Florida motorcycle accidents can cause catastrophic and life-altering injuries in a matter of seconds. While motorcycles account for only about 3% of all motor vehicles in our state, they make up approximately 15% of all reported traffic fatalities. Unfortunately, many motorcyclists who lose their lives are killed due to the negligence of other motorists.
