"I know what you're going through because I've been on both sides of the desk – as a lawyer and as a client. In May of 1974 at the intersection of US 41 and Cortez Road in Bradenton, a car ran a red light and hit me broadside. Unfortunately, I was riding a motorcycle. I lost the big toe on my right foot, and my ankle was fused. I endured over a dozen surgeries and was in a cast for over a year. I know something about pain and suffering. I felt the insurance company was less than fair with me, and I have made it my life's mission to protect others from the unfair tactics used by insurance companies."

Most riders who walk away from a crash with road rash underestimate what that injury is actually worth. They assume "scrapes" don't rise to the level of a lawsuit. They take the first offer. […]
Road rash takes anywhere from one week to more than a year to heal — and where you fall on that range depends entirely on how deep the wound goes. Most people hear "road rash" and picture a scraped knee. What they don't picture is asphalt grinding through three layers of skin at 45 miles […]
Nobody is ready for that phone call. One moment your life is normal. The next, someone is telling you there's been an accident — and they're gone. If your family member was killed in a motorcycle crash, you're dealing with shock, grief, and decisions you never expected to face this week. And underneath all of […]
No. And that surprises a lot of riders. Lane splitting is illegal in Florida, but that doesn't automatically make you the at-fault party. It doesn't end your claim. It doesn't mean you walk away empty-handed. Florida uses a comparative fault system. The question isn't only what you did — it's what everyone did. If a […]
