Florida has beautiful weather and vistas which is why our state draws many motorcycle enthusiasts. Florida has more than half a million registered motorcycles, the most of any state in the U.S. With so many motorcycles on the roads and highways, other motor vehicles must always be prepared to encounter one or more motorcycles in their travels and share the road responsibly.

“A motorcycle’s small size and lack of driver protection can cause catastrophic injuries, even tragic death when it is involved in an accident with another vehicle. Most motorcycle crashes are the fault of the other driver, not the motorcycle operator," says Fort Myers Motorcycle Accident Attorney Randall Spivey of Spivey Law Firm, Personal Injury Attorneys, P.A. 

Lee, Collier, and Charlotte Counties had an annual average of 26 motorcyclist fatalities and 338 injuries. The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) reported in its 2019 annual report:

• Motorcyclist fatalities – 521
• Motorcyclist incapacitating injuries – 1,885
• Motorcyclist other injuries – 5,200
• Motorcycle passenger fatalities – 29
• Motorcycle passenger incapacitating injuries – 187
• Motorcycle passenger other injuries – 447

When motorcyclists are injured in an accident, their lives change. The injuries they incur may include traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and thorax injuries, in addition to broken bones, sprains, and other internal injuries.

Victims may be entitled to compensation for their injuries, including:

• Pain and suffering
• Long and short-term medical care
• Lost wages
• Loss of enjoyment of life
