Fatal Motorcycle Accident Statistics

Motorcycle riders are more vulnerable to injuries and fatalities due to the lack of safety features like seatbelts and airbags that car passengers enjoy. Accidents involving motorcycles can result in serious injuries or even death. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration statistics show that in 2016, there were 5,286 fatal motorcycle accidents in the United States.

Unfortunately, Los Angeles is not a safe place to ride a motorcycle. In 2020, more than 2800 motorcycle accidents in Los Angeles resulted in 117 deaths and 3131 injuries. Severe head injuries can be minimized by wearing a helmet.

The use of a motorcycle helmet reduced fatalities by 37%, according to the study. It’s possible that even with this protection, the rest of their bodies are still in danger. Some common causes of motorcycle accidents are careless driving, speeding, intoxicated driving, reckless driving, bad weather, wrong-way driving, and failure to obey traffic laws.
