One Fatality Is One Too Many: Lowman, Your Motorcycle Accident Lawyers In Brooksville

At Lowman Law Firm, we believe, and are sure most will agree, that one traffic-related fatality is one too many. According to Michael Bates of Hernando Today, In Hernando County, “There has been one fatality this year involving a motorcyclist. On March 11, a Pennsylvania biker was killed when he struck another vehicle that veered into his path off Shoal Line Boulevard in Hernando Beach.

In 2011, the Hernando County Sheriff's Office traffic unit worked 1,556 crashes. It is unknown how many involved motorcycles.

And that figure does not include statistics from the Florida Highway Patrol, Brooksville Police Department or sheriff's office patrol deputies.

Through last month, there have been 404 total crashes.”
