Helmet Laws in Florida:

Riders over 21 with $10,000 in medical insurance coverage aren’t mandated to wear helmets. However, helmet usage is strongly advised for safety.

Determining Fault:

Florida adheres to a “pure comparative negligence” rule. Compensation may be reduced based on your fault percentage in the accident.

Recoverable Damages:

You may claim for medical expenses, property damage, lost wages, pain and suffering, and wrongful death in fatal cases.

Statute of Limitations:

The deadline for filing personal injury claims is four years, and for wrongful death, it’s two years from the date of the accident or death.
