Motorcycle Crash Statistics

Riders on motorcycles are more susceptible to road hazards than passengers in private vehicles. The rider of the motorcycle almost always sustains worse injuries in collisions with passenger vehicles.

The advantages of seatbelts and airbags are unavailable to motorcycle riders as they are to car passengers. Additionally, the rider’s body is not shielded from the force of the collision by the steel frame of a car.

Statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) show that motorcycle riders have a 16 times higher risk of injury and 35 times higher risk of death than passengers in a car.

In most motorcycle accidents, the road, another car, a tree, or other deadly forces bear the full force of the collision.

They frequently suffer crippling, life-altering permanent injuries as a result.

The number of motorcycle-related fatalities and injuries is increasing across the nation. Additionally, 8.7 million motorcycles were registered in the nation in 2017. 5,014 people lost their lives in motorcycle accidents in 2019.

NHTSA estimates that motorcycle helmets saved 1,872 people’s lives in 2017. If every motorcyclist had been protected at the time of the collision by a helmet, another 749 lives might have been spared. Helmets can reduce the risk of fatalities on motorcycles by 37% and for motorcycle passengers by 41%.
