Motorcycle Accidents
Hollywood & Broward Motorcycle Accident Attorney
Motorcyclists face two battles after a crash. The first is recovering from injuries that tend to be far more severe than those in an enclosed vehicle. The second is the unfair assumption that the rider must have been reckless or speeding. At Furmanski Law Group, Daniel Furmanski rejects that bias and builds your case on the facts. He represents riders across Broward and Miami-Dade with the same direct, aggressive, hands-on approach that defines the firm.
Why motorcycle claims are tougher
Insurance companies often start from the position that the rider was at fault, and jurors can carry that same prejudice. Overcoming it takes careful evidence and a lawyer willing to push back. There is also a Florida coverage gap that catches many riders by surprise. Personal Injury Protection, the no-fault coverage that pays initial medical bills after a car crash, generally does not extend to motorcycles. That makes the claim against the at-fault driver even more important, because it is often your primary path to covering medical care and lost income.
Common causes of motorcycle crashes
The crashes we handle frequently involve drivers who turn left across a rider’s path, change lanes without looking, follow too closely, or open a car door into traffic. Road hazards, poor lighting, and distracted driving add to the danger on South Florida roads. In most of these cases, the motorist simply failed to see or yield to the motorcyclist, and that failure is the heart of the claim.
The injuries we see
Without the protection of a car’s frame, riders absorb tremendous force in a collision. We represent clients with road rash, broken bones, internal injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and spinal cord damage. When injuries are this serious, the value of the claim must account for future surgeries, rehabilitation, and long-term care, not just the first hospital bill. We work with medical experts to document the full picture so the settlement reflects it.
Proving the other driver was at fault
Because bias works against riders, strong evidence is everything. We collect the police report, scene photographs, traffic and surveillance video, and witness statements, and when needed we bring in accident reconstruction experts. Building a clear, fact-based account of how the crash happened is the most effective way to neutralize the assumption that the rider was to blame.
What you can recover
A motorcycle accident claim in Florida can include compensation for medical expenses, future care, lost wages and reduced earning capacity, property damage to your bike, and the physical pain and emotional suffering you endure. If the at-fault driver was underinsured, we look to every other available source of coverage to make you whole.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About
Q: Does PIP cover motorcycle riders?
Generally no. Florida's no-fault PIP coverage usually does not extend to motorcycles, which is why pursuing the at-fault driver is so important.
Q: Will not wearing a helmet hurt my case?
It can become an issue, but it does not automatically bar your recovery. We address it head-on and keep the focus on the other driver's negligence.
Q: What if the insurer says I was speeding?
Florida uses a comparative negligence system, so even partial fault does not necessarily end your claim. We fight to establish the other driver's responsibility.
