Motorcycle Accident Lawyers

When it comes to riding a motorcycle, a rider must take extra precautions. Because motorcyclists face more risks than drivers and are less visibly seen by others, one must take precaution. The following are statistics regarding motorcycle accidents.

Statistics involving motorcycle accident fatalities:

  • More Arkansas motorcycle accident deaths occurred on rural roads
  • More than 80% of deaths by motorcycle crashes occurred on non-highway roads
  • Half of the fatalities involved a turn on a curve
  • Undivided roadways account for a large amount of the fatalities
  • The most deadly injuries to the motorcyclist involved the head and chest

Other motorcycle statistics:

  • Two-thirds of motorcycle accidents involving another vehicle was the fault of the car
  • A driver’s inability to see a motorcyclist is the leading cause of motorcycle crashes
  • Intersections are the most common place for a Arkansas motorcycle accident
  • The average crash speed of the motorcycle was 21.5 mph
  • The typical motorcycle accident allows the motorcyclist less than 2 seconds to attempt to avoid the crash
  • 45% of motorcycle collisions cause more than just a minor injury
  • 60% of motorcyclists were not wearing helmets during an accident
  • Using a helmet is the single critical factor in the prevention of a head injury
