Pembroke Pines is located in Broward County, Florida, and is crossed by busy corridors like Pines Boulevard, Sheridan Street, and University Drive — routes popular with local motorcyclists but also common sites for serious crashes. If you or a loved one has been injured in a motorcycle accident in Pembroke Pines, our Pembroke Pines injury lawyers are ready to fight for the compensation you deserve.
Florida law requires every motorcycle rider and passenger under 21 to wear a DOT-approved helmet. Riders 21 and older may legally ride without one only if they carry at least $10,000 in medical benefits insurance. Despite that exemption, our Pembroke Pines motorcycle accident lawyers strongly recommend that every rider and passenger wear an approved helmet at all times — unhelmeted riders suffer disproportionately severe head and brain injuries in Florida motorcycle crashes.
Motorcycle accidents in Pembroke Pines are most often caused by left-turning vehicles that fail to yield, distracted or inattentive drivers, unsafe lane changes, and speeding on busy corridors near I-75 and the Everglades. Because motorcycles offer riders little protection, these crashes frequently result in road rash, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord damage, and broken bones — injuries with long recoveries and significant medical costs.
Unlike car accidents, Florida’s no-fault Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance does not cover motorcycle riders, which means an injured motorcyclist often must pursue a claim directly against the at-fault driver’s liability insurance to recover medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. We work closely with our clients to represent their legal needs and obtain the compensation they are entitled to for lost wages, medical expenses, rehabilitation, occupational therapy, vocational therapy, physical therapy, surgery, and scar revision.
