Can Florida accident victims seek pain and suffering damages?

Injuries after a car wreck might not show up right away
People who are in a car wreck won't always know right away what types of injuries they have. Some of the possibilities won't manifest until days or weeks after the crash. It is necessary to keep a watchful eye on how you feel if you have been in a car accident.
Compensation claims must be comprehensive after a car wreck
Motor vehicle wrecks can lead to catastrophic injuries that impact lives for the long term. While many people might assume that the victim's insurance company will cover the costs of care, this often isn't the case. Plus, there are many other expenses that come with these types of injuries.
Cyclist gives terrifying account of his accident
People often talk about how dangerous bike-vs-car accidents can be, but then you still see plenty of motorists who crowd bikes on the shoulder of the road, make dangerous passing maneuvers and honk their horns to bully cyclists who are riding slower than they'd like to drive.
Motorcycle deaths are far more common than in other car accidents
When you look at the raw statistics, motorcyclists die far less often in total than people in passenger cars. In 2017, for instance, around 5,000 motorcyclists lost their lives. In 2016, it was nearly 5,300. Considering that around 30,000 die annually in motor vehicle accidents, this makes motorcycles appear safer.

Trains and buses too often lack basic safety features
Here in Florida, motor coaches and other buses are a common sight – especially as vehicles to bring tourists to our theme parks and shuttle them around while they are here.
