Understanding Florida’s No-Fault Insurance and Motorcycle Coverage
Many motorists throughout the state of Florida have PIP, or Personal Injury Protection insurance, which is essentially a form of no-fault insurance that will cover a portion of their medical bills, should they ever sustain an injury in an accident. However, in Florida, motorcyclists are not covered under PIP, which means that if you are injured in a motorcycle accident, you will have to hire an accident attorney to pursue your rightful compensation, as you cannot obtain compensation through PIP.
Motorcycle Helmet Laws in Florida
As you know, wearing a helmet while riding a motorcycle is the safe thing to do, which is why everyone should ensure that they do so. However, in Florida, if you're over the age of 21 and you've purchased at least $10,000 in medical coverage for injuries sustained in an accident, you will not have to wear a helmet by law. That being said, all other motorcyclists in the state of Florida are legally required to wear helmets. Furthermore, Florida law states that all motorcyclists must wear eye protection at all times.
Statute of Limitations for Motorcycle Accident Claims in Florida
The statute of limitations for motorcycle accident claims in Florida is two years, meaning that you must not wait any longer than two years from the date of your accident to sue. Speak with Merricks Law Group today so we can begin fighting for the compensation you deserve.
