In Florida, riders do not receive PIP benefits the same way drivers do, which makes building a thorough bodily‑injury claim even more important. We explain coverage options and next steps clearly.
Why Motorcycle Claims Work Differently
- Limited PIP for motorcyclists. Many riders rely on the at‑fault driver’s BI coverage and their own UM/UIM.
- Bias and visibility issues. Insurers often argue the rider was “speeding” or “came out of nowhere.” We counter with evidence.
- Injury severity. Road rash, fractures, TBIs, and spinal injuries require careful proof of future care and work impact.

Palm Coast & Flagler County: Riding by the Numbers
Flagler County roads carry commuter traffic, vacationers, and through‑traffic on I‑95. State dashboards show recurring motorcycle crashes at major intersections and along beach‑bound routes. Review current local trends here:
- FLHSMV Crash Dashboard – county and city crash counts, injuries, and fatalities.
- FDOT Safety Data – corridor mapping and safety analysis for state roads.
Common Crash Scenarios in Palm Coast
- Left‑turn conflicts at SR‑100 and Palm Coast Pkwy intersections
- Unsafe lane changes on I‑95 and US‑1
- Rear‑end impacts in stop‑and‑go traffic near shopping corridors
- Driveway and side‑street pull‑outs along Old Kings Rd and Belle Terre Pkwy
- Debris, sand, or water near beach routes and roundabouts
We secure scene photos, traffic camera or business video, EDR data from the other vehicle, and witness statements to prove fault.
Injuries We Commonly See (and How We Document Them)
- Road rash and lacerations requiring wound care or grafts
- Fractures of the wrist, ankle, collarbone, ribs, and pelvis
- Traumatic brain injuries and concussion
- Spinal injuries (disc herniations, cord injury)
- Joint tears (shoulder, knee) and chronic pain
We coordinate with your providers to build a treatment timeline and obtain imaging, operative reports, and therapy notes needed to value future care and restrictions.
PRACTICE AREAS
Florida Laws Riders Ask About
Helmet rules. Adults may ride without a helmet only with at least $10,000 in medical benefits for injuries from a crash. Helmets and protective gear reduce injury severity and can influence case value.
Comparative negligence & deadlines. Since March 24, 2023, Florida uses a 51% bar. If you are more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover; otherwise, your recovery is reduced by your share. Most negligence claims must be filed within two years. See trial & litigation process for how cases move forward.
No lane splitting. Florida does not permit lane splitting; insurer arguments about “unsafe filtering” are common and must be addressed with facts from the scene.
What To Do After a Motorcycle Crash in Flagler County
- Call 911 and get medical care the same day.
- Photograph everything: vehicles, final positions, skid marks, lighting, debris, road surface.
- Identify cameras at intersections, storefronts, or gas stations.
- Exchange information and note the crash report number (FHP, Flagler Sheriff, or Palm Coast PD).
- Avoid recorded statements and social posts until you speak with counsel.
