What Can Make Motorcycle Crashes Serious?
Motorcyclists have limited protection compared with people inside passenger vehicles. A collision can throw a rider from the motorcycle or cause direct impact with another vehicle or the roadway. The speed of the vehicles, point of impact, roadway conditions, and visibility can affect the severity of injuries.
Riders can also face additional risks when they are thrown into traffic or onto the pavement. Helmets and protective riding gear can reduce some injury risks, but they cannot prevent every serious injury. Crash evidence may include vehicle damage, debris, roadway markings, witness accounts, and available video.
