We’ll Defend Your Rights so You Can Recover
There’s nothing like riding a motorcycle in the open air on the roads of Orange and Seminole Counties. Unfortunately, given our crowded roads, motorcycle accidents in Florida – and fatal motorcycle accidents – are on the rise.
According to Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, there were 10,331 motorcycle crashes in Florida in 2016. Sadly, 515 of those were fatal. In Orange County and Seminole County combined, there were more than 800 motorcycle crashes in 2016. Those crashes caused more than 650 injuries and, tragically, 34 deaths.
