MOTORCYCLISTS FACE A HIGHER RISK OF LOSS
A motorcycle crash is a complex event involving the interaction of human, vehicle, and environmental factors. While there is no "typical" motorcycle accident, what is "typical" is that a motorcycle crash is a violent event.
More than 80 percent of all reported motorcycle accidents result in serious injury or death to the motorcyclist.
Why Motorcycle Accidents Result In More Injuries
- The motorcycle itself provides no head injury protection to the rider or passenger.
- Ejection from the motorcycle is a common injury pathway.
- If a motorcycle comes to a sudden stop and the rider is ejected from the motorcycle, the rider will forcibly strike objects in the path as well as the ground.
Why Motorcycle Accidents Are More Serious & More Expensive
Motorcycle injuries are more expensive because they tend to be more serious and have much longer rehabilitation periods. For example, according to comprehensive insurance industry data shows that...
- 23% of motorcycle claimants have injuries in multiple locations;
- 18% suffer head injuries with permanent disability;
- 10% of claimants have injuries to the back or spine. Some of these result in permanent paraplegia or quadriplegia.
This means that 50% of motorcycle accident claimants have the sort of life-threatening injuries from which some never recover.
