mt. Olive Road when a drunk driver with a BAC of .309 collided head-on with him. Mr. Ouellette was forced to undergo 33 medical procedures, including bilateral leg amputations.
He came to our firm to seek the compensation he deserved. Attorney Drew Moody represented him in court, securing the 8-figure verdict he needed. This major achievement proves our team's ability to win cases at trial, in addition to our capability of securing substantial pre-trial settlements.

View on GoogleLegal Damages In Motorcycle Accident Claims
Our injury lawyers will fight to ensure that motorcyclists and motorcycle riders receive fair legal compensation following a serious accident. We may seek two different types of legal damages sought following a motorcycle accident:
Compensatory Damages
Compensatory damages cover the material losses caused by the motorcycle accident. This includes medical bills, vehicle damage, lost wages, and physical rehabilitation costs. In wrongful death cases, compensatory damages will cover funeral expenses in addition to other losses associated with the death of a loved one.
Punitive Damages
Punitive damages go beyond the financial and material losses of a motorcycle crash. Instead, punitive damages are intended to punish the negligent party for their actions. Punitive damages are not often awarded, and the amount is determined by the egregiousness of their actions, which might include driving under the influence.
Did You Know...
/
Your car insurance will not cover motorcycle accidents. It's important that you have separate motorcycle insurance to cover injuries or damage from collisions.
Determining Liability
Who Is at Fault in a Motorcycle Crash?
Florida motorcycle accident laws follow a pure comparative fault rule. This means that it's possible for each motorist in an auto collision to be partially negligent in the crash. This can affect monetary awards and legal damages. When reviewing all of the available evidence in your case, our motorcycle accident attorneys will help ensure that negligent drivers or other parties are held accountable for causing the crash.
Settling Out of Court
/
The vast majority of injury cases are settled before going to trial. This avoids a lengthy court battle, and keeps the details of the case confidential. Our motorcycle accident lawyers will help negotiate a fair settlement. We fight for every penny you are owed to cover your medical bills, property damage, and the lingering effects of any serious injuries you sustained.

View on GoogleCommon Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
The following actions are examples of negligence that can make someone liable in a motorcycle accident claim.
Excessive speed is a leading cause of motorcycle accidents. It's crucial that all motorists abide by posted speed limits and note the flow of traffic around them.
Whether texting behind the wheel or rubbernecking, when other drivers aren't paying attention to the road, they may not see nearby motorcycles.
When other drivers fail to yield the right of way to an approaching motorcycle, the motorcyclist may have just a split second to avoid a motorcycle accident.
The effects of drugs and alcohol make it unsafe to operate vehicles. Drunk and intoxicated drivers could cause catastrophic or fatal motorcycle accidents.
Poor weather, debris in the road, or blind turns on a highway could make it difficult for even experienced drivers to operate their motorcycle safely.
Poor maintenance, faulty design, or defective parts can affect all types of vehicles, ranging from semi-trucks to motorcycles, and make them unsafe.
