Why Motorcyclists Are at a Disadvantage on the Road

Throughout the U.S., more than 6,000,000 people have traded in their cars for the more exciting alternative of a motorcycle, and surprisingly, this figure does not even account for the numerous others who prefer to ride as a passenger. That being said, it can be assumed that there are upwards of 7,000,000 people who regularly enjoy the open road on the back of a motorcycle. Whether out of leisure or convenience, many people have found that making their way around town on a motorcycle is a more enjoyable experience. While this may be true, it is also important to understand that riders are susceptible to a devastatingly high risk of injury—when compared to their much safer counterparts.

In fact, the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has reported that motorcyclists are 35 times more likely to be involved in a fatal traffic accident than those who drive passenger cars or trucks. This, in turn, has led to a disproportionately high number of motorcycle accidents in the country—with nearly 88,000 riders being injured annually, and another 5,000 suffering fatal trauma. Although it is no surprise that wearing a helmet can significantly reduce a motorcyclist's chances of being killed in a wreck, this minimal layer of protection is usually not enough. When a motorcyclist collides with a much larger vehicle, they stand little to no chance of shielding themselves from injury.

Types of Motorcycle Accident Injuries

Catastrophic injuries are quite common in motorcycle accident cases.

Since motorcyclists have very little protection in a collision, they often suffer from:

• Brain Injury
• Broken Bones
• Neck and Back Injuries
• Road Rash
• Spinal Cord Injuries
