Even when no one is killed, motorcycle accidents can significantly negatively impact the health and well-being of victims.

Since the early 1980s, the number of motorcycle fatalities had been dropping, but starting in 1998, they began to rise and remained constant until 2008.

According to the latest statistics, there were 79,000 injuries and 5,115 fatalities related to motorcycle accidents in 2019. Only 0.6% of all vehicle miles in the US are driven on motorcycles, while only 3% of registered cars are motorcycles.
