Florida motorcycle crashes account for about 15% of all fatal accidents in our state. This is despite the fact that motorcycles account for only about 3% of all registered motor vehicles. A Florida motorcycle crash can be, and often is, a very devastating event for both the victim and their families. In many cases, drivers are responsible for the crash occurring due to some type of negligent or careless driving behavior.
We wish to extend our condolences to the friends and family of Joshua Carver.
