Motorcycle Crash Statistics

Riders of motorcycles are more vulnerable to injury or death on the road than those in automobiles because of the lack of safety features that motorcycles provide their occupants.

In 2019, there were 5,014 people killed on motorcycles, making up 14% of all traffic fatalities that year. Approximately 84,000 people were injured in motorcycle accidents in the United States last year.

California has the highest number of motorcycle registrations in the country, with over 800,000 motorcycles registered there. Fifteen thousand of these are state-owned, while the remaining 785 thousand are registered to private individuals or businesses.

According to California’s Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System, more than 11,780 injuries and 480 fatalities among the state’s motorcycle riders in 2013.

Helmets can save lives. The NHTSA estimates that in 2017, motorcycle helmets saved the lives of 1,872 people. A helmet would have saved the lives of 749 people if every motorcycle rider had worn one. A helmet is thought to have saved the lives of 37 out of every 100 motorcycle riders who were killed in collisions.
