Motorcyclists in Florida are at risk of death or serious injury each time they go out for a ride. Although motorcycles account for less than 5% of all registered motor vehicles in our state, they also account for near 15% of all reported traffic fatalities. Additionally, motorcycle crashes have a very high rate of injury with more than 80% of these accidents resulting in some type of injuries for the motorcyclist. Other drivers are often the cause of Florida motorcycle accidents when they drive recklessly or fail to observe motorcyclists on the roadway.
