Motorcycle accidents in Florida are very dangerous and devastating events. Last year, more than 500 motorcyclists were killed when they were involved in crashes on Florida's roadways. While motorcycles make up about 3% of all registered motor vehicles in Florida, motorcycle crashes account for approximately 15% of all traffic deaths. Both motorcyclists and other drivers should remember to always remain vigilant and follow all traffic safety laws in order to avoid a catastrophic accident from occurring.
