It depends. As per Florida statute 316.211, no person is allowed to operate or ride a motorcycle without a helmet. However, your failure to wear a helmet doesn’t absolve the at-fault party of responsibility. You may still be able to recover damages even if you were not wearing protective headgear. This is often the case, particularly if the injured part is not your head.
Because Florida uses the pure comparative negligence system, you may still be able to recover damages that are proportionate to your fault. For instance, if the court establishes that you were 20% responsible for not wearing protective headgear and that the other party was 80% to blame, the damages you recover would be reduced by 20 percent.
