I was injured in a Florida motorcycle accident, but I wasn’t wearing a helmet. Can I still…
Yes. If the other driver was at fault for the accident. In Florida, if someone’s driving negligently and they injure you on a motorcycle, you can collect damages from them. The problem’s going to be if you didn’t take the safety precaution to wear a helmet, that can diminish your damages; especially if it’s a head or neck injury or something that the helmet could have been prevented. Your damages will be reduced by the actions that you took to not wear a helmet on that motorcycle.
