In the attached video, personal injury attorney Aaron Warner explains the crucial role insurance plays in motorcycle accident claims. Many riders assume they are fully covered, only to find out after an accident that their insurance—or the other driver’s—may not provide the protection they need. Knowing your rights and the types of insurance available can make a huge difference in the outcome of your case.
One of the most surprising facts about motorcycle insurance in Florida is that riders are not required to carry insurance to register or operate their motorcycles. Additionally, many drivers on the road are also not required to carry liability insurance, meaning that if a motorcyclist is hit by an uninsured driver, they may be left with little to no financial recourse. This is why uninsured and underinsured motorist (UM) coverage is so critical. UM coverage helps protect you if you are involved in an accident with an uninsured or underinsured driver, ensuring you can still receive compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and other damages.
Another key consideration is stacked UM coverage. If you own multiple vehicles, stacking coverage allows you to increase your potential compensation by combining coverage from multiple policies. This can be a game-changer, especially if you’re injured while riding a friend’s motorcycle.
Beyond insurance, preserving evidence is vital in motorcycle accidents. If you have a GoPro or other recording device, ensuring that footage is saved and accessible can help prove fault. Even if video evidence appears lost or damaged, attorneys like those at Warner Fitz Martin can often recover it to support your case.
