Just as is the case with motorcycle owners, the moped driver is more vulnerable to accidents and injury because of their lack of protection.

If you are injured due to the negligence of someone else, our Tampa moped accident attorneys are here to help you![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column offset=”vc_col-lg-12 vc_col-md-12 vc_col-xs-12″][vc_single_image image=”5989″][ultimate_heading main_heading=”What are the Common Causes of Moped Accidents?” alignment=”left” main_heading_font_size=”desktop:26px;” main_heading_line_height=”desktop:32px;” main_heading_margin=”margin-bottom:20px;” main_heading_style=”font-weight:bold;”][/ultimate_heading][vc_column_text]Mopeds are a hybrid of a motorcycle and a bicycle. These are a couple of common causes of these types of accidents:

  • Slow speeds
  • Fast stops

  • Distracted drivers
  • Impaired drivers
  • Drivers who follow too closely
  • Reduced visibility

[/vc_column_text][ultimate_heading main_heading=”What Damages Can I Recover?” alignment=”left” main_heading_font_size=”desktop:26px;” main_heading_line_height=”desktop:32px;” main_heading_margin=”margin-bottom:20px;” main_heading_style=”font-weight:bold;”][/ultimate_heading][vc_column_text]If someone else’s negligence caused you to have a traumatic injury, you can claim compensatory damages against the liable party. Compensatory damages include economic and non-economic damages.

An economic damage claim can include medical expenses, lost wages, loss of future earnings, home modifications, and non-medical needs.

A non-economic damage claim can include pain and suffering, loss of consortium, damage to reputation, emotional distress, and loss of companionship.

 

You may also be able to recover punitive damages. Punitive damages can be recoverable if the liable party acted out of malice or fraud. Punitive damages may include the liable party being under the influence while driving, fleeing from the police, and/or reckless driving.[/vc_column_text][ultimate_heading main_heading=”How Do You Calculate My Damages?” alignment=”left” main_heading_font_size=”desktop:26px;” main_heading_line_height=”desktop:32px;” main_heading_margin=”margin-bottom:20px;” main_heading_style=”font-weight:bold;”][/ultimate_heading][vc_column_text]As your attorney, I cannot guarantee a certain outcome, but I will guarantee the best possible outcome for your case.

I will be looking at these factors to get the total amount of compensation you are owed:

  • The amount spent for your past and future treatment
  • The amount of your income that will be lost while you’re recovering
  • How your moped injury will affect your future
  • The affect your injury will have on your relationships with others
  • The cost of any home care you are going to need

[/vc_column_text][ultimate_heading main_heading=”How Will You Prove My Damages?” alignment=”left” main_heading_font_size=”desktop:26px;” main_heading_line_height=”desktop:32px;” main_heading_margin=”margin-bottom:20px;” main_heading_style=”font-weight:bold;”][/ultimate_heading][vc_column_text]You may think that those documents or photographs may not strengthen your case, but they actually make your case stronger. It may be obvious that the liable party caused your injury, but you are going to need those photographs and documents to make your case indisputable. Some examples that will strengthen your case are:

 

  • Medical documents
  • Any medical imaging
  • Photographs of the accident scene and your injuries
  • Police report
  • Proof of loss of benefits
  • Any receipts that show any expenses related to your moped injury

If possible, follow these easy steps to make your case stronger:

  • Call 911 and seek medical attention
  • Get any information you can from the driver(S) & witnesses

Frequency Asked Questions

If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence, you may have a valid personal injury claim. We offer free consultations where our experienced attorneys will assess your case, explain your legal options, and help determine if you’re entitled to compensation for your injuries.

At The Reyes Firm, we work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don’t pay any legal fees unless we win your case. This ensures that all individuals, regardless of their financial situation, have access to high-quality legal representation.

The time you have to file a personal injury claim varies depending on the state and the type of case. Generally, it’s important to act quickly, as most personal injury claims have a statute of limitations. Contact us as soon as possible to ensure your claim is filed within the required time frame.

If you’re involved in a car accident, make sure to get medical treatment for any injuries, no matter how minor they may seem. Collect contact and insurance information from the other driver, and gather evidence from the scene, such as photos and witness statements.

Then, contact The Reyes Firm for a free consultation to discuss your legal options.

It’s essential to act quickly when pursuing a personal injury claim because many cases have a statute of limitations, or a deadline for filing. However, even if some time has passed since the injury, you may still be able to file a claim depending on your situation.

Contact The Reyes Firm to discuss your case and find out if you’re still within the time limit to take legal action.

The amount of compensation you can receive depends on various factors, including the severity of your injuries, medical costs, lost wages, and emotional distress. During your free consultation, our attorneys will evaluate your case and provide a realistic estimate of what you may be entitled to.

Yes, it’s highly recommended to have an attorney when dealing with insurance companies. Insurance companies often try to offer low settlements or deny claims altogether. The Reyes Firm’s experienced attorneys will ensure your rights are protected, negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf, and fight for the compensation you deserve.

Yes, you can still file a personal injury claim even if you were partially at fault. However, your compensation may be reduced based on your level of responsibility. In many states, comparative negligence laws allow you to recover damages, even if you share some degree of fault. Our attorneys can help you navigate this complex legal issue and maximize your compensation.

The duration of a personal injury case varies depending on factors like the complexity of the case, the willingness of the insurance company to settle, and whether the case goes to trial. Some cases may settle within a few months, while others can take a year or more. The Reyes Firm will work diligently to resolve your case as efficiently as possible while ensuring your best interests are served.

A contingency fee is a payment arrangement where our firm only gets paid if we win your case. This means there are no upfront costs for you. We take a percentage of the settlement or judgment, and if we don’t win, you don’t owe us anything. This ensures you can access legal representation without financial risk.
