Were You Injured in a Boca Raton Motorcycle Accident?
Our Boca Raton motorcycle accident attorneys have helped countless riders who were seriously injured in crashes. Today, motorcycle riders come from every walk of life — professionals, families, commuters — who ride for freedom, efficiency, and enjoyment. Unfortunately, motorcycles offer far less protection than cars, leaving riders more vulnerable in collisions on I-95, Glades Road, Military Trail, and Federal Highway.
Motorcycle crashes often result in catastrophic injuries or even wrongful death. If you or a loved one were harmed, having a skilled Florida motorcycle accident attorney on your side is crucial. Our lawyers know how to push back against insurance company tactics and pursue the full financial recovery you need to move forward.
No upfront cost, ever. Shiner Law Group handles all motorcycle accident cases on a strict contingency fee basis. You pay nothing unless we win compensation for you. Call (561) 777-7700 for a free, confidential consultation — available 24/7.

What to Do After a Motorcycle Accident in Boca Raton — Steps That Protect Your Claim
The actions you take in the first minutes and hours after a crash determine the strength of your injury claim. Follow these steps exactly.
Call 911 and Stay at the Scene
Florida law requires you to remain at the scene. A police report documenting the crash is foundational evidence. Make sure the officer takes statements from all witnesses before leaving.
Seek Medical Care Within 24 Hours
Even if you feel fine, see a doctor immediately. Traumatic brain injuries and spinal trauma may not show symptoms right away — and gaps in treatment are used against you by insurers.
Photograph Everything at the Scene
Vehicle and motorcycle damage, license plates, road conditions, skid marks, traffic signals, debris, and your injuries from multiple angles. Your phone photos may be your most important evidence.
Get All Driver and Witness Information
Name, license number, insurance card, and contact information from every driver. Names and phone numbers from every witness — they often leave quickly. Note the responding officer's badge number.
Do Not Give a Recorded Statement
The other driver's insurer will call quickly and request a recorded statement. Decline politely. These statements are used to minimize your recovery. Contact Shiner Law Group first.
Beware of Early Settlement Offers
Quick lowball offers are designed to close your claim before you know the full extent of your injuries. Never sign anything or accept any offer without speaking to an attorney first.
Getting your police report in Palm Beach County: The responding agency may be Boca Raton Police, Palm Beach County Sheriff, or Florida Highway Patrol depending on crash location. Reports are available through the responding agency's records division or through Florida's crash portal at flhsmv.gov. As an involved party, you may obtain your report earlier than the general public.
Common Motorcycle Accidents Caused by Negligence
Motorcyclists face unique dangers on Boca Raton roads. Each accident type presents distinct legal challenges — our attorneys know how to handle all of them.
Left-Turn Collisions
The most common type — cars turning across a rider's path. Drivers fail to yield or misjudge motorcycle speed. These crashes are frequently catastrophic and almost always the car driver's fault.
Rear-End Crashes
Motorcycles stopped in traffic are struck by following vehicles. Due to the lack of protection, even low-speed rear impacts can cause severe spinal injuries and force riders into the intersection.
Road Hazard Crashes
Gravel, sand, potholes, oil slicks, and poorly maintained roads can cause loss of control at speed. Liability may fall on municipalities, contractors, or property owners depending on the hazard location.
Unsafe Lane Changes
Cars merging into motorcycles in blind spots — one of the most common negligent acts against riders. Motorcycle visibility is a persistent issue that drivers are responsible for overcoming.
Distracted Driving
Over 660,000 drivers use phones at any moment in daylight traffic. Texting, GPS use, and other distractions mean drivers never see motorcycles until it's too late. Phone records can prove this.
Drunk & Impaired Driving
Intoxicated motorists often fail to brake or take evasive action. Our attorneys investigate DUI crashes using toxicology reports, traffic camera footage, and witness testimony to establish impairment.

Traffic Violations That Cause Motorcycle Crashes
Negligent drivers often cause motorcycle crashes by violating Florida traffic laws. Under Florida law, violating a traffic safety rule can serve as a legal shortcut for proving negligence — "negligence per se." That means if another driver broke the law and caused your crash, proving fault becomes significantly easier.
Common violations our attorneys encounter in Boca Raton motorcycle cases include:
- Illegal left turns — failure to yield right of way
- Tailgating — following too closely for conditions
- Running red lights and stop signs
- Speeding or driving too fast for conditions
- Texting or phone use while driving
- Unsafe or improper lane changes
- Drunk or impaired driving — DUI violations
- Failure to check blind spots before merging
- Improper passing of a motorcycle
- Opening car doors into a rider's path ("dooring")
Helmet law in Florida: Riders age 21+ who carry at least $10,000 in medical insurance may legally ride without a helmet. However, insurance companies frequently argue that not wearing a helmet contributed to head injuries. Our attorneys anticipate and counter these arguments to protect your full recovery.
Negligence Per Se — Your Legal Shortcut
Boca Raton Motorcycle Accident Statistics
Data from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles shows the scale of the motorcycle safety crisis in Palm Beach County.
| Year | Total Crashes | Injuries | Deaths | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2018 | 450 | 351 | 28 | 78% injury rate — highest 4-year period |
| 2019 | 410 | 339 | 23 | 82.7% injury rate — slight crash reduction |
| 2020 | 376 | 296 | 29 | Fewer crashes but highest fatality rate (7.7%) |
| 2021 | 385 | 316 | 25 | Post-pandemic rebound in crash rates |
What these numbers mean for you: On average, 80% of motorcycle crashes cause injuries, and the fatality rate averages 6.5% annually — dramatically higher than for car occupants. These are not minor fender-benders. They are catastrophic crashes that require experienced legal representation from day one.
Challenging Insurance Companies After a Motorcycle Crash
Insurance carriers deploy the same playbook against motorcycle riders: blame the biker, minimize the claim, delay the payment. Our attorneys level the playing field.
Counter Biker Stereotypes
Insurers and sometimes jurors harbor bias against riders. We proactively present evidence that counters these narratives — your record, gear usage, experience, and the negligence of the at-fault driver.
Push Claims Forward
Delay is a tactic. Insurers know that financial pressure leads victims to accept less. We keep your claim moving and use legal process to force timely responses.
Evaluate Settlement Offers Fairly
We review every offer against the full value of your claim — current and future medical costs, income loss, and non-economic damages. Lowball offers get rejected and negotiated aggressively.
Protect You From Harmful Documents
Insurers send releases and settlement agreements that sign away more rights than victims realize. We review every document before you sign anything — protecting your future claims.
