Florida residents like their motorcycles. Research from Statista.com reveals that The Sun Shine state had the second most number of registered bikes in the country at 583,685 in 2017. California was the leader with 828,083 at the time. One thing is for sure, though, whether BMW, Harley Davidson, Honda, Yamaha, or another brand, many Floridians are hitting the open road on two wheels. And, who can blame them?
There is just something about having a powerful engine rumbling between your legs. Plus, being on a bike seems to give a person a sense of freedom. They are not restricted behind metal, glass, and fiberglass. It is merely them, the wind, and the journey. However, operators and passengers need to wear the appropriate safety gear. Although motorcycles are fun and enjoyable, sharing the streets with cars, trucks, and SUVs can make them dangerous as well.
Bikes don't offer the same protection as other vehicles. For instance, they do not come equipped with airbags or seat belts. As such, when a car/motorcycle collision occurs, the results can be catastrophic. Do you still need... ...read full post
All types of motor vehicle accidents are bad, but perhaps, none are worst than those involving tractor-trailers. Why? Well, there are plenty of reasons why such incidents are horrific. For instance, big-rigs are substantially larger than conventional passenger vehicles. Even if the truck doesn't have a trailer attached, its sheer size is enough to intimidate other drivers on the roadways.
However, when a trailer is present, it is often loaded down with various types of products. Some carry fuel or chemicals while others transport groceries or car parts from place to place. Regardless of what kinds of products are back there, the cargo adds a lot of weight to the truck. Thus, if one cannot stop in time, it can cause a vast amount of damage to a car, SUV, or van.
Additionally, the trailers are not always loaded correctly. The freight may be heavier on one side than the other. As such, if the big-rig takes a corner or turn too fast, it could easily flip over and land on top of another vehicle. Of course, many times, driver error is to... ...read full post
Getting into a car crash is a stressful situation. One's adrenaline starts pumping, participants are freaked out, and often, they are unsure of what to do. Firstly, it is important for them to remember to stay calm. Nobody is going to benefit from persons getting mad, angry, and issuing threats. If you are able, take the time to make sure that all those involved are okay.
Be sure to provide first aid if necessary and contact the local authorities to get them on the scene quickly. Once all of this good stuff is handled, it is a good idea to get checked out by a medical professional as well. Even if you aren't hurting at the present time, you could have sustained internal injuries, or you may just not feel the pain because of the adrenaline. After being cleared by the doctor, if the other party was at fault, consider contacting an auto accident attorney.

Florida Insurance Law On Motor Vehicles
In the state of Florida, owners of a motor vehicle that has four or more wheels should have personal injury protection (PIP) insurance and property damage liability insurance. Both insurances have to be at least $10,000.
Who Are Covered?
Since the state requires PIP, it means that it is a no-fault state. It does not matter who caused the injuries. Drivers involved in accidents are eligible to use their PIP coverage.
If the accident happened in Florida, the coverage includes:
• You
• Relatives living in your house
• Some passengers who do not own a vehicle
• People that you allowed to drive your car
If it happened anywhere else in the United States or Canada, PIP covers only you and relatives living in your house. To ensure you get the proper benefits, you should receive initial services and... ...read full post
