Motorcycle accidents
What Kevin handles.
Motorcycle crashes cause some of the most serious injuries on Florida roads, and the insurance rules are different for riders. Knowing where the coverage is makes all the difference.
Their playbook
What the insurer will try
- Assume the rider was speeding or weaving
- Blame your injuries on not wearing a helmet
- Push fault past 50% so you get nothing
His playbook
What Kevin does
- Secures scene evidence, video and witnesses early
- Brings in reconstruction experts when fault is disputed
- Finds every policy, including your own UM coverage
Evidence beats bias
Motorcyclists are the most vulnerable people on Florida roads, and after a crash they are often the first to be blamed. Adjusters assume the rider was speeding or weaving. Jurors bring their own assumptions. Kevin builds motorcycle cases to overcome that bias with evidence: reconstruction, physical damage analysis, and witness testimony that shows what actually happened.
What makes motorcycle cases different
- Injuries are often catastrophic: traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, road rash requiring grafts and complex fractures. The case has to reflect lifetime medical needs, not just the first hospital bill.
- Florida's PIP system does not cover motorcycles, which changes how medical bills are handled and how the claim is presented from day one.
- Helmet use is frequently raised by the defense. Florida allows riders over 21 with qualifying insurance to ride without a helmet, and Kevin addresses the issue head on rather than letting the insurer use it to discount your claim.
- Left turning drivers who did not see the motorcycle cause many of the most serious crashes, and the evidence proving the driver's failure to yield has to be captured early.
Florida law
The rules are different on two wheels.
Florida law treats motorcycles differently from cars when it comes to insurance and helmets. Insurers use those differences against riders.

PIP for riders
Florida's PIP law does not cover motorcycles, so your recovery often depends on the other driver's policy and your own UM coverage.
Fla. Stat. § 627.73321+
Helmet optional
Riders over 21 with at least $10,000 in medical coverage may ride without a helmet. Not wearing one does not erase your claim.
Fla. Stat. § 316.2112

1Attorney · Your case
The lawyer you hire is the lawyer who handles your case to the finish.
Kevin has spent his career on one side of the courtroom: the injured person's side. He has never represented an insurance company. He founded his firm in 2016 and built it on car crash, premises and wrongful death cases, then spent more than three years as a senior medical malpractice litigation attorney at one of the largest injury firms in the country, trying complex cases before Florida juries. In 2026 he returned to his own practice to give clients what large firms cannot: direct access to the lawyer handling their case.
Every case is different. Past results do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome.
How it works
What happens after you call.
No intake clerk, no runaround. If your case is one Kevin cannot take, he will tell you promptly so you can protect your rights elsewhere.
- Free consultation
You talk to Kevin, not an intake clerk, about what happened and what your options are. There is no charge and no obligation.
- Investigation
Kevin gathers the evidence early: crash reports, video, medical records, witness statements, and in medical cases, the physician review Florida law requires before a malpractice suit can be filed.
- Demand and negotiation
He builds the case and presents it to the insurance company with a clear demand backed by evidence.
- Trial if necessary
If the insurer will not pay what your case is worth, he files suit and prepares it for a jury. Insurance companies know which lawyers try cases. That knowledge changes their offers.

Questions families ask
I wasn't wearing a helmet. Can I still file a claim?
Yes. The insurer may argue it made your injuries worse, but it does not bar your claim, and it has nothing to do with who caused the crash.
Does my motorcycle insurance cover my medical bills?
Not through PIP. Your recovery often comes from the at fault driver's bodily injury coverage and your own uninsured motorist coverage, if you have it.
The driver says they didn't see me. Does that help them?
No. Failing to see a motorcycle that was there to be seen is negligence.
