The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (DOT)
reported that in 2020 the state had over 2,100 motorcycle crashes. Out of these
2,100 crashes, 112 motorcyclists were killed, while over 1,700 were injured
as a result. Out of the over 1,700 who were injured, 581 motorcyclists
suffered serious injuries. The number of motorcyclists who were injured
is a huge percentage of those involved in an accident. This is likely
because when it comes to car vs. motorcycle accidents, a motorcycle offers
significantly less protection that another type of motor vehicle.
