Riding a motorcycle is the most dangerous and deadly means of transportation in Florida. Annually, around 500 motorcyclists are killed in crashes on our roadways and approximately 8,000 more will suffer injuries. Even if a motorcycle accident is not fatal, the injuries are often devastating and can lead to long-term medical care. Many motorcyclists are injured or killed in crashes which are not their fault.
