Florida follows a fault-based system, meaning the driver responsible for causing the accident is typically liable. Fault is determined through police reports, witness statements, photographs, and sometimes accident reconstruction. Under modified comparative negligence, you can still recover damages if you are less than 50% at fault, but your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
Yes. Florida law requires you to report an accident if there was an injury, a death, or property damage over $500. Having an official police report can be an important piece of evidence for your claim.
If you are 21 or older and carry at least $10,000 in medical insurance coverage, you can legally ride without a helmet in Florida.
Not wearing a helmet does not automatically prevent you from recovering damages, but the insurance company may argue that it contributed to the severity of your injuries, which could reduce your compensation.
Yes. An attorney can:
Most work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless they recover money for you.
Yes. This is often necessary in motorcycle accidents since riders are not covered by Florida’s no-fault PIP benefits. You can pursue the at-fault driver’s liability insurance and, if needed, sue them directly.
