Daytona Bike Week Brings Thousands of Bikers in Close Proximity

Each year, Daytona Bike Week brings more than 100,000 riders together over a ten-day period. While this event is a rite of passage for many riders, it can also become the scene of motorcycle accidents resulting in injuries and deaths. 

The bustling event can lead to accidents when:

• The large crowds of bikers cause confusion
• Motorcyclists engage in dangerous acts, such as speeding
• Riders race, endangering others in the process
• Riders are intoxicated or under the influence of drugs

In 2021, the Associated Press reported the death of six riders during Daytona Bike Week. Tragically, such accidents are not uncommon, and your Bike Week may turn into a nightmare if you or a loved one are involved in a collision.

What Should I Do if My Loved One Passed Away from an Accident at Bike Week?

First, our entire team offers its condolences if you have lost a loved one. There is no greater pain than losing a loved one, especially when the death is unexpected. We encourage you to:

It is essential that you seek all necessary care for PTSD, grief, depression, and any other symptoms you’re suffering after the unexpected loss. 
• Hire a Daytona Beach wrongful death lawyer from our team: It is also important that you get financial justice for your loved one’s loss. A lawyer from our firm is ready to represent you and any other loved one’s affected by the wrongful death.

Our firm is passionate about helping clients obtain a measure of justice for a loved one’s passing. We understand the pain and hardship that result from a wrongful death, and we have helped many clients obtain fair financial recoveries after losing a loved one.
