Can I still file a claim if the insurance company blames me for lane-splitting?
Yes, you may still have a viable claim. While Fla. Stat. § 316.209 prohibits operating a motorcycle between lanes of traffic or adjacent lines of vehicles, being cited for lane-splitting does not automatically bar you from recovering compensation. Under Florida's comparative fault system (Fla. Stat. § 768.81), liability can be shared among multiple parties. The Altman Law Firm regularly represents riders facing comparative negligence defenses. Jeffrey S. Altman can review the details of your crash to build a strong case, helping to establish the other driver's share of liability.
