Automobile accidents are scary enough, but a motorcycle accident is a whole new level of frightening. According to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, there were almost 2,250 motorcycle crashes in 2016. 82 motorcyclists died and 1,973 were injured as a result of these accidents. Drivers and passengers are far less protected on a motorcycle than they are in cars and trucks and that can lead to devastating injuries and a higher chance of death when they are involved in a motorcycle accident.
