Deadly accidents take place multiple times per day in Florida. Motorcycle riders are at increased risk of being killed or injured in crashes with much larger vehicles. In many cases, the motorcyclist is simply an innocent victim who tragically loses their lives as the result of some form of negligent driving by the other driver.
