Motorcycle Accident Statistics

Accidents involving motorcycles can be horrible. Most of the time, they cause serious injuries or even death. And because motorcycle riders don’t have much protection, they are much more likely to get into an accident than people who drive other cars.

In 2019, 474 people died while riding a motorcycle in California. Since 2015, the number of motorcycle deaths has gone down by an average of 9.4%. In 2017, 28 people died because they didn’t wear a helmet, compared to 34 in 2018.

Several things can cause a motorcycle accident. One is rider error. This includes driving too fast, weaving in and out of traffic, and changing lanes quickly. The state of the roads is another reason. Potholes, trash, and wet weather can make it harder for motorcycle riders to keep their bikes under control.

Lastly, accidents can also be caused by problems with how things work. Problems with the brakes, tires, or suspension system could be among these. If you ride a motorcycle, you should be aware of these dangers and do what you can to avoid them.
