The Reality of Motorcycle Accidents in Maine & the U.S. 

Motorcycle accidents continue to be a significant concern nationwide. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), motorcyclists are about 22 times more likely to die in a crash than passenger vehicle occupants, per vehicle miles traveled, and about four times more likely to be injured.  In recent years, motorcycle accidents have accounted for a disproportionately high share of traffic deaths, despite the fact that motorcycles make up only a small percentage of all registered vehicles.

In 2023 alone, over 6,300 motorcyclists were killed in traffic crashes nationwide, one of the highest totals on record. Roughly 84,000 riders were injured that same year. 

In Maine, crashes often happen on rural highways, two-lane routes, and coastal roads where visibility, wildlife, and changing weather increase risk. Some collisions involve catastrophic injuries that require long-term treatment and ongoing support. If you are hurt in the Bangor area and treated at Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center, your medical records and recovery plan can be key evidence in a motorcycle accident lawyer Bangor case.
