We pursue full compensation for your medical bills, future medical needs, lost income, loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.

Navigating the complexities of insurance claims after a motorcycle accident can be one of the most frustrating parts of the recovery process. Insurance companies are profit-driven, and they often work against the interests of accident victims in an attempt to minimize payouts. This is especially true for motorcycle accidents, as insurers frequently apply stereotypes about riders and seek to downplay their injuries or involvement.
At Slater | Grant, our motorcycle accident lawyers are well-versed in handling insurance disputes and maximizing the amount of compensation you are entitled to, regardless of the insurance company’s tactics. Here’s how we help you through the insurance maze:
Florida is a no-fault state, meaning that after an accident, your own personal injury protection (PIP) coverage will initially pay for some of your medical expenses and lost wages, regardless of who was at fault. However, in cases of severe injury, this coverage may not be enough to cover all your expenses.
If your injuries exceed the limits of your PIP policy, you will need to pursue a claim against the at-fault driver’s insurance. In such cases, it is vital to have an attorney who can ensure that your medical costs and lost income are fully compensated, especially if the other driver is underinsured or lacks coverage altogether.
Insurance companies for at-fault drivers will often try to reduce their liability or shift the blame onto you. They may use tactics such as offering a quick but insufficient settlement or denying liability altogether. In these situations, having a motorcycle accident lawyer by your side ensures that you are not taken advantage of.
At Slater | Grant, we know how to deal with the defense tactics employed by insurance companies. Our attorneys thoroughly investigate the case, gather the necessary evidence, and negotiate aggressively to secure a fair settlement. If the insurance company refuses to offer a reasonable settlement, we are fully prepared to take your case to trial.
If the driver responsible for the accident does not have insurance, or if their insurance policy limits are insufficient to cover your injuries, you may be able to pursue a claim under your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. Many riders are unaware that they have this coverage, or they may not fully understand its benefits.
Our team helps clients assess their insurance policies to determine if they are adequately covered in the event of an accident involving an uninsured or underinsured motorist. If necessary, we will advocate for you to ensure that your UM/UIM benefits provide the compensation you need to recover.
By working with an experienced motorcycle accident lawyer from Slater | Grant, you can be confident that your insurance claim is handled effectively, and that your rights are protected at every step of the process.
One of the most crucial aspects of a successful motorcycle accident claim is the timely preservation of evidence. In many cases, critical evidence can disappear or become compromised quickly, making it difficult to prove liability and secure fair compensation. At Slater | Grant, we emphasize the importance of gathering and preserving all relevant evidence immediately after the accident.
To build a strong case, the following evidence should be collected and preserved as soon as possible:
Photos of the accident scene are invaluable for demonstrating how the crash occurred. These images can provide essential details, such as road conditions, vehicle positions, skid marks, and surrounding traffic signals or signage. If you are physically able, taking pictures of the scene, your motorcycle, and the other vehicles involved can help establish the cause of the crash and prove negligence.
Eyewitness accounts can be crucial in determining fault, especially if there is conflicting evidence or disputes over how the accident occurred. Gathering contact information for witnesses and obtaining their statements as soon as possible can help corroborate your version of events and strengthen your case. Witnesses may also be able to testify about the other driver’s behavior before the accident, such as erratic driving or failure to obey traffic signals.
The police report generated at the scene of the accident is an official document that contains critical information, including the officer’s observations, a summary of the incident, and potentially the identification of the at-fault party. It may also include citations for traffic violations, which can be pivotal in proving negligence. At Slater | Grant, we obtain and review the police report thoroughly to ensure that no important details are overlooked.
Your medical records will document the extent of your injuries and
the treatment you received, which is necessary to demonstrate the physical, emotional, and financial impact of the crash. We work with medical professionals to ensure your injuries are properly documented and linked directly to the accident.
In more complex cases, expert opinions from accident reconstructionists, medical professionals, or industry specialists may be necessary to support your claim. At Slater | Grant, we have access to a network of professionals who can provide testimony and expert analysis to bolster your case.
Securing and preserving this evidence as soon as possible after the accident is vital for building a strong case. Our motorcycle accident lawyers are experienced in gathering and maintaining evidence in a manner that will stand up in court and maximize your chances of success.

At the beginning, we gather information from you about the accident and your injuries. We then gather documents and records from medical providers, insurance companies, the police, and others.
We then investigate and analyze your claim deeper, reviewing new medical information as you get treatment and procedures, interviewing witnesses, potentially hiring investigators and reviewing surveillance, and taking other steps to help us evaluate the value of your claim.
Our attorneys then talk to you about the value of your claim and prepare a written demand to the at-fault person or company and their insurance company, requesting that they pay you money. If appropriate, we will negotiate with them and attempt to settle your claim for an amount that fairly compensates you so you can recover and move on with life.
If the defense is unwilling to pay what you deserve, we will file a lawsuit and take your case to trial. Along the way, we talk with the defense lawyers about settlement to see if their clients are willing to pay you to fairly compensate you for your injuries.
