What Florida Law Says About Motorcycle Accidents

Florida is a no-fault insurance state—but this rule does not apply to motorcyclists. This means injured riders are not entitled to personal injury protection (PIP) and must pursue compensation through a personal injury claim or lawsuit.

Key Florida laws affecting motorcycle accident claims:

• Comparative Fault (Florida Statute § 768.81): Your compensation may be reduced if you’re partially at fault—but you can still recover damages.

• Helmet Law: Riders over 21 with at least $10,000 in medical coverage are not required to wear helmets. However, not wearing a helmet may be used against you.

• Statute of Limitations: Motorcycle accident victims have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit in Florida.

Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries in Florida

Motorcycle crash victims often suffer:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)

• Spinal cord injuries and paralysis

• Broken bones and fractures

• Road rash and disfigurement

• Internal bleeding and organ damage

• Psychological trauma (e.g., PTSD)

Even if injuries aren’t immediately obvious, you should seek medical attention and legal advice right away.
