Experts say divided highways are statistically safer than other roads. However, traffic often travels at high speeds and makes frequent lane changes, putting motorcyclists in danger. Drivers are commonly distracted and careless when changing lanes. This distraction can cause the driver to merge into a motorcycle traveling in another lane, or in other words, “crowding” the motorcycle.

Motorcyclists have a legal right to occupy a full traffic lane. When motorists ignore this by attempting to pass or share a single lane, they put motorcyclists in jeopardy of an accident. If motorcyclists are in an accident with other vehicles, motorcyclists usually suffer the worst consequences.

Injuries to motorcyclists when they are in crowding accidents can be catastrophic and devastating not only to the rider, but also to his/her family and friends. There are special laws and protections that apply to motorcycle cases in Florida. They were established to enable injured parties to recover damages for such things as:

• Long and short-term medical care expenses
• Lost wages
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of the enjoyment of life
