Fatal Motorcycle Crash Statistics

In 2012, there were approximately 8.5 million registered motorbikes on the road in the United States, according to records from the Department of Transportation. There are several reasons why motorcycles appeal to many people; some reasons why people prefer a motorcycle are their versatility and affordability, along with the sense of freedom and fun they bring.

Sadly, motorcycle accidents can result in devastating and even fatal effects. There were 5,286 people killed on motorcycles in the United States in 2016.

Because California has the most registered motorcycles in the country, it’s no wonder that the state also sees many vehicle accidents each year, thousands of which involve motorcycles. Five hundred forty-one people lost their lives, and 15,527 were injured in motorbike accidents in 2017.

Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is one of the most common causes of motorcycle accidents. Other common causes include distracted driving, speeding, and adverse weather.
