Fatal Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents are six times more likely to result in fatalities compared to motor vehicles, according to published statistics. One major reason is that motorcycles offer virtually no protection in the event of a motorcycle accident. Many states require motorcyclists to wear helmets to protect them from serious, if not fatal, injuries in a motorcycle crash.
