Osceola County Motorcycle Accident Lawyer | Rider Defense

Osceola County offers some of the best riding in Central Florida, from the long stretches of Nova Road in St. Cloud to the scenic routes near Lake Toho. But with the influx of distracted tourists on US 192 and aggressive commuters on the Turnpike, riders are constantly in the crosshairs. Drivers “look right through” motorcycles, and when they make a sudden left turn, it’s the rider who pays the price.

At Juan Burgos Law, we stand with the riding community. We know the bias you face from police and insurance adjusters who automatically assume “the biker was speeding.” We fight to tell the true story of your crash and secure the compensation you need to recover and ride again.

The “No PIP” Trap for Florida Riders

This is the most important thing you need to know: unlike car accidents, Florida’s “No-Fault” (PIP) insurance does not apply to motorcycles.
This means you do not have that automatic $10,000 for medical bills. If you go to the ER, you are responsible for the bill immediately unless we force the at-fault driver’s insurance to pay. You cannot afford to wait; you need legal pressure from Day One.

High-Risk Riding Zones in Osceola

We investigate crashes across the county, but these areas are particularly dangerous for bikers:

1. US 192 (The Tourist Corridor)

Tourists in rental vans are looking at GPS maps, not checking their blind spots. Sudden U-turns and lane changes are common here. We handle cases where riders are side-swiped or cut off by confused visitors.

2. Narcoossee Road & Boggy Creek

As traffic density explodes in Lake Nona and St. Cloud, these once-quiet roads are now deadly. Speeding construction trucks and commuter traffic lead to severe rear-end collisions for riders stopped at lights.

3. Rural Roads (Nova Rd / Canoe Creek)

On the outskirts of St. Cloud, open roads invite riding, but they also hide dangers like loose gravel, agricultural vehicles entering the road, and wildlife. If a road defect or negligent driver caused you to lay your bike down, we investigate.

Fighting “Biker Bias”

Insurance adjusters love to paint riders as reckless outlaws.
We fight back with facts. We look at the skid marks, the damage to your bike, and traffic camera footage to prove you were riding responsibly. If you were wearing a helmet and protective gear, we use that to show the jury you take safety seriously, dismantling the insurance company’s narrative.

Frequently Asked Questions

I wasn’t wearing a helmet. Do I still have a case?

Yes. If you are over 21 and carry sufficient insurance, riding without a helmet is legal in Florida. However, the insurance company will argue your injuries are your fault. We know how to counter this, especially if your injuries (like a broken leg or road rash) would have happened even with a helmet.

The driver says they “didn’t see me.” Is that a defense?

No. “Failure to see” is negligence, plain and simple. Drivers have a duty to look for all vehicles, not just cars. We hold them accountable for failing to yield to your Right of Way.
