Florida. My friend was in a motorcycle accident thanksgiving day and does not remember the days events. He has been a motorcycle driver for over 17 years and is a very good driver. The girl that was a passenger had never been on a bike before. This bike was a sports bike with high foot pegs. She wore sandals! All we can figure from looking at the bike and the injuries is that she did not lean with the rider and put her foot down thinking she would fall. This would have thrown the bike off balance and into the curb of the road. You could see the marks in the curb where the peg drug for a while when he was trying to get the bike back under control. Then the front tire blew and the bike flipped. There is no helmet law in Florida so neither of them had on helmets. He was on life support for 24 hours and now has head trauma problems over a month later. She had road burns over her body pretty bad put is up partying in the bars. She got a attorney and is trying to sue for her injuries caused by carelessness. Can she sue the driver of the bike for her injuries or is she responsible for getting on the bike with no gear to protect herself? Florida.
