Florida Motorcycle Safety Attorney
Protecting Your Rights under Florida Safety Laws
The state of Florida has established laws and regulations to help keep motorcycle riders safe on the congested roads and highways in Florida. Because of the beautiful and sunny weather, motorcyclists in Florida typically ride their bikes year-round, putting them at a higher risk for accidents. If you have been in an accident while riding your motorcycle, your accident may have been caused because the other driver or rider was not paying attention or was texting while driving. Whether you were injured in a sport bike accident or a
cruiser bike accident, a knowledgeable
Florida motorcycle accident attorney can help you further investigate your accident in order to determine who was at fault.
Motorcycle Safety Tips
If you spend a great deal of time riding your motorcycle, it is important to be informed on the current safety laws and recommendations by the DMV. The following safety laws may help you avoid accidents on the road:
- You must wear a helmet while riding unless you are over 21 years old and have a minimum insurance policy of $10,000
- All riders are required to have some form of eye protection. This may be in the form of goggles, glasses or a windshield on the bike.
- Passengers under 16 years of age are required to wear protective headgear while riding a moped or scooter
- All motorcycle riders in Florida must complete a basic motorcycle safety course before obtaining a motorcycle license or endorsement
Even if you are careful to abide by all of the state's motorcycle safety laws, you cannot control the actions of another driver. An accident may occur because the driver of a car or truck does not see your bike or because they were following your motorcycle too closely. Many times, motorcycle riders are the most affected by accidents because they are the least protected of all motor vehicle drivers. Don't wait to contact The Distasio Law Firm if you have been seriously injured.
