Miami Motorcycle Accident Lawyers
Riders face a bias from adjusters and jurors before a single fact is known. We take it apart with evidence, experts and riders on our own team.

How we handle motorcycle accidents cases
Florida riders are not covered by PIP, which means medical bills start stacking up the day of the crash. Insurers then try to shift blame to the rider, pointing to speed, lane position or a missing helmet. Florida's helmet exemption for adult riders is conditioned on carrying a statutory amount of medical coverage, a figure worth confirming against the current statute, and not wearing a helmet does not bar your claim.
We move quickly to secure intersection video, measure skid marks and interview witnesses before memories fade. Our attorneys include lifelong riders who understand how a left-turning driver's 'I never saw him' is an admission of negligence, not an excuse.
Riders are excluded from Florida no-fault, so coverage work starts on day one. This is a practice fact, not a case result: we publish no settlement or verdict figures anywhere on this site.
Cases we take
- Left-turn and intersection crashes
- Lane change and sideswipe collisions
- Dooring and parked vehicle crashes
- Road hazard and defective roadway claims
- Defective motorcycle parts
- Passenger injury claims
What working with us looks like
Our motorcycle accidents process
Every case gets the same disciplined start, adapted to the evidence that matters most for this type of claim.
Counter the rider bias
Reconstruction and video evidence show what the driver did, not what the adjuster assumes.
Same dayGet you treated fast
With no PIP for riders, we connect you with physicians who defer payment until the case resolves.
Week oneAccount for gear and bike
Helmets, riding gear, custom parts and diminished value are all part of the claim.
Until maximum medical improvementPush for full value
We prepare every motorcycle case as if it will go to a Miami-Dade jury.
When treatment is complete
Categories, not numbers
Compensation you may recover
Florida law allows injured people to recover economic and non-economic losses. What any individual claim is worth depends on its own evidence and on the insurance that is actually available, so we list the categories and never a figure.
- Road rash, fractures and surgery
- Traumatic brain injury care
- Lost income during recovery
- Motorcycle, gear and custom parts
- Scarring and disfigurement
- Pain, suffering and lost quality of life
What affects the value of your case
- Driver visibility claims
- Sight line analysis often proves the driver could have seen the rider and failed to look.
- Helmet use
- Not a bar to recovery, but it can affect head injury damages. We address it directly.
- Coverage available
- The at-fault driver's bodily injury limits and your UM coverage determine the recovery path.
- Permanent injury
- Scarring, amputation and brain injuries carry significant future damages.

Every matter, in fullMotorcycle Accidents questions
Florida-specific answers. For advice on your situation, request a free review.
Yes. Helmet use may be argued as comparative fault for head injuries, but it does not prevent you from recovering for injuries the driver caused.
No. Motorcycles are excluded from Florida's PIP requirement, which is why uninsured motorist coverage and a claim against the driver are so important.
Claims of speeding are common and often wrong. Video, crush damage and reconstruction frequently show the rider was within the limit.
