Fatal Motorcycle Crash Statistics

Motorcyclists are involved in 11% of all road incidents in the United States, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). There were 82,000 motorcycle injuries and 4,985 motorcycle fatalities in 2018.

Because motorcycles lack the same structural protection as cars or other vehicles, they are frequently seriously damaged in traffic accidents. Riding a motorcycle provides no cushion for the rider to absorb the force of a crash, as a driver in a passenger car would.

Motorcycle riders usually suffer from debilitating and sometimes even fatal injuries. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), motorcycle riders have 16 times the chance of injury and 35 times the risk of dying in a traffic crash.

Helmets can help you avoid major head injuries. Helmets are 37% effective in preventing motorcycle accidents. The remainder of their bodies, however, may still be vulnerable.

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