Lilly, O'Toole & Brown BlogMotorcycle Helmet Law Gone for 8 Years
On July 1, 2000 the Florida Legislature repealed a 33 year old motorcycle helmet law in Florida.Since that time anyone 21 or older with at least $10,000 in personal injury insurance has had the option of not wearing a helmet while driving a motorcycle. While the issue has been debated before and since then, some things don’t change. People will be involved in crashes while riding a motorcycle. People will get hurt in those crashes. And generally, with or without a helmet, the injuries will be more severe than if the people were riding in a car with all the attendant safety apparatus.
Car drivers need to be especially careful to pay attention to motorcycles. What may be a simple fender bender if you hit another car can be disastrous when you hit that person.
