Have you or a loved one been seriously injured or killed in a motorcycle accident in Huntsville or Decatur, Alabama? Compared to passenger cars, motorcycles are far more risky. Motorcyclists are approximately 28 times more likely than passengers in passenger automobiles to die in a collision for every vehicle mile driven, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). This glaring disparity highlights how vulnerable riders are because of their smaller vehicle size, lack of physical protection, and increased instability when riding two wheels.
Injuries are also more common on motorcycles. Compared to other vehicle occupants, riders have a roughly fivefold increased risk of suffering injuries in an accident. These numbers demonstrate that riding a motorbike entails a disproportionately high risk and are based on the most recent statistics from the NHTSA Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS).
There are approximately 30 crashes per week in the state of Alabama, with an average of two deaths per week. While one in 17 motorbike crashes ends in death, it’s 1 in 163 for all road crashes. Motorcycle crashes are 864%, or 9.6 times, more likely to result in death.
