Why Motorcycle Injury Cases Are Different
Motorcycle crashes bring higher forces, limited protection, and bias from insurers who assume the rider caused it. RAM Law & Title, PLLC builds the facts—driver inattention, left-turn impacts on US-1, unsafe lane changes near Miracle Mile, or dooring on Ponce de Leon—to overcome assumptions and position your claim for full value.

How We Prove Fault And Damages
We secure police reports and bodycam footage, canvass for nearby video, download vehicle data when available, and work with reconstruction experts. We document medical care, lost income, and long-term limitations—then push carriers with evidence-based demands or file suit in Miami-Dade when offers fall short. If the crash involved a tractor-trailer or box truck, compare strategies on
truck accidents.
Florida Motorcycle Laws That Matter
Unlike cars, motorcycles don’t receive PIP benefits in Florida; recovery often depends on the at-fault driver’s liability coverage and your UM/UIM policy. Lane splitting is illegal, and helmet use (age 21+ with qualifying insurance) can affect damages arguments—but negligence by the other driver still drives liability. Learn how we handle standard roadway crashes on
car accidents.
Common Injuries And Real Costs
Fractures, road rash with scarring, shoulder and knee injuries, spinal trauma, and TBIs are common after a Coral Gables or Coconut Grove wreck. We coordinate specialists, capture future treatment needs, and calculate diminished earning capacity so compensation reflects the full impact on your work and life.
Frequently Asked Questions
Motorcycle Accidents
Do Florida motorcyclists get PIP benefits?
No. Motorcycles aren’t covered by Florida auto PIP, so injury claims rely on the at-fault party’s liability coverage and your UM/UIM if purchased. A motorcycle accident attorney in Miami pursues all available policies.
Can not wearing a helmet hurt my case?
Riders over 21 may ride without a helmet if they carry qualifying medical insurance. Lack of a helmet can affect damages arguments, but you can still recover if another driver’s negligence caused the crash. A Coral Gables motorcycle lawyer frames the evidence to protect your claim.
Is lane splitting legal in Florida?
No—lane splitting is illegal. If it’s alleged, a motorcycle accident lawyer works to counter fault arguments with scene evidence and witness accounts.
What injuries are common in motorcycle crashes?
Fractures, road rash with scarring, shoulder/knee injuries, spinal trauma, and TBI. A Miami motorcycle accident attorney documents specialized treatment and long-term impacts like loss of earning capacity.
How fast should I hire counsel after a wreck?
Immediately. Critical evidence—skid marks, debris fields, nearby video—fades quickly. A Coral Gables motorcycle accident lawyer preserves proof and deals with insurers from day one.
