Riders deserve justice. We fight insurance companies that blame the victim and recover maximum compensation for injured motorcyclists throughout Florida.

Florida Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Fighting for Riders

Florida is one of the most dangerous states in the nation for motorcyclists. Warm weather, year-round riding, and heavy traffic create conditions where serious crashes happen every day. When a negligent driver causes a motorcycle accident, the consequences are almost always catastrophic — riders have no protection between themselves and the road.

Insurance companies know this — and they use it against you. Adjusters are trained to assign blame to the rider, minimize injuries, and close claims for as little as possible. At Juan Cordero Lawyers, we have been fighting this bias for over 26 years. We know how to build motorcycle accident cases that win.

We work on a contingency fee basis — you pay nothing unless we win. We will come to you at your home or hospital at no cost.

Florida Motorcycle Law: What Riders Need to Know

Motorcycle accident claims in Florida operate under different rules than car accident claims. Understanding these differences is critical to protecting your recovery.

2-Year Deadline

Florida's 2023 tort reform reduced the statute of limitations for negligence claims to 2 years from the date of the accident (§95.11(3)(a)). Missing this deadline permanently bars your claim. Contact us immediately after your crash.

No PIP for Motorcycles

Florida's no-fault PIP system does not apply to motorcycles. Riders must pursue claims directly against the at-fault driver — which means you can recover pain and suffering without a serious injury threshold, but you must prove fault.

Modified Comparative Fault

Under Florida's 2023 tort reform, if you are found more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover. If 50% or less, your recovery is reduced by your fault percentage. Insurers routinely inflate rider fault — an attorney protects you from this tactic.

Motorcycle Accident FAQ

Does Florida require motorcycle riders to wear helmets?

Florida law requires riders under 21 to wear a helmet. Riders 21 and older may ride without a helmet if they carry at least $10,000 in medical benefits insurance. However, not wearing a helmet can affect your damages if the insurer argues it contributed to your head injuries — an attorney can counter this argument.

What if the at-fault driver has no insurance?

If the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured, you may have a claim under your own Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. Florida does not require UM coverage, but if you purchased it, it can be a critical source of recovery. We will identify every available insurance policy.

Can I recover if a road defect caused my motorcycle accident?

Yes. If a dangerous road condition — a pothole, missing guardrail, improper signage, or defective pavement — caused your crash, you may have a claim against the government entity responsible for maintaining the road. These claims have shorter notice deadlines and require experienced legal handling.
