Motorcycle Accident Statistics

California draws visitors and new residents who wish to experience the Golden State’s many attractions. While this improves the state’s economy, it has a detrimental influence on the state’s roadways, which are densely populated and cause a significant number of motor vehicle accidents each year.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, there were 6,756,000 police-reported motor vehicle collisions in 2019, with 1,916,000 involving injuries and 33,244 involving fatalities.

Several factors contribute to this increased risk, including the lack of protection offered by motorcycles, their smaller size, and the fact that riders are often less visible to other drivers. Motorcyclists need to be extra vigilant when sharing the road with other vehicles. They should wear bright clothing and use reflective tape to make themselves more visible. They should also avoid riding in bad weather conditions and obey all traffic laws.
