Repercussions of Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists are especially vulnerable on the road. Accidents involving motorcycles often result in severe and catastrophic injuries for the motorcyclist. This is because the motorcyclist does not have the protection and safety most vehicles provide, such as seat belts, airbags, and a general outer framework.

What Causes Motorcycle Accidents?

Many assume that if a motorcyclist was injured in an accident, he or she was driving recklessly. While that is sometimes the case, it is certainly not always the cause of an accident. Often, motorcycle accidents are the result of an inattentive driver of another vehicle. The other motorist may have failed to check before turning or changing lanes appropriately, or he or she was distracted. Dangerous road conditions are another common cause of motorcycle accidents.

New Mexico Motorcycle Accident Statistics

According to the New Mexico Department of Transportation, motorcyclist fatalities made up about 12 percent of all motor vehicle fatalities in 2016. Less than four percent of those fatal accidents involved alcohol. Half of the motorcyclist fatalities occurred while the motorcyclist was wearing a helmet.
