New Study about the Increase in Motorcycle Deaths


Posted on Oct 06, 2009

"The Federal Highway Administration will conduct an intensive study into the cause of the growing number of motorcycle crashes and deaths on America's roads which is the first study of its kind in almost 30 years. Nearly 5,300 motorcycle riders died in roadway crashes in 2008, representing 14 percent of all deaths, and 96,000 were injured. Between 1997 and 2008, motorcycle fatalities jumped from 2,116 to 5,290 -- a 150 percent increase, according to the Transportation Department's Fatality Analysis Reporting System. In 2008 alone, deaths from motorcycle crashes rose by 2.2 percent while all other vehicle classes saw reductions in fatalities."

Motocycle accidents can result in serious injuries and often times death. If you or a loved one has been injured while operating a motorcycle it is important to contact a personal injury attorney.
