Current MOtorcycle Crash Statistics
According to the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA):
- In 2022, 5,932 motorcyclists were killed in crashes across the United States—the highest number on record.
- Motorcyclists are nearly 24 times more likely to die in a traffic crash than passenger car occupants.
- They are also four times more likely to be injured in a crash.
- Speeding, impaired driving, and lack of visibility are among the leading contributors to
fatal motorcycle collisions.
Despite these dangers, motorcycle riders have the same rights on the road as every other motorist. When other drivers are negligent, the consequences for motorcyclists can be devastating.
The Risks Of Motorcycle Riding
Motorcycle riders face significantly higher risks on the road compared to drivers of passenger vehicles. Unlike cars, motorcycles offer no protective exterior structure, seat belts, or airbags to absorb impact. Even with a helmet and protective gear, riders remain exposed to direct contact with the road, other vehicles, and dangerous obstacles in the event of a crash.
At Bryan K. Harris, P.C., we represent motorcycle accident victims and their families nationwide. Whether your injuries stem from a collision with another vehicle or from a mechanical failure or design defect in your motorcycle, our attorneys are prepared to pursue the full compensation you are entitled to under the law.

Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries
Motorcycle accidents frequently result in serious or life-altering injuries, especially in high-speed or high-impact collisions. Common injuries include:
Traumatic brain injuries, even with helmet use
Spinal cord damage and paralysis
Multiple fractures of crushed limbs
Loss of limbs or limb function
Recovery from these injuries can require long-term hospitalization, multiple surgeries, rehabilitation, and extensive time away from work. The financial burden can be overwhelming, especially when insurance companies attempt to shift blame onto the rider.
Motorcycle Defects and Product Liability
Motorcycle Defects and Product Liability
Not all motorcycle accidents are caused by driver negligence. Some crashes occur due to design flaws, mechanical failures, or defective parts, including:
Faulty brakes or brake lines
Defective tires or wheel components
Suspension failures
Electrical malfunctions
Steering defects or stability issues
Faulty brakes or brake lines
Defective tires or wheel components
Suspension failures
Electrical malfunctions
Steering defects or stability issues
Our attorneys investigate every possible cause of the accident. If a defective part or poor design contributed to the crash, we pursue claims against the motorcycle manufacturer or parts supplier under product liability laws.
