Florida state law requires helmets except for
motorcyclists who are over 21 and covered by an insurance policy
providing at least $10,000 in medical benefits for injuries incurred as
a result of a motorcycle accident. Florida also requires eye
protection, daytime use of headlights, and at least one rearview
mirror. Lane splitting is not permitted.
Motorcycle
operators often face a degree of judicial prejudice after a collision.
Motorcycle accident victims must overcome the biased belief that an
accident is likely the fault of a reckless motorcyclist. At McElyea & Barnard, P.A., we know the relevant traffic regulations
and will build a strong case for injured motorcyclists. Serving the
Greater Orlando, Central Florida area, our motorcycle accident lawyers
