Motorcycle accidents are often deadly. Over 6,000 people lose their lives in the United States each year due to a motorcycle crash, and about 125,000 motorcyclists are seriously injured. These statistics are frightening to consider, particularly because the number of motorcycles on the road and the number of accidents tends to increase each year. There are many reasons for the rise in motorcycle accidents and negligent motor vehicle drivers may be a contributing factor. Time and time again the common excuse given by a motor vehicle driver is that they did not see the motorcyclist at all.
The following are common causes of motorcycle accidents in Florida:
