   Associates and Bruce L. Scheiner has spent decades promoting the rights of bikers on the street and fighting for their rights in the courtroom.

   We believe Florida is the greatest place in America to ride a motorcycle but we also know bikers are too often injured or killed by the carelessness and negligence of other drivers. Each year, Associates and Bruce L. Scheiner Personal Injury Lawyers accepts the responsibility of representing dozens of people whose lives have been impacted by a serious motorcycle crash.

   Florida’s 461,935 registered motorcycles ranks second only to California’s 626,529 bikes as the biggest and busiest biking state in the nation, according to recent statistics compiled by the U.S. Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.

   With only half as many people calling Florida home, that puts a greater percentage of bikes on our roads than anywhere in America.

   And, unfortunately, serious and fatal motorcycle accidents are on the rise: Increased congestion and roadwork, combined with tourists and vacationers unfamiliar with area roads and an influx of new residents, have nearly doubled Florida motorcycle fatalities in just a few short years – from 274 in 2002 to 521 in 2006, according to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.

   In fact, Florida motorcycle deaths and injuries have increased sharply in each of the last eight years – deaths from 156 to 521 and injuries from 3,969 to 7,934.

   With Bruce L. Scheiner, you will find an attorney who has handled hundreds of motorcycle cases since 1971 and remains an avid motorcycle enthusiast and supporter of motorcycle rights.

   Our firm handles dozens of such cases each year and understands the devastation motorcycle accidents can cause.

• In 2008, the firm secured $5.1 million for a young man who suffered life-altering injuries after he slid beneath a truck on his motorcycle after it pulled out in front of him in Cape Coral.


• In 2007 the firm secured $5 million for a man who had a below the knee amputation after a Lincoln Town Car pulled in front of his motorcycle near Bonita Springs.

   Those are just a few examples of significant cases the firm has handled recently and are not representative of all cases and may not reflect the value of your claim. Each case is different and the value of each claim is based on a wide range of factors that you should discuss with your attorney.

    At Associates and Bruce L. Scheiner, you will find a firm that is as dedicated to the fight to prevent motorcycle accidents as it is to vigorously representing the rights of those who have been injured or killed in such tragedies.

• Associates and Bruce L. Scheiner operates and maintains www.flbikers.com, a website dedicated to biker safety, news and events, forums, stories, technical articles, calendars and other information and advise of interest to Southwest Florida motorcycle enthusiasts.


• The firm sponsors numerous area bike nights and bike events where it distributes safety information and giveaways designed to promote motorcycle safety and driver and rider education.


• The firm’s theme, “Whatever you ride, ride safe” has appeared on dozens of billboards in five Southwest Florida counties.


• Since 1994, Associates and Bruce L. Scheiner has sponsored its own Motorcycle Awareness Program and provided “safety packets,” a listing of motorcycle safety courses, brochures on safe riding and motorcycle road atlases and other material to bikers and riding enthusiasts.


• Associates and Bruce L. Scheiner teams with the Southwest Florida Chapter of American Bikers Aimed Toward Education to promote motorcycle safety awareness and works to promote a number of charitable and worthwhile causes.
