With these advantages comes a downside; in 2006 alone, nearly 5,000 individuals were killed in motorcycle accidents.

The advice for vehicle occupants involved in a car crash does not always apply for motorcycle riders. Often, in collision, the rider is rendered unconscious or otherwise injured and unable to gather information on other drivers and witnesses. Many insurance companies will not conduct an investigation detailed enough to determine the causes and circumstances of the accident, which can be affected by weather and road factors, as well as defects of the motorcycle and driver error. Shortcomings in investigation can lead to superficial settlements that do not sufficiently consider the actual costs associated with a motorcycle crash and its injuries.
