Stay Safe at the 83rd Annual Daytona Beach Bike Week

By Orlando Personal Injury Attorney on February 29, 2024

The 83rd Annual Daytona Beach Bike Week rides into Florida tomorrow and runs through Sunday, March 10, 2024. Here at the Law Offices of James O. Cunningham, P.A., our best wishes go out to the hundreds of thousands of bikers, rally participants, and motorcycle enthusiasts from around the country who are visiting our great state for this exciting event. That said, if you are involved in a motorcycle accident during Bike Week, you can count on us to fight for your rights with the utmost care & compassion.

With the increase of motorcyclists hitting the roads this weekend, the chance of an auto accident involving a motorcycle sadly also increases. Ranging from minor fender-benders to full-blown collisions and every type of crash in between, motorcyclists need to remain diligent to ensure their safety while riding at Bike Week.

In addition to other bikers and their passengers, motorcyclists should also keep an eye out for pedestrians in crosswalks, drivers who are under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and dangerous weather conditions that could cause the streets to become slippery when wet.

If you have been severely hurt in a Daytona Beach Bike Week accident, the very first thing you should do is call 9-1-1 so local emergency services can be dispatched. From there, EMTs will transport injured crash victims to the nearest hospitals for treatment while law enforcement agencies and investigators remain at the scene to document the collision. Your health and well-being are the highest priority. Once you’re safely on the road to recovery, your next step should be to contact a reputable motorcycle accident attorney to help recoup lost wages from missed employment, surmounting medical bills, mental anguish, loss of consortium, and funeral expenses in the event of a death from the accident.

Since 1977, Florida motorcycle accident attorney James O. Cunningham has been dedicated to the legal representation of Bike Week crash victims.
