New Jersey Motorcycle Collisions

Motorcycle accidents in the United States are a cause for concern due to the extreme vulnerability of motorcycle riders compared to those who ride inside passenger vehicles. Due to their obvious lack of protection, and the potential for ejection from their vehicle, motorcyclists face much higher probabilities of sustaining serious injuries or even losing their lives in auto accidents.

In 2021, over 5,900 motorcycle riders lost their lives in traffic accidents in the United States. This is approximately 14% of all annual traffic accident fatalities. Additionally, this is the highest number of yearly motorcycle crash fatalities since 1975. These crashes happen for many different reasons; however, the most common contributing factors to motorcycle collisions include driver distraction, inattention, alcohol impairment, speeding, and failure to yield the right of way. In over 50% of motorcycle accidents, negligent driving is to blame.
