Motorcycle Accidents in Hawaii

Riding a motorcycle has always been inherently more dangerous than riding in a passenger vehicle. It has become even more dangerous in recent times, with an increase in driver distractions that include cellular phones, navigation systems, and in-car entertainment units. Drivers of passenger vehicles frequently do not take heed of motorcycles in their vicinity, especially when distracted, and that is when serious accidents can occur. Motorcycle accidents are dramatically different than other types of traffic accidents, in that the likelihood of severe injury or death to the rider is very high, no matter how forceful the collision.

This is due to a number of unique factors, including:

• The motorcycle itself providing little to no protection for the rider in the event of an accident
• The frequency of riders being thrown into traffic or onto the road when a collision does occur
• The tendency for riders to strike vehicles or other large objects when they are ejected

It is estimated that 80% of all motorcycle accidents involve the rider being injured or killed. 18% of those injured suffer some manner of permanent disability, and 10% experience injuries that leave them paralyzed, such as severed spinal cords and fractured vertebrae.
