Motorcycle accident fatalities increased 9% from 2020 to 2021, underscoring the dangers of this popular mode of transportation. Every year, scores of motorcycle riders are seriously injured on Florida’s roads, and many of these accidents are caused by driver negligence. In Vero Beach, motorcycles continue to be involved in a disproportionate number of serious and deadly accidents. The year 2022 witnessed an alarming number of motorcycle and vehicle crashes in Indian River County – particularly along U.S. 1 and State Road 60.
If you were on a motorcycle and hit by a careless driver in Vero Beach, don’t hesitate to contact the law office of Kogan & DiSalvo. We have been helping injured motorcyclists seek the compensation they deserve for decades, and are here to protect your rights.
Motorcyclists are often unjustly accused of being reckless when the data shows that the majority of collisions with vehicles are caused by distracted and careless drivers. Many accident victims are left with painful and debilitating injuries that can linger for years. Having an experienced motorcycle accident lawyer in Vero Beach can prove instrumental in the outcome of your injury case. While nothing can erase the pain and suffering incurred in a motorcycle crash, the law affords financial remedies.

While uneven road surfaces, debris, and defective parts lead to some crashes, these factors are responsible for a small percentage of motorcycle accidents in Indian River County. The majority of serious motorcycle accidents almost always involve passenger vehicles or trucks.
Retrospective analysis indicates that vehicle drivers are less likely to “see” motorcyclists, since they are smaller than passenger cars. As a result, drivers will often turn into the path of a motorcycle, or hit them while switching lanes or crossing an intersection.
Other leading causes of motorcycle accidents in the region include:
Motorcycles have little to protect their passengers and operators in the event of a crash. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) states that per vehicle miles traveled, motorcyclists are 28 times more likely than those in passenger cars to die in a traffic accident.
The reality of suffering a serious injury, especially one that affects your mobility and quality of life, can be difficult to manage without legal support from a Vero Beach personal injury lawyer.
We handle accident claims resulting from all types of injuries, including:
A motorcycle accident can completely change your life in the blink of an eye. Many of the mentioned injuries will take months, if not years, to heal. Some injuries will leave victims permanently disfigured or disabled. Whether you suffered catastrophic injuries, or lost a loved one in a fatal motorcycle accident, we encourage you to explore your legal options with a member of our team.
After any type of motorcycle collision, the steps you take afterward can impact future claims for compensation. Follow these tips to protect your rights.
Under Florida statute §95.11, plaintiffs who are suing for personal injuries based on negligence have two years from the date of the accident to initiate a lawsuit against the liable party. Once this statute of limitations has passed, the defendant can have the claim dismissed. Working with a knowledgeable motorcycle accident lawyer will ensure that filing deadlines are met, and investigations are carried out promptly.
Injured motorcyclists may be entitled to seek a variety of damages from at-fault parties. Even if it is determined that you were partially responsible for the motorcycle crash, you can still collect compensation as long as you were 50% or less at fault for the accident. That is because Florida adheres to modified comparative fault laws. Under this system, claimants can collect damages that are relative to their percentage of fault. For instance, a $200,000 settlement would be reduced to $180,000 if you were 10 percent at fault for the accident.
If, however, you are found to be 51% or more at fault for your injuries, you will be barred from recovery entirely.
Compensation may be awarded to cover the following types of losses:

You know that it is difficult to find a decent lawyer to represent you when you have been injured. It’s especially difficult to find one who isn’t just compassionate but straightforward and willing to listen when times are tough and you think you are at your wits end. This is the AMAZING TEAM of Kogan & DiSalvo.
If you are looking for the BEST TEAM in the business then look no further than this firm.
From start to finish everything was 100 percent transparent and I never waited more than 24 hours for a response to my calls and emails. They use a wonderful app to track your case and process as they fight for you even though the toughest of cases.
I have been blessed to be represented by Dan Collins and his spectacular assistant Lauren. Even when two hurricanes were slamming into the area I was kept informed of their progress on my case.
As we get ready to close this case I will always have Kogan & DiSalvo to thank for putting together such a great attorney and paralegal. This duo have gone above and beyond my expectations!!! Kudos to both Dan and Lauren.
I will never hesitate to recommend this firm and I am forever indebted to the entire TEAM!!!
Highly recommend Daryl Kogan! Extremely helpful and patience with all my questions. If you are need of a law firm that is excellent at what they do look no further!
The professionalism inherent in my experience with Attorney Todd Baker and his staff (Debra in particular) was quite commendable. From the initial contact there existed an easy platform for remarkable communications. All calls were answered promptly and explanations were given clearly with much empathy.
Without hesitation I strongly recommend this Firm.
