Top 12 Tips for Riders During Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month
Additionally, we’ll look at some motorcycle accident statistics for 2022, review what to do if you’re injured in a crash, and discuss what types of damages may be recoverable in a motorcycle collision civil lawsuit.
Motorcycle Accident Statistics for 2022
According to the latest statistics provided in September 2021 by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 5,014 motorcyclists were killed in crashes in 2019. Those fatal motorcycle accidents accounted for 14% of all traffic deaths that year.
Some additional motorcycle accident statistics provided by the NHTSA include:
71% of motorcyclists reported using Department of Transportation (DOT)-compliant helmets in 2019.
An estimated 84,000 motorcyclists were injured in 2019 (a 2% increase from 82,000 motorcyclists injured in 2018).
Per vehicle miles traveled in 2019, motorcyclist fatalities occurred nearly 29 times more frequently than passenger car occupant fatalities in traffic crashes.
30% of motorcycle riders involved in fatal crashes in 2019 were riding without valid motorcycle licenses.
In 2019, motorcycle riders involved in fatal crashes had higher percentages of alcohol impairment than drivers of any other motor vehicle type (29% for motorcycles, 20% for passenger cars, 19% for light trucks, and 2% for large trucks).
42% of motorcycle riders who died in single-vehicle crashes in 2019 were alcohol-impaired.
Motorcycle riders killed in traffic crashes at night were almost three times more frequently alcohol-impaired than those killed during the day in 2019.
In states without universal helmet laws, 57% of motorcyclists killed in 2019 were not wearing helmets, as compared to 9% in states with universal helmet laws.
The NHTSA notes that the above information on fatal motor vehicle traffic crashes was based on data from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS). Additionally, the non-fatal motor vehicle traffic crash statistics were based on data from the National Automotive Sampling System (NASS), the General Estimates System (GES), and the Crash Report Sampling System (CRSS).
Some additional motorcycle helmet safety statistics for 2016 provided by the NHTSA include:
An estimated 1,859 motorcyclists’ lives were saved by helmets.
An estimated 802 additional motorcyclists’ lives could have been saved if riders had worn helmets.
Helmets are estimated to reduce operator deaths by at least 37%.
Top 12 Tips for Riders During Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month
Given the popularity of motorcycling here in California, Dordulian Law Group (DLG) has put together some important safety tips for riders.
Get Familiar With Your Bike: Motorcycles are unique, and every rider should be sure to take an appropriate amount of time to get properly acquainted – particularly whenever upgrading to a new bike.
Wear a Helmet: While this is one safety tip that’s hopefully implied, some motorcycle riders choose not to wear helmets. But helmets can be the difference between life and death in the event of a motorcycle accident. As the NHTSA confirms, in states without universal helmet laws, 57% of motorcyclists killed in 2019 were not wearing helmets (compared to only 9% in states mandating universal helmet laws).
Maintain Your Motorcycle: Ensuring that your bike receives regularly scheduled maintenance is a great way to keep it performing at optimum level, but it can also help prevent an unfortunate accident leading to serious or even catastrophic injuries.
Check Your Bike Before Every Ride: Before every ride, it is recommended that motorcyclists check tire pressure, turn signals, foot and hand brakes, and fluid levels.
Ride Defensively: Motorcyclists are at an obvious disadvantage when it comes to potential collisions with cars, trucks, and tractor trailers sharing the roadways. Accordingly, it’s recommended that motorcyclists drive defensively and vigilantly at all times. Be aware of blinds spots for both cars and trucks, and ride with your lights on during the day and night.
Obey the Rules of the Road: Following posted speed limits, lane markings, and all traffic signals is not only common sense, but it can also help ensure that you get to your destination safely.
Keep Weather Conditions in Mind: Weather can change in an instant, and inclement conditions can make your motorcycle trip inherently dangerous. Accordingly, always check the weather forecast for the day before heading out on your bike.
NEVER Drink and Drive: As mentioned above, motorcyclists are unfortunately much more likely to die in drunk or drug-induced crashes. Driving a motorcycle under the influence of any type of substance is strongly discouraged (not to mention illegal).
Take a Safety Course: The California Highway Patrol offers a R.I.D.E. Right motorcyclist safety course which includes a “hands on experience that will teach the necessary skills so you can be a Responsible, Informed, Disciplined, and Equipped rider.” Other benefits include a DMV skills test waiver and possible insurance breaks.
Wear Appropriate Motorcycle Gear: DOT-approved helmets, goggles, leather jackets, leather pants or chaps, over the ankle boots, and non-slip gloves are all essential types of gear that can help protect you from not only the elements, but also road rash, debris, and serious injury in the event of an accident.
Be Visible: Motorcyclists should never assume they are visible to cars and trucks sharing the roadways. Wearing bright colors or reflective clothing and driving with your headlights on can help ensure that you’re always seen by other drivers.
Carry a First-Aid Kit: In the event of an accident that leads to an injury, a standard first-aid kit can be useful. Keeping a kit inside your bike is strongly recommended.
Top 6 Tips for Car/Truck Drivers During Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month
Check Your Blind Spots: As a car or truck driver, a motorcycle can easily slip into your blind spot. Accordingly, be sure to always check your mirrors when changing lanes or turning (and always use your signals).
Don’t Tailgate: This is a common-sense tip regardless of whether you’re following a car, truck, bicycle, or motorcycle. But as it’s Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, remember to never tailgate a bike.
Slow Down Around Motorcycles: Motorcycles are unique machines. As such, bikes don’t turn, handle, or accelerate the same as other vehicles. Driving cautiously (e.g. slowly) around motorcycles is always recommended.
Always Signal When Turning: If a motorcycle should slip into your blind spot, signaling is one way to help avoid an accident – particularly when making a left hand turn.
Don’t Drink and Drive: Drinking and driving is illegal and strongly discouraged. But when sharing the roads with motorcycles, drunk drivers can cause serious accidents leading to catastrophic injuries for motorcyclists. NEVER drink and drive.
Dim Your Headlights: While you may not realize as much as a car or truck driver, motorcyclists can actually become temporarily blinded by your vehicle’s high beams. Accordingly, it’s recommended that you dim your headlights whenever traveling in the presence of motorcycles.
What Can I Do if I’ve Been Injured in a Motorcycle Accident?
If you’ve been injured in a California motorcycle accident, you may be facing a long road to recovery which includes substantial medical care, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. Motorcycle accident injuries are often severe, requiring long-term care and rehabilitation.
In fact, a 2019 report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration confirmed that motorcyclists involved in traffic collisions are 26-28 times more likely to die (and nine times more likely to be injured) than automobile passengers.
Some of the common injuries that can result from motorcycle accidents include:
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
Concussion (MTBI)
Spinal cord injuries
Road rash injuries
Broken or fractured bones
Lower extremity injuries
Internal organ damage
Lacerations, scrapes, and bruises
After a motorcycle accident due to another’s negligence, an injured rider may wish to file a civil lawsuit ensuring that all applicable damages are obtained and a complete recovery is made – both physically and financially. Financial hardship and pain and suffering should not be the responsibility of you, the motorcyclist, but of the at-fault car or truck driver.
By filing a personal injury claim, the motorcycle accident attorneys at DLG will fight to help you recover the compensation you need to avoid financial hardship over lost wages or a reduced earning capacity. We’ll also work tirelessly to ensure that you get the best medical care available for your injuries.
What Damages Can be Recovered in a Motorcycle Accident Injury Lawsuit?
After a motorcycle accident that leads to an injury, the types of economic and non-economic damages that may be recovered will vary depending on the unique circumstances of the crash (e.g. the severity of your injuries, the extent of liability, the at-fault driver’s history/record, etc.).
Examples of motorcycle accident injury damages are broken down below according to type.
Common Motorcycle Accident Injury Economic Damages:
Lost Wages
Lost Earning Capacity
Medical expenses
Emergency department treatment
Physical Therapy
Rehabilitation
Common Motorcycle Accident Injury Non-Economic Damages:
Pain and suffering
Emotional trauma
Reduced quality of life
Scarring or other serious injury
Compensation for loss of a limb or disfigurement

After being involved in a car accident. I look up a law firm in the area and found Dordulian Law Group. I am so grateful for their passion, dedication, and professionalism. Wendy and the rest of the staff keep me informed every step of my case and answer all my questions. I'm completely satisfied with my experience thus far.

DLG Law is truly the best I've ever worked with. Thank you so much!
Initially the communication was a bit choppy due to some green talent in the office but that happens.. It's important in business allow the full process to play out & not get emotional to determine if a company is going to ultimately be responsible/professional or not! I can say I'M HAPPY I followed my instincts and waited til the department manager got back in town to handle my case and negotiations. They took care of me.This company seems to have some experienced upper management that understands how to work things out for the integrity of business and the betterment of their clients. I'm pleased with the most recent dealings with this company. Dordulian Law Group IS a company I would refer for personal injury or accident; they have experienced professionals that represent them.

This firm comes highly recommended from me. Regarding a potential premises liability lawsuit, I contacted the firm. I received a timely response. Rafi reviewed the documents I provided quickly but thoroughly. Rafi called me again when I had additional questions that I hadn't thought to ask, and he took the time to address each one. I am really happy with the quality of service they have provided.
The entire time, they kept us in the loop, and we couldn't be happier with the final products. Their commitment to customer satisfaction goes far beyond what is required! The law firm has been great to work with and I would recommend them to anyone! I appreciate Dordulian Law Group's help!

I have a case that is close to being settled but unfortunately, my customer service representative no longer works there. I called the office to check on status, and the receptionist was very friendly and helpful in getting me in touch with my new case representative. And it only got better. Wendy is my new representative and she is the best! She took my information then, got back to me very quickly with an update on my case. I am so pleased with the level of service she has provided. Give that woman a raise!
Tracy Serrano was great as my case manager. Always kept me in the loop. When I had any questions she was prompt with a response. I'm gonna miss her. Best experience I ever had with an attorney during a personal injury claim.
They made the entire process easy. I didn’t pay a thing. I only had to show up to my medical appointments and focus on getting better while they handled the paperwork. The insurance company wanted to offer me a settlement of 1400 for everything and Dordulian law was able to get them to cover my bills repairs and also give me more in the settlement. They are worth the call
Just got my settlement! Sam Dordulian is THE best! Professional, courteous, explained everything. Highly recommend. Special kudos to Rafi and Grisell for their help!
My paralegal was Grisell & she was amazing! Honestly, she handled my case with care. She was very transparent & was eager to share good news. I can tell she thoroughly works on each case so that the clients get the most they can. I would refer anyone to Dordulian Law Group.
I was in a accident with a big truck and Armin K. my closing co ordinator got me more than I expected. He was kind and fast. He got my case closed faster than I thought.
Sam Dordulian was very easy to work with. The firm was very caring, compassionate, understanding and most importantly treated me as family. They took care of my case and made sure I understood what was happening. I just want to say Thank You for all they did to make this as easy as possible.
Great team here. They made sure I had everything I needed and kept me up to date consistently on the progress of my case. Even when I moved to another state they still gave me the same wonderful treatment. They are truly lucky to have Matt on their team.
My significant other and I were driving home from an work party when were were rear-ended by a large semi-truck travelling at highway speed ( we were completely stopped). Through no fault our own, a pleasant party evening changed turned into a life changing event. We were both injured and transported to the emergency room for treatment. We both sustained serious neck, back, and limb injuries consistent with a crush of this type. Our car was completely destroyed.I'm pleased to say that my personal injury case was settled out of court after about seven months. My medical bills were completely covered. I netted a fair settlement and life moves on. Thank you for reading and good luck to your case.
It is horrible to be in a car accident. The physical and mental toll of recovering from an unexpected car accident is something I do not wish on anymore. If anyone finds themselves in a situation like me, I know that DLG law will take very good care of you like they took very good care of me.
I have appreciated Sam Dordulian’s firm. It was a long year however Sam Dordulian lawyers were helpful investing their time and knowledge. I am pleased and grateful with the outcome. Thank you Sam Dordulian and lawyers.

My husband was in an accident on the heels of wrapping up the sub-standard process from an accident we were both involved in almost a year before; two accidents in one year after NEVER having been in one for our entire driving history. Needless to say, neither of us were looking forward to the process. We reached out to Dordulian Law Group and got the process started and am happy to report that things were wrapped up in a (for the most part) timely fashion. What is important to add here is that while an attorney is customarily the one who gets credit, I want to take this opportunity to give kudos to Rafi. for helping us through the last-minute phone calls and assuring us that everything was moving ahead as planned.
Sam and his team took over my case and resolved many issues for me.

Rafi was so pleasant, courteous and concerned about our well being. He took all the information and said to hold on he would get the lawyer on the other line. We talked with him and he was just as nice. Rafi sent over the paperwork right away for us to sign and sent us her information to contact if we needed anything. Such a relief to have them in our corner. Couldn't believe how fast he got everything done. Anyone needing representation needs to give them a call and ask for Rafi, he will definitely treat you right! Thank you Rafi and Dordulian Law Firm.

I would definitely recommend The Dordulian Law Group to all my family and friends.

I needed a lawyer to help resolve an issue with my insurance. I contacted several lawyers. He responded within minutes after contacting him; answered my questions and was very responsive and helped resolve the issue within 24 hours. As many other reviewers have stated, he is very quick to respond, is frank and upfront with the issue at hand, takes immediate action to help resolve the issue in your best interest, and is reliable. I would definitely recommend Sam for any personal injury case, and I if I have any problems in the future (hopefully not), I will definitely be contacting Dordulian Law Group again.
Sam Dordulian is one of the hardest working attorneys I know. He will work around the clock to make sure deadlines are met and clients are satisfied. Not to mention, he's an extremely talented attorney. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a solid attorney and advocate.
Sam Dordulian is a very professional and knowledgeable attorney. He represented me in court and I felt very well taken care of. His friendly demeanor and confidence assured me that I was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Mr. Dordulian to anyone in need of an attorney. I was totally satisfied.
After contacting several law firms, I was impressed with this firm. Rafi and S. Dordulian really listened and assisted me. Rafi kept the line of communication open as well as, giving excellent advice. He made you feel at ease and comfortable as a good friend would. There was sincere concern shown to the issues I was having. If I needed an attorney again, Sam would be my first call.
I spoke with Sam a few months ago in regards to a medical issue that my family had and he spent probably a good 45 minutes discussing all the options. Some of those options panned out and I am very grateful for his advice and insight. He is obviously a very caring guy and isn't in for the money. If you want someone you can trust I really believe he is the guy.
Sometimes workers comp cases can drag on. Samuel was there every step of the way with superior knowledge and intellect. What struck me was the kindness I found in him. He has always made sure my family and I were doing well. This kindness bridged the gap from the beginning of my case to the end and continues today.I'm convinced there isn't a workers compensation issue too big or small for he and his law group to handle. Because of Sam these past Holidays were the best I could have imagined. Thank you Dordulian Law Group.
