Florida motorcycle accidents account for a significant number of traffic deaths each year. While motorcycles make up less than 5% of all registered motor vehicles, motorcycle fatalities account for about 15% of all fatal crashes in Florida. Motorcycles are enjoyed by many but they also have serious risks for riders. Negligent drivers on our roadways only compound this risk and are often the cause of serious and fatal accidents.
