Boca Raton Driving Without a License Attorney for Motorcycle Accidents

Everyone knows you need a license to drive a car or ride a motorcycle. Unfortunately, just like the speed limit, not everyone follows Florida’s license law. As a result, accidents involving unlicensed drivers and riders are not uncommon, and riders injured in these accidents often find themselves in need of a Boca Raton driving without a license attorney.

People drive and ride without a license for two main reasons—either (i) they couldn’t get a license, or (ii) they lost their license after getting arrested or accumulating too many points. In both scenarios, unlicensed drivers and riders are likely to be more dangerous than their licensed counterparts, and when they are involved in accidents, they are more likely to be responsible. If you were seriously injured or a loved one was killed in a motorcycle accident involving an unlicensed driver or rider, our attorneys can help. We can collect the evidence needed to prove liability, and we can fight to recover the full financial compensation you deserve.

Many Unlicensed Drivers and Riders are Also Uninsured

An unfortunate reality is that many unlicensed drivers and riders are also uninsured. But even in situations involving uninsured drivers and riders, injured riders and their families can still recover financial compensation in many cases. Riders’ uninsured motorist (UM) policies apply in this situation (if they have coverage), and, depending on the circumstances, riders and their families may also have claims against vehicle manufacturers, motorcycle manufacturers, helmet manufacturers, government agencies and other third parties.

Of course, it is important not to assume that an unlicensed driver or rider is also uninsured. Drivers who lost their license may still have insurance, and unlicensed teen drivers may be covered under their parents’ insurance policies. There are other possibilities as well. When you choose our firm to represent you, an experienced Boca Raton driving without a license attorney will examine all options for recovering just compensation on your behalf.

Protecting Your Rights After a Motorcycle Accident Involving an Unlicensed Driver or Rider

As with any type of serious or fatal motorcycle accident, after an accident involving an unlicensed driver or rider, there are some steps you should try to take as soon as possible. These steps include:

• Report your motorcycle accident to the police.  
• Record as much information as possible about the unlicensed driver’s or rider’s vehicle or motorcycle.
• Record as many details about the accident as you can remember.
• Be sure to keep any photos or videos you have from the accident scene.
• Hire an attorney to investigate the accident, assess your options and fight for just compensation.
