Fatal Motorcycle Accident Statistics

Accidents involving motorcycles are particularly tragic because the rider faces a greater risk of injury or death than the other driver. Because of their increased sensitivity to collisions, motorcycle riders are more likely to suffer catastrophic and fatal injuries than other road users.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), motorcyclists are 16 times more likely to be injured or killed in an accident than passengers in enclosed vehicles.

Motorcycles are involved in 11 percent of all U.S. traffic accidents. Over the course of the year, the U.S. saw nearly 5,000 fatalities and 82,000 injuries caused by motorcycles.

A helmet has been proven to save lives by protecting riders from life-threatening injuries and keeping them safe and sound. According to the Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), nearly half of all motorcycle deaths can be prevented by wearing a helmet.

The area below the collarbone serves as a means of protecting your head, which means that a severe bodily injury can be just as crucial as a head injury. Several motorcycle safety devices can help you avoid major injuries.
