Motorcycle crashes fall into three distinct categories: (1) fatal crashes, (2) injury crashes, and (3) property damage crashes.  Recent statistics show that in Virginia, motorcycle injury crashes far exceed the other two categories, both concerning motorcycle drivers and passengers. For example, in 2023, the Virginia DMV reported there were 2,127 crashes involving motorcyclists, and 127 motorcyclists lost their lives.

Negligent Acts Resulting in a Motorcycle Crash

Like other kinds of motor vehicle accidents, many negligent acts can result in a motorcycle crash, but the consequences are often far more serious when a motorcycle is involved.

Examples of such negligent acts include improper lane change, driving under the influence of alcohol, avoiding pedestrians, failure to yield, following too close, improper backing, improper passing, improper turn, excessive speed, and more.

Moreover, the consequences for motorcyclists are even more severe when the accident occurs at high speed. Furthermore, according to statistics released by the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles, over 87% of motorcycle rider fatalities occurred on interstate highways.
