Florida Motorcycle Accidents
In 2022, over 6,000 motorcyclists lost their lives in crashes across the United States, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Tragically, Florida accounted for more than 600 of those fatalities. Motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable in accidents, with many sustaining serious, life-altering injuries or even dying from the collision. A leading cause of these accidents is drivers who fail to yield to motorcyclists, often due to distractions like texting, talking on the phone, or daydreaming behind the wheel.
Distracted driving is one of the biggest threats on the road today, responsible for more than 400,000 traffic accidents annually in the U.S. In Florida, it’s noteworthy that 97% of motorcycle accidents occur in clear weather conditions, which indicates that the risk for motorcyclists is ever-present, regardless of the forecast.
When a motorcycle accident happens, it can leave victims and their families overwhelmed, physically and emotionally drained, and struggling with financial challenges. If you’ve lost a loved one in a tragic crash, navigating the aftermath can feel insurmountable.
