Bikers love getting out on the open road for daily commutes or just some fun, but the reality is that collisions involving motorcyclists often result in serious injuries or fatalities. Some of these injuries can be downright torture, including degloving injuries which is when a biker’s skin and tissue is ripped away from their tendons, muscles, and bones. These life-threatening injuries can lead to severe blood loss, tissue death, nerve damage, and in some cases, amputation.
As the number of registered motorcycles increases in Florida, so do the number of serious accidents that involve bikers. For 2025, Florida is anticipated to have 668,046 registered motorcyclists, which is the second-highest number of registered motorcycles of any state behind California. With just 9 days into the new year, Florida has seen 10 motorcycle accidents resulting in 10 injuries, according to FLHSMV’s Crash Dashboard. In 2024, there were 9,273 motorcycle accidents in Florida that resulted in 552 deaths and another 7,985 injuries.
