These accidents can be devastating as motorcyclists are exposed and vulnerable out on the roads. Motorcyclist accident data reveals some sobering data. According to the NHTSA there were:
- Roughly 5,000 motorcyclists were killed in motor vehicle crashes in 2015, an 8% increase from 2014.
- There were 88,000 motorcyclists injured in accidents with motor vehicles in 2015, a 3% decrease from 2014.
- In 2015, motorcyclists accounted for 14% of all traffic fatalities, 4% of all people injured, 17% of all occupant (drivers and passengers) fatalities, and 4% of all occupants injured.
- A shocking 4693 motorcyclists died in crashes in 2015.
- The fatality rate for motorcyclists is roughly 27 times greater than for passenger car occupants.
- In 2015 41% of motorcyclist deaths involved single vehicle crashes, while 59% involved multiple vehicle accidents.

- Less than half the states in America require the use of helmets (Massachusetts is one of them)
