We wish to extend our deepest sympathies to all who have suffered losses as a result of this tragic Flagler County motorcycle accident.
Florida motorcycle accidents are generally very serious in nature. A motorcycle is not built to withstand the force of a collision with objects or other vehicles. Often, riders are thrown from the bike following the crash, increasing the potential for a catastrophic result. The rate of death and serious injuries stemming from motorcycle crashes is far higher than crashes involving standard and larger sized vehicles.
