Motorcyclists more than automobile drivers, are more likely to be seriously injured or killed in an accident. Every year an estimated 50,000 motorcyclists endure physical injuries and approximately 2,000 of those people died as the result of the injuries. According to The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration; motorcycles have a higher fatality rate per unit of distance traveled when compared too automobiles. Motorcycle riders fatalities are about 30 times greater than drivers of other vehicles. Approximately 80 percent of reported motorcycle crashes result in injury or death; a comparable figure for automobiles is about 20 percent.
Frequently, motorcycle riders do not get the same rights or respect that a car or truck gets while driving on the road. Because they are smaller and less visible than automobiles, other drivers tend to overlook them which causes a dangerous hazard, especially to the motorcyclist. The average hospital bill for a motorcycle rider's injuries are approximately $28,000.00.
