Yes. Broward County is one of the most dangerous cities in Florida for motorcycle riders.
Florida consistently ranks among the states with the highest motorcycle fatality rates. Heavy tourism, distracted drivers, congested intersections, and impaired driving significantly increase the risk for riders—who lack the physical protection of enclosed vehicles.
Motorcyclists are especially vulnerable to:
Drivers failing to yield while turning left
Lane changes without proper lookout
Rear-end collisions at traffic signals
Distracted or impaired drivers
Even a low-speed collision can result in catastrophic injuries for a rider.
Motorcycle crashes are rarely the rider’s fault. Common causes we see include:
Failure to yield the right-of-way
Distracted driving (cell phones, GPS, infotainment systems)
Aggressive or reckless driving
Speeding
Alcohol and drug use remain major contributors to serious motorcycle accidents across South Florida.
Uneven pavement
Loose gravel or debris
Poor drainage during heavy rain
Inadequate signage or lighting
Many drivers claim they “didn’t see the motorcycle.” This does not excuse negligence, and we aggressively challenge these defenses.
Motorcycle riders often suffer severe, permanent injuries, including:
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI), even with helmets
Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
Broken bones and complex fractures
Severe road rash and skin graft injuries
Internal organ damage
Neck and back injuries
Amputations
These injuries frequently require long-term care and may permanently alter a victim’s quality of life. Our Fort Lauderdale motorcycle accident lawyers fight to ensure your compensation reflects the full extent of your suffering.
Unlike car drivers, motorcyclists are not covered by PIP (Personal Injury Protection) in most cases. This means you typically pursue compensation directly from the at-fault driver’s insurance—or through uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage.
Florida also follows comparative negligence rules, meaning your compensation may be reduced if you are found partially at fault—but you are not automatically barred from recovery.
