What happens to my injury claim if the accident occurred while I was lane-splitting?

Under Fla. Stat. § 316.209, lane-splitting—or operating a motorcycle between lanes of traffic or adjacent lines of vehicles—is illegal in Florida. If you were lane-splitting during an accident, the defense will likely argue you are partially or fully at fault. However, under Florida's comparative fault system (Fla. Stat. § 768.81), you may still recover a percentage of your damages if the other driver was also negligent. The Altman Law Firm works to analyze the specific details of your collision to establish the other party's shared responsibility. Jeffrey S. Altman can review your case to determine your options.
