Fort Lauderdale Motorcycle Accident Lawyers

Navigating Motorcycle Injury Cases

If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident in Fort Lauderdale, your life has likely changed in an instant. The freedom of riding down A1A or Las Olas Boulevard has been replaced by the chaos of emergency rooms, mounting medical bills, and aggressive insurance adjusters.

At Kemp Law Group, we understand that you are facing more than just physical pain. You are facing a complex legal system that is often biased against riders. You do not have to face this alone.

We are not just personal injury lawyers; we are your strategic partners in recovery. We combine the "insider knowledge" of former insurance defense attorneys with a compassionate, holistic approach to client care. Our goal is to lift the burden off your shoulders so you can focus on what matters most: healing.

Immediate Concerns: Answers to Your Questions

After a crash, uncertainty is the enemy. Here are the honest answers to the questions keeping you up at night.

"Who Will Pay My Medical Bills? Does PIP Cover Me?"

This is the most critical difference between car and motorcycle accidents in Florida. Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage does NOT apply to motorcycles.

While a car driver can rely on $10,000 in immediate coverage regardless of fault, you as a rider cannot. This means you may be facing out-of-pocket costs immediately unless you have specific medical payments coverage or private health insurance.

• The Solution: We act immediately to identify all available sources of funding, including the at-fault driver's Bodily Injury Liability (BIL) coverage and your own Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM) coverage, to ensure your bills are paid.  

"The Driver Turned Left in Front of Me. Is It My Fault?"

Left-turn accidents are the most common cause of motorcycle crashes, often occurring at busy intersections like Sunrise Boulevard & Andrews Avenue or Federal Highway (US-1). Drivers frequently claim they "didn't see" the rider.

• The Reality: "I didn't see you" is not a legal defense; it is an admission of negligence. We investigate the scene, pull traffic camera footage, and use accident reconstruction experts to prove the driver violated your right of way.

"I Wasn't Wearing a Helmet. Do I Still Have a Case?"

Yes. Florida law allows riders over 21 to ride without a helmet if they carry at least $10,000 in medical insurance. However, insurance defense lawyers often use the "Helmet Defense" to argue that your injuries are your own fault, trying to reduce your compensation.

• The Strategy: We know how to counter this tactic. Unless the defense can prove a helmet would have specifically prevented your injury (which is difficult in cases involving broken bones, road rash, or spinal injuries), your right to compensation should not be diminished.

High-Risk Areas for Motorcyclists in Broward County

We are deeply familiar with the local roads where accidents happen most frequently. In 2023 alone, Broward County saw over 750 motorcycle crashes. We have successfully handled cases occurring on:

• The "Strip" (A1A & Las Olas Blvd): Heavy tourist traffic and distracted drivers looking for parking often lead to collisions here.
• Sunrise Boulevard: A major east-west artery where speeding and sudden lane changes are common hazards.
• I-95 and I-595: High-speed corridors where congestion can lead to devastating rear-end collisions.
• US-27 (Okeechobee Road): A popular route for riders heading to spots like Cafe 27, but dangerous due to high speeds and heavy truck traffic.

Frequently Asked Questions

The insurance adjuster wants a recorded statement. Should I give one?

No. Do not speak to the insurance company without an attorney. They are trained to ask leading questions designed to make you admit fault or downplay your injuries. Tell them to contact Kemp Law Group, and we will handle all communication.

How much does it cost to hire you?

Zero upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis. This means we advance all costs for your case, and we only get paid if we successfully recover compensation for you. If we don't win, you don't pay.

How long do I have to file a claim?

Florida's statute of limitations for negligence claims was recently shortened. You now have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. Waiting too long can permanently bar you from recovering compensation, so immediate action is vital.
