In 2012, there were around 8.5 million lawfully registered motorbikes on US highways, according to the US Department of Transportation. Motorcycles appeal to a wide spectrum of people for the excitement and freedom they bring and their portability, and lower prices.

When there is a motorcycle involved, the effects can be fatal. In 2016, there were 5,286 motorcycle fatalities in the United States.

A motorcycle collision is far more likely due to riders’ lack of visibility, stability, and protection than other vehicles. Furthermore, motorcycle accidents are frequently significantly more dangerous than other road accidents, resulting in paralysis and, in some cases, death.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), motorcycle riders are 16 times more likely to be injured and 35 times more likely to be killed in a crash than automobile passengers, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

Motorcycle accidents are frequently caused by distracted driving, speeding, drunk driving, reckless driving, bad weather, wrong-way driving, and failure to follow traffic laws.
