Motorcycle Accident Statistics
Motorcyclists are at higher risk for serious crashes and fatal injuries than most motor vehicle occupants. Even while wearing a helmet, motorcycles offer minimal protection to riders and passengers. Motorcycle accidents have the potential to result in serious injuries and even death, especially when a motorcycle collides with a larger vehicle at high speed.
Statistically, Florida leads the nation in motorcycle crash deaths. According to AAA, the most frequent causes of fatal motorcycle crashes are speeding, driving while impaired, and not wearing a helmet.
In Florida, it is legal to ride a motorcycle without a helmet, but only if the operator or rider is over age 21 and that person is covered by an insurance policy providing for at least $10,000 coverage in medical benefits for injuries incurred as a result of a crash. (See Florida Statutes § 316.211.)
Common Types of Injuries in Motorcycle Accidents
