Motorcycle Accident Statistics

Motorcycle accidents often result in severe injury and death. Motorcycle riders are more vulnerable to sustaining severe injury compared to passengers of private vehicles. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), motorcyclists were more likely to die in traffic accidents than private vehicle passengers in 2018.

Some of the common factors why motorcycle accidents occur are distracted driving, speeding, drunk driving, reckless driving, bad weather, wrong-way driving, and failure to observe traffic laws. Motorcycle riders are encouraged to dress appropriately and wear a helmet every time they ride their motorcycle to prevent catastrophic injuries. Wearing helmets were estimated to be 37% effective in preventing motorcycle deaths.

Aside from physical injuries, motorcyclists can also sustain damages such as emotional scarring and expensive property damage. While nothing can reverse the damage incurred in a motorcycle accident, the civil courts offer a financial remedy to injured parties. After a motorcycle crash, speak to an experienced injury attorney immediately.
