Motorcycle Accidents
Frigid temperatures start to set in for much of the country during the fall and winter. However, that is not usually the case here in the Sunshine State. Sure, things get a bit cooler once November, December, and January roll around, but people do not have to bundle up most of the time. They can still wear shorts, tank tops, or whatever summer outfit they like.The enjoyable weather also allows folks to partake in various outdoor activities that they might not be able to do in other states. For instance, those who enjoy hitting the beach may decide to get a tan during fall and winter here. Individuals can also take boats or jet skis out for some fun on the water. Providing that the current temperatures are not too low, citizens and tourists could even elect to go swimming or wade fishing during the holiday season. Regardless of what they are doing, people can walk, ride a bicycle, or hit the open road on a motorcycle to get to their destinations.
This article will focus on motorcyclists. Because of the excellent year-round weather in Florida, it is not uncommon to see the two-wheel vehicles gracing the streets at all times of the year. There is certainly nothing wrong with that. However, due to the roads being full of motorcycles, tractor-trailers, cars, and other vehicles, accidents can happen in the blink of an eye. Just take a gander at some of these recent headlines from St. Petersburg and the surrounding areas:

Insurance Companies Do Not Mind Giving Accident Victims The Runaround
Insurance prevents policyholders from being liable for damages out of pocket when they are at fault for accidents. Insurers are supposed to pay up to a person's policy limits for bodily injury and property damage. Unfortunately, that is not always what happens.
Insurance companies are notorious for denying injury and wrongful death claims. They have lawyers on retainers to protect their positions. Those professionals only worry about preventing their clients from spending a lot of money.
