Experienced Jacksonville Motorcycle Accident Attorneys

We Are More Than “Biker Friendly”

As partners of outstanding civic motorcycle organizations, we work diligently to protect the rights of motorcyclists. We know that, unfortunately, motorcycle accidents are not uncommon, and weโ€™re here to do our part to protect Florida cyclists.

We are more than โ€œBiker Friendly” at The Law Offices of Randy Reep. Over the years, we have had the good fortune to partner with fantastic civic motorcycle organizations like the Latina American Motorcycle Association (LAMA), La Cura, and Leathernecks MC. These organizations are more than just clients; they are family. As our family members, we encourage them to wear helmets, and we highly suggest you do too.

Regrettably, motorcycle accidents are not only common in Florida, but the injuries suffered by riders are generally more extreme. To complicate matters even more, standard Personal Injury Protection (PIP) does not apply to a motorcycle rider, even if they have purchased this insurance for their car. Additionally, Florida has the highest rate of motorcycle fatalities in the United States, so we are constantly striving to do our part and protect our stateโ€™s riders.

If you are injured in a motorcycle accident, you are entitled to recovering damages from the other driver at fault for the accident. Additionally, Florida operates under a system called โ€œcomparative negligence,โ€ meaning even if you are partially to blame for the accident, you can still recover for your damages.

While every motorcycle accident happens differently, you could be entitled to recovery of one or more of the following damages:

-Paid medical expenses, past, present and future, related to your motorcycle accident, including doctor visits, rehabilitation therapy, surgeries, and medications

-Lost wages for time you were unable to work due to your injuries, and future lost income if you will not be able to return to your former job duties

-Pain and suffering related to your motorcycle accident, both physically and emotionally

-And several other unique cases

Allow your trusted and experienced family at The Law Offices of Randy Reep to help you recover from this unfortunate event. Weโ€™ve got your back, and weโ€™re ready to step in and represent you the way you deserve.

Motorcycle injuries

The frequency and severity of injuries involving motorcycle riders require special consideration and planning. Often these damages include significant spinal injuries which can include paralysis or even death. Sadly, with the elective use of helmets, we have seen an increase in traumatic brain injuries (TBI), as well as more common physical injuries like broken bones and fractures.

What is nearly universal to a motorcycle accident is some sort of physical disfigurement resulting from the impact with another object. All these injuries require special treatment, both medically and legally. It is always our hope that through advocating safety training and contributing to various motorcycle awareness initiatives, we can be a small part in preventing any and all motorcycle accidents.

However, when you or someone you love, finds that even the best of prevention has failed, it is important that you follow these steps right away:

Seek medical treatment from a professional โ€“ It is amazing how powerful the body is at disguising injury and pain โ€“ at least initially. If you are involved in a collision on a motorcycle, get checked out by medical personnel immediately.

1. Never fail to report your accident. You wonโ€™t regret documenting the collision.
2. In Florida there are instances where a โ€œDriverโ€™s Exchangeโ€ will substitute for the actual police report. Keep a copy of this information for your records and be ready to provide it to your attorney.
3. Today we all carry a high-definition camera in our phones, use it. Take as many pictures as possible to capture the impact (and any injuries).
4. Finally โ€“ call the Law Offices of Randy Reep, BEFORE you talk to any insurance representatives, to make sure your recovery gets going in the right direction.

As bikers, we understand the deck is stacked against you. A motorcycle is already hard to see. Put that together with the increase of โ€œdistractedโ€ drivers on the road, and it is a dangerous world for those of us on two wheels. If you happen to be the loved one of someone injured or killed on a motorcycle, we want to be part of your solution for that tragedy. The bottom line โ€“ our consults are FREE โ€“ it will cost you nothing for us to evaluate your accident. We sincerely hope you never need our services, but if you do, rest assured we are part of the family.

And by the way โ€“ wear the helmet.
