Pensacola Motorcycle Accident Lawyers
Experienced Pensacola Motorcycle Accident Lawyers | No Fee Unless You Win
A motorcycle accident can change your life in an instant. At McLeod & Thompson, our experienced motorcycle accident lawyers help riders across Pensacola and the Florida Panhandle recover physically, emotionally and financially. We work to hold negligent drivers accountable and secure the compensation you deserve.
Motorcyclists face greater risks than other drivers. Without the protection of a car frame, airbags, or seat belts, riders often suffer severe, life-altering injuries in crashes. Our firm has represented hundreds of injured riders over the years — and we understand the unique legal and insurance challenges motorcycle accident victims face in Florida.
If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle accident, you need lawyers who understand the law, the road, and the reality of riding. At McLeod & Thompson, we bring decades of experience and proven results to every case.
How Our Motorcycle
Accident Lawyers Help You
Filing a motorcycle accident claim in Florida can feel overwhelming. Insurance coverage for motorcycles is different from cars — and many victims are wrongly blamed for crashes. At McLeod & Thompson, we know how to protect your rights and build a case that tells the full story.
Our legal team handles every step of the process while you focus on healing. We investigate the accident, communicate with insurers and fight for full compensation.
Handle Your Insurance Claim
Florida law doesn’t require Personal Injury Protection (PIP) for motorcycles — meaning injured riders may not have immediate medical coverage. We help you explore every option.
Our team also deals directly with insurance companies to push back against low offers, delays or denied claims.
Build a Strong Injury Case
Motorcycle accident claims require specialized knowledge. Drivers often say they “didn’t see” the rider — but that doesn’t excuse negligence. We work with accident reconstructionists, collect traffic camera footage, gather medical records and interview eyewitnesses to build a compelling case.
We also account for Florida’s helmet and insurance laws, liability issues and comparative negligence rules — all of which can affect your recovery.
Compensation for Motorcycle Accident Victims
Many riders don’t realize the full cost of their injuries until long after the crash. We help clients pursue full compensation for:
Current & Future Expenses
Medical bills, surgery, rehab, physical therapy, lost wages and future income loss due to long-term disability.
Pain & Suffering
We pursue damages for emotional trauma, permanent scarring, reduced mobility and loss of enjoyment of life.
Wrongful Death Claims
In the most tragic cases, we represent the families of riders who lost their lives due to another’s negligence.
Understanding Florida Motorcycle Laws
Motorcycle laws in Florida are not the same as auto laws. Riders must meet special safety requirements, and insurance laws offer fewer protections. Our lawyers understand how these laws affect your case and use this knowledge to your advantage.
Key Motorcycle Law Facts in Florida:
- Helmets are not required for riders over 21 with $10,000+ in medical insurance
- Daytime headlights and eye protection are mandatory
- PIP coverage does not apply to motorcycles
- Many drivers are uninsured or underinsured
We know how to navigate these issues and protect injured motorcyclists.
