FAQs
Florida is a No-Fault state, and pursuant to Fla. Stat. § 768.81 Comparative Fault, the percentage of damages attributable to the plaintiff's negligent conduct should be used to reduce the damages they can recover. The jury will consider both the plaintiff's negligence in operating the motorcycle and failure to wear a helmet when calculating the percentage of fault. An injured motorcyclist can seek compensation from the at-fault party through a personal injury lawsuit. Since motorcycles aren't subject to PIP insurance restrictions, injured riders aren't restricted in the damages they can seek for their injuries. For example, an injured motorcyclist who brings a claim against an at-fault party doesn't have to prove their injuries are permanent to recover damages for pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life.
In Florida, motorcycle riders must keep their daytime headlights on at all times when operating their motorcycle.
In a case involving a motorcycle accident, one of the first things to determine is whether the rider was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident. Florida law requires riders under 21 to wear a helmet. If you're over 21, you must wear a helmet if you don't carry at least $10,000 in medical coverage in case of an accident. It's essential to keep in mind that failure to wear a helmet can negatively impact your right to obtain compensation for your injuries after a motorcycle accident.
