Motorcycle Accidents

The NTSB is concerned about motorcycle safety and the growing number of riders who have been killed or injured.  Since 1997, the number of fatalities has increased 127%, an increase that far exceeds that of any other form of transportation.
The fact is that over seventy-five percent of all multi-vehicle accidents involving motorcyclists are not the motorcyclist's fault. Injuries caused by motorcycle accidents are, more often than not, the result of an inattentive vehicle driver who doesn't see the motorcycle and either turns in front of it or follows too closely and runs into the back of the bike.  Approximately one-fourth of all motorcycle accidents involve only the bike, which collides with the roadway or some fixed object in the area.

Because of the greater risks involved with a bike’s operation, motorcyclists and their passengers are far more likely to suffer serious injury or death than the occupant of a car. This may create even greater difficulties for motorcyclists and passengers due to longer recovery times and much higher medical bills. In addition, motorcycle insurance policies will typically only provide very modest levels of medical and uninsured motorist coverage.
