Tampa, Florida, Area Attorney for Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle riders must take different steps to avoid a collision than are required by drivers of other vehicles. At Theresa I. Wigginton, P.A., in Tampa, as a Harley rider, I have ridden motorcycles on all types of terrain and in all types of weather, so I know things about riding a motorcycle that some of the adjusters don't — like defensive driving techniques that keep people safe. I know that motorcyclists, who must stop quickly in an accident, need to keep their front wheel straight at the moment of applying the breaks. Otherwise, they risk even more serious injury if the bike tips and slides under a vehicle.
My knowledge of motorcycles helps me in the courtroom and in negotiations with insurance adjusters. As your lawyer, I have a true appreciation for the skill needed to ride motorcycles. I also understand firsthand the risks motorcyclists take on Florida roads. I know that drivers often fail to see motorcycles, crowd them on the roads and change lanes without looking. The result? Serious personal injuries to motorcyclists who were doing everything right.
Making Smart Decisions About Medical Care
Motorcycle accidents can cause very serious injuries, including back injury, spinal cord injury, lost limbs and brain injury. If you have been injured, I can help you make smart decisions about the medical care you need after a motorcycle accident. Sometimes people waste their PIP insurance benefits by seeing generalists when they should be seeing specialists who can properly diagnose the injury. I make sure my clients find the medical care they need to begin moving forward after an accident.
