Our thoughts and condolences go out to all affected by this tragic motorcycle crash.
Florida motorcycle accidents tend to be very severe and catastrophic events. Current statistics show that about 80% of these crashes result in injury to riders while about 5% will result in deaths. The rate of death and serious injury in motorcycle accidents compared to other types of crashes is very high. Victims of motorcycle crashes are often not at fault for their injuries and are simply injured as a result of negligent driving behavior.
