A Florida motorcycle crash can be a life-changing event. Although motorcycles account for only about 3% of all registered motor vehicles in Florida, they also account for approximately 15% of all reported traffic fatalities. This shocking statistic indicates just how dangerous a Florida motorcycle accident can be. Many who survive will end up being seriously hurt and their injuries will require them to undergo costly and extensive medical treatment.
We extend our condolences to the family of Din Michael Vicaino during this very difficult time.
