Isaac Heath Identified As Man Killed In Florida Motorcycle Accident

The man, Isaac Heath, 33, was traveling west on Adamo Drive, making a right to head north on US 301. The slick roads may have been a major factor as a Toyota Camry hit the motorcycle and Heath was killed after losing control. Police confirmed he was not wearing a helmet.
Since motorcycle crashes often end in serious injuries, victims need immediate help

Motorcycle accidents are more likely to end in serious injuries or death for the motorcyclist, since the rider is not protected from the force of a collision. When a motorcycle accident happens, the injured rider needs immediate, appropriate medical care, the accident needs to be investigated, and the insurance companies need to be informed.

When a motorcycle crash is caused by negligence, additional steps need to be taken to protect the legal rights of the injured motorcyclist or the family members of someone killed in a motorcycle crash. Go here to learn more about motorcycle accidents and claims.
