Motorcycle Accidents & Injury in New Hampshire
The open-air riding that makes motorcycling so enjoyable is the same quality that makes these hobbies so dangerous. When sharing the road with cars and large trucks, motorcycles just don’t have the same level of protection against serious injuries in an accident.
Nationally, 80% of all motorcycle accidents result in some type of injury, and motorcyclists are four times more likely to be injured in a crash than operators or passengers of other motor vehicles. The lack of protection and 2-wheeled design make the motorcycle inherently more dangerous than a car or truck, and their smaller size makes them less visible.

Observe Proper Motorcycle Safety Standards
- Get Training. In 2020, 36% of motorcyclists who died in accidents in the US were driving without a valid license. Be sure to get the training and licensure to drive legally. Learn the rules of the road and follow them.
- Wear a Helmet. Wearing a helmet reduces the risk of head injury by 69% and can be the difference between an injury and a fatality. New Hampshire is one of only three states without a motorcycle helmet law, though helmets are required for drivers under the age of 18.
- Follow the Speed Limit. About one-third of multi-vehicle motorcycle accidents happen at intersections when cars turn into the path of an oncoming motorcycle that they did not see. Following the speed limit not only reduces possible negligence on your part, but it also gives you the extra time you need to react to the unexpected.
- Never Drink and Drive. About 43% of all fatal motorcycle crashes involve alcohol. Alcohol affects your judgment and reflexes. Never risk your life or the life of others for a drink.
