Florida requires motorcycles to have property damage (pays the other person’s property) and bodily injury (pays someone they hurt).

Your license can be suspended if you are in an accident and don’t have this insurance, even if you are not at fault. We urge people to consider medical payments coverage (pays their own medical bills in an accident) and uninsured motorist coverage (pays their pain, suffering, lost wages and other damage) when hitting someone with little or no insurance on their own car.

Florida law requires malpractice claims to be brought within two years of the time the person knows or should have known of the basis for the claim. This time limit may be longer if the medical provider misrepresented the circumstances, conceded it or committed fraud. There are separate rules for bringing a claim for a minor.

The claim must be investigated before the time expires. The investigation takes time. Don’t wait if you feel you may have a medical malpractice claim. You need to speak with an experienced Florida Medical Malpractice lawyer at the earliest opportunity.

A driver who causes a car wreck is liable for another person’s injuries if the driver was at fault or was negligent. The driver may try to prove they were not at fault if the accident was caused because they blacked out, suffered a heart attack or had some other sudden medical emergency. The driver responsible for the wreck  must have proof that what happened to them was sudden and unexpected – which is not always easy to prove.

If you are in an accident, you may need an experienced Florida Car Wreck lawyer on your side, particularly when the other driver claims an unexpected medical emergency caused the accident.
