What a Miami Beach Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Needs From You
Frequently Asked Questions

Riders cross into Miami Beach on the MacArthur, Venetian, Julia Tuttle and 79th Street causeways, then share Alton Road, Collins Avenue and Washington Avenue with delivery vans, tour traffic and drivers looking for parking. As a Miami Beach motorcycle accident lawyer, Tomas Robirosa helps riders and passengers sort out insurance, medical bills and fault after a crash. He also handles motorcycle accident claims across Florida.

Why PIP Usually Does Not Help a Rider

Florida's no-fault PIP system covers cars, not motorcycles. If you were riding, your own PIP generally does not pay your medical bills the way it would for a driver. That makes other coverage more important: the at-fault driver's bodily injury liability policy, your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage, and any medical payments coverage on your motorcycle policy.

Many drivers in Florida carry low liability limits or none at all. Uninsured motorist coverage on your bike policy, or sometimes on a household car policy, can fill that gap. We read every policy that might apply before anyone talks numbers.

Helmets, Fault and the Other Driver's Story

Under Florida Statute 316.211, a rider over 21 may ride without a helmet if they carry at least $10,000 in medical benefits coverage. Riding without one is not the same as causing the crash. Still, the insurer may argue that a missing helmet made a head injury worse.

Florida now uses modified comparative negligence. If you are found more than 50% at fault, you generally recover nothing. At 50% or less, your recovery is reduced by your share. Insurers know this, so they often say the rider was speeding or splitting lanes. Photos, helmet camera footage, the bike's damage and witness names help answer that.

What a Miami Beach Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Needs From You

Inside city limits, the Miami Beach Police Department generally writes the crash report. On the causeways, a different agency may take the report, so write down the officer's name and agency. Then:

Get medical care, even if you can still walk.
Photograph the bike, the car, the road and any skid marks.
Keep your damaged gear. A cracked helmet or torn jacket is evidence.
Do not give a recorded statement to the other driver's insurer before getting advice.

Call (305) 600-0529 and Tomas will review what happened. You can also read more about our work in Miami Beach.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does my PIP cover a motorcycle crash in Miami Beach?

Generally no. Florida PIP covers cars, not motorcycles, so medical bills usually come from the other driver's liability coverage, your uninsured motorist coverage or medical payments coverage.

How long do I have to file a motorcycle injury claim?

For crashes after March 24, 2023, the deadline for most negligence claims in Florida is generally two years. Every case is different, so speak with an attorney to confirm the deadline that applies to you.

Can I still recover if I was not wearing a helmet?

Often yes, if you were over 21 and had the required medical coverage. The insurer may argue the helmet issue affects your injuries, which is a damages question, not automatically a bar.

What does it cost to hire Tomas?

Nothing up front. We work on a contingency basis: no fee unless we recover.

Can I speak with the firm in Spanish?

Yes. Tomas speaks Spanish and English, and you can talk with the office in either language.
