Motorcycle Bias

Typically what we found in Florida, through the years of handling motorcycle accident cases, is that jurors have somewhat of a bias against motorcycle operators just like many of us have a bias against truck drivers. Oftentimes the mere fact that a motorcycle operator is operating a motorcycle as opposed to a motor vehicle, sometimes jurors will hold that against that person just by the mere fact that they’re operating a motorcycle. Thinking that they must be reckless, because who would operate a motorcycle on the roads in Florida?

And oftentimes it’s difficult for us, even where the motorcycle client of ours is not at fault in any manner whatsoever, we still have to overcome that bias that many potential jurors out there have. So you must keep that in mind when pursuing a motorcycle accident case.
