Your new motorcycle may be your pride and joy and you can’t wait to show her off. But before you take off into the sunset, you have to make sure that you have the right coverage and that you have the correct underwriting for it.

Even if you don’t have insurance, you can file a personal injury claim if the other party is at fault. In fact, your insurance company may not even come into play, since the at-fault driver’s insurance often will be the one to pay for your damages. Some of these damages include property, medical, and lost wages.

Texting while driving is classified as a form of distracted driving. In recent years, many accidents have occurred due to drivers being distracted while texting. As of October 1st, a new law has gone into effect in the state of Florida prohibiting texting while driving. While well intentioned, this new law is rather limited. Distracted driving is considered a “secondary offense”, which means that a driver cannot be stopped for a moving violation, but could be ticketed for texting if stopped for a different infraction, such as speeding and the officer observed the texting or the driver admits to it.
