Essential Steps After a Motorcycle Accident in Florida
We Don’t Take “Low” for an Answer!
A motorcycle accident in Florida—whether on I-95 in Miami or Gulf Boulevard in St. Petersburg—can leave you shaken, injured, and uncertain. The moments following a crash are crucial for protecting your health, rights, and future. With nearly 25 years of experience, Kaiser Romanello Accident & Injury Attorneys offers this step-by-step guide to help Florida riders take control.
Prioritize Your Safety and Health
Your health is the top priority. Adrenaline can mask serious injuries like concussions or internal bleeding, common in Florida’s over 8,000 motorcycle crashes in 2022 (FLHSMV). Seek immediate medical attention, whether at the scene or a hospital in Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, or Tampa. This ensures your well-being and creates a medical record linking injuries to the accident, vital for your claim.
Report the Accident and Gather Evidence
Call 911 to report the crash, especially on busy roads like International Speedway Boulevard in Daytona Beach. A police report captures key details. If able, photograph the scene—your bike, the other vehicle, skid marks, and road conditions. Collect witness contact information; someone on Hollywood Boulevard may have seen critical details. Avoid discussing fault, as statements could harm your case later.
Notify Your Insurance Cautiously
Florida’s no-fault laws don’t fully apply to motorcyclists, so you’ll likely seek compensation from the at-fault driver’s insurance. Inform your insurer promptly but avoid detailed statements or quick settlements without legal advice. NHTSA notes motorcyclists face high injury costs—averaging $20,000 per crash in 2023. Insurance companies may minimize payouts, leaving you with unpaid bills.
Why These Steps Are Critical
Each action strengthens your case. Delaying medical care or failing to document the scene can weaken your claim, particularly if the other driver shifts blame. Florida’s comparative negligence laws reduce compensation if you’re partially at fault, a common issue on roads like 4th Street North in St. Pete or A1A in Broward County. Proper steps ensure recovery for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
