Who’s Rubenstein Law

We’re more than lawyers for motorcycle riders. Rubenstein Law is a fixture in the Tampa bike scene. You’ve seen us at events, and know that we’re always there to support, build up, and protect the Tampa motorcycle community.

We’ve probably met at Daytona Bike week or chatted at Clay by the Bay. We’ve shared stories at BTR’s Bike Night at Duke’s or celebrated our veterans at their Great American Biker Bash or maybe we crossed paths in one of the small towns along Route 64 on our way to Charlotte’s Webb or caught up at one of the many other Tampa events we’ve sponsored that celebrate our fellow riders.

Remember, bikers look out for bikers, and Rubenstein Law looks out for you.

Our Recommendations

If you’re looking for the best motorcycle route in the Tampa Bay area, we’d recommend the open country along the North Tampa Circuit, the twists and turns along the Tail of the Gecko, or a scenic trip down Sunshine Skyway.

But before your trip, we advise riders in Hillsborough County to be aware of some common motorcycle laws, and what to do in case you’re in an accident.

After all, whether it happens in Ybor City, Brandon, or the South Shore accidents happen – even to experienced bikers.

The statute of limitations in Florida is 4 years: Legally, you have four years from the date of your accident to file a lawsuit. While this seems like a lot of time and there are some exceptions, you should not wait too long. Failure to act could hurt you down the line; witnesses are harder to find, paperwork gets lost, memories fade…
Negligence equals fault: Negligence is a breach of the standard of care that a reasonable person takes to avoid causing harm. To determine who’s at fault in a motorcycle accident, you must show that the other driver failed to act reasonably.
Loved ones can file wrongful death claims: Tragically, sometimes it’s a spouse, child, or parent, who needs help after a fatal motorcycle accident. While nothing can replace what you lost, the law gives you options. These claims have a two-year statute of limitation, but they can help families move forward.
Riders can share blame & still recover compensation: Motorcycle riders are sometimes unfairly blamed for accidents. However, there are times when both parties share responsibility. For example, if you were going too fast on Interstate 4 and the other driver was texting, you could both be in the wrong.

Florida follows the Comparative Negligence Rule. This means you can still receive compensation for an accident where both parties are to blame, but it will be reduced by your degree of fault. So, if you suffered $100,000 in damages, but shared 10% of the fault, you could recover $90,000

When We Get to Work

It’s not all bike nights, rallies, and meetups at Rubenstein Law. Unfortunately, motorcycle accidents in Tampa are a reality. We hope you never need to call, but if you or a loved one need help, we’re always available and easy to reach.

When you work with us, we will:

Get To Work Immediately: Our team starts with an independent investigation. You don’t want to rely on what the other driver’s insurance company says happened. We’ll work with the Tampa police, review your accident report, interview witnesses, examine records, and look into the background of the other driver.
Prove What Really Happened: The other side may suggest you were at fault or deny all liability. With our network of scientific experts and authorities in the field of accident reconstruction, we can pinpoint the exact cause, tie evidence to those rightfully at fault, and make sure the right person is held responsible.
Hold Insurance Companies Accountable: Insurance companies have a standard playbook when it comes to trying to avoid paying what’s fair. We know these tactics too. They may ask you questions designed so you admit fault. When we’re your attorneys, they can’t. And we’ll keep the pressure on until they agree to what’s fair.
Consider A Lawsuit: Few motorcycle accident cases go to court, but filing a lawsuit is effective. It lets the other side know you’re serious and it preserves important evidence. By filing a lawsuit in Hillsborough County’s 13th Circuit Court, we can gather the facts, present them to a judge or jury, and argue for you to get everything you are entitled to under the law.
Protect Your Interest: Whether we reach a settlement early or need to take your case to trial, Rubenstein Law will always act in your interest and keep you informed. If we think you’re best served with a settlement that meets your needs, that will be our advice. But if an insurance company refuses what’s right – we will support you and fight for you in court.
