Florida’s insurance rules create a specific trap for injured riders: the state’s no-fault personal injury protection coverage, which pays out automatically after most car accidents, does not apply to motorcycle crashes. Schlesinger Law Offices, P.A. has represented injured motorcyclists in South Florida for more than 70 years and built its Fort Lauderdale practice around this gap, pursuing compensation directly from negligent drivers, vehicle manufacturers, and government entities responsible for unsafe roadways when no automatic coverage exists.
The firm advises riders to follow four rules after a crash to protect their legal rights: report the accident to police and insurers right away without admitting fault, seek medical attention immediately even when injuries seem minor since road rash and internal injuries are common and easy to miss, follow through with every recommended treatment so the injury claim isn’t undermined later, and avoid accepting the first settlement offer an insurer proposes. The firm notes that skipping follow-up care is often used by opposing insurers to argue an injury wasn’t serious.
