Motorcycle Accidents in Florida
Florida sees a high number of motorcycle accidents, particularly in urban areas like Miami, where heavy traffic and reckless driving contribute to fatal collisions. Intersections are among the most dangerous places for motorcyclists, as crashes caused by speeding, red-light running, and driver negligence can have devastating consequences.
Unlike car occupants, motorcyclists lack the physical protection of a vehicle, making them more vulnerable to severe or fatal injuries in a crash. When reckless or criminal behavior—such as driving a stolen vehicle—leads to a fatal accident, victims’ families may have legal options to seek justice and compensation.
