1. Medical Bills
If someone’s negligence caused your injury while you were on a moped in Florida, the classification of your moped as either a bicycle or a self propelled vehicle under Florida law will determine who is responsible for paying your medical bills.
If your moped is considered a bicycle, then we will make a claim with the proper PIP insurer if one exists. A moped is more likely to be considered a bicycle it if can be propelled by human power.
If your moped is a considered a self-propelled vehicle, then we will make a claim to get your medical bills paid against the responsible parties.
A Miami-Dade circuit court, in an appeal, said that a Yamaha Elite 125 cc scooter is a self propelled vehicle and not a scooter. Atlantic Employers Insurance Company v. Omayra Olivo 7 Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 251a (Fla. 11th Jud. Cir. (Appeals) 2000).
Below are just a few of our settlements that more than paid for our client’s medical bills and much more.
