I was involved in a Florida motorcycle accident, but I don’t have a motorcycle license. Can I still recover compensation?

In the state of Florida, if you’re involved in a motorcycle crash and do not have a motorcycle license, you still may recover compensation. The existence of a motorcycle license may be an issue for purposes of a civil infraction or a ticket, but it will not bar the doors to the courtroom for you to reach a recovery for your actual injuries. As a result, we recommend that you hire an experienced personal injury attorney to represent you for your claim.
