Motorcycle Crash Statistics

The Insurance Information Institute recently revealed some disturbing figures regarding the severity of motorcycle accidents in the United States. Approximately 5,000 individuals were killed in motorcycle accidents in 2018.

So, what is it about riding a motorcycle that makes it so dangerous? Several factors cause this alarmingly high fatality rate. The primary problem is a lack of protection.

Despite a 5% decrease from 2017, motorcycle riders were still 27 times more likely to die in a car accident than passenger vehicle occupants per mile traveled.

Motorcycle riders are regularly injured in accidents, suffering from road rash, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and bone fractures.

Distracted driving, speeding, drunk driving, reckless driving, bad weather, wrong-way driving, and failing to respect traffic laws are common causes of motorcycle accidents.
