Facts About California’s Motorcycle Crashes

80% of people who are involved in a motorcycle accident will experience injuries, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report. Death or serious disability will result from these crashes.

For comparison, consider the NHTSA’s statistic that only 20% of people in cars will sustain serious injury or death in an accident, and it’s clear that motorcyclists are in more danger on the road than other vehicles.

Motorcyclists are more susceptible to injury accidents than any other vehicles. Their smaller size and lack of a protective external body are just two reasons why motorcyclists are more likely to suffer in an accident than those in cars.
