Florida Laws That Shape Your Motorcycle Claim
Helmet Rules. Florida allows riders 21+ to ride without a helmet if they carry at least $10,000 in medical benefits. Not wearing a helmet can still influence damage arguments if head injuries are at issue. (See Florida Statutes §316.211.)
Lane Splitting. Riding between lanes is illegal in Florida and may complicate fault assessments.
PIP Doesn’t Apply to Bikes. Unlike cars, motorcycles do not fall under PIP (no‑fault). Riders typically recover through the at‑fault driver’s bodily injury coverage or their own UM/UIM. See our guide to insurance and third‑party claims.
Comparative Negligence & Deadlines. Since March 24, 2023 (HB 837), Florida uses a 51% bar rule—if you are more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover; otherwise, your award is reduced by your share of fault. The statute of limitations for most negligence cases is two years. (Reference: HB 837.)
Compensation You Can Pursue
- Medical bills (ER, hospitalization, surgery, therapy)
- Future care (rehab, pain management, assistive devices)
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Property loss (bike repair/replacement, gear)
- Wrongful death damages for families
We track medical liens and coordinate billing so your net recovery isn’t undermined by paperwork.

Daytona Beach & Volusia: What Recent Numbers Tell Us
Florida remains a hot spot for serious rider injuries. According to FLHSMV’s Crash Dashboard, Florida recorded thousands of motorcycle crashes annually, with Volusia County consistently ranking high due to event traffic (e.g., Daytona Bike Week, Biketoberfest), tourism, and high‑speed corridors connecting to I‑95 and I‑4. You can review current, county‑level data via:
These sources track trends like intersection collisions, left‑turn conflicts, and nighttime crashes that disproportionately impact riders.
