Washington Motorcycle Accidents

Traffic accidents occur in Washington often. Hundreds of thousands of traffic accidents happen yearly in the Evergreen State. About 2% of these collisions involve motorcyclists. In 2023, over 890 motorcycle crashes occurred in the state. About 330 people sustained injuries in motorcycle wrecks that same year. These numbers show a significant rise in serious wrecks compared to previous years. Specifically, motorcycle collisions made up approximately 15% of all traffic accident fatalities in the US, despite motorcycle wrecks representing a small percentage of vehicles on the road.

The majority of motorcycle accidents in Washington state and throughout the country involve negligent driving. Over half of reported motorcycle accidents are caused by drivers who did not yield the right of way. Some common types of driver negligence seen on American roadways include speeding, intoxication, or failure to yield. Seattle and Tacoma usually see a higher number of accidents due to denser traffic, while rural highways also report severe wrecks that happen due to higher speeds.
