How Can A Daytona Beach, Florida Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Help Me After a Crash?
Like all drivers, motorcyclists in Florida have the full legal right to operate their vehicles on public roads, including highways. Florida law explicitly states that motorcyclists must be granted all rights of other vehicle operators. See Fla. Stat. § 316.208
Yet despite having the same legal protections, motorcyclists are far more likely to suffer severe injuries or death in a crash. According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV), an estimated 11,000+ motorcycle crashes occurred in 2025, resulting in over 550 deaths—marking a continued upward trend in fatalities. (Note: 2025 data expected late Q1 2026; this estimate is based on current projections and year-over-year increases)
If you were injured in a motorcycle accident or if your loved one was a victim of a fatal motorcycle crash, you may have legal rights in Florida.
The experienced Daytona Beach motorcycle accident lawyers at The Law Offices of Carolina Nunez, P.A. are here to fight for you so that you can recover the maximum possible compensation for your losses after a Florida motorcycle accident.
