Florida Motorcycle Accidents
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that there were more than 6,000 deaths related to motorcycle accidents in the United States in 2022. In Florida alone, more than 600 motorcyclists were killed that same year. Motorcyclists are at high risk of sustaining severe injuries or even dying in traffic accidents due to traveling with little protection. Regrettably, most motorcycle crashes on American roadways today involve negligent drivers.
Statistics regarding Florida motorcycle crashes show that almost 100% of reported motorcycle accidents in the Sunshine State happen in clear weather. The point is that motorcycles are dangerous vehicles to operate, no matter what the weather is like. Negligent drivers are everywhere and cause over 90% of reported traffic accidents in the US today.
