???? The Scope of Motorcycle Crashes: U.S. & Maryland Context
- In 2023, 6,335 motorcyclists died in U.S. traffic crashes, representing about 15% of all traffic fatalities—despite motorcycles being only 3–4% of registered vehicles nationally.
- In Maryland, there were 73 fatal motorcycle crashes in 2022, and approximately 1,338 such crashes that year—with most resulting in serious injury or death.
- From 2019–2023, Maryland logged an annual average of 947 motorcycle injury crashes and 80 fatalities, significantly higher than their crash share (over‑represented in fatality statistics).
???? Why Motorcycle Collisions Can Be Catastrophic
- Lack of physical protection: Riders face high risk in every crash. In Maryland, motorcyclists are injured in nearly 75% of crashes involving a vehicle due to minimal shielding.
- Speeding and alcohol: NHTSA data shows that in 2023, about 41% of motorcyclists killed in single‑vehicle crashes were alcohol-impaired, and speeding accounted for a high percentage of fatal crashes.
- Visibility: Drivers frequently report “not seeing” motorcycles—lawsuits often hinge on early notice and demonstration of fault.

Should I wear a helmet to strengthen my claim?
Maryland law requires riders under 21 to wear helmets; riders over 21 may ride without one—but being helmeted helps your case by reducing injury severity and influencing insurance expectations.
How long do I have to file a claim?
Maryland’s statute of limitations is 3 years from the date of crash for personal injury claims. Claims filed later are typically barred unless unusual circumstances exist.
Does workers’ compensation replace a crash claim?
No. If you were on duty, workers’ comp handles wage replacement and medical bills; a separate personal injury claim may still be available, depending on fault and third-party liability.
What is the insurance payout timeline?
We typically negotiate a demand package within 90–120 days. If a fair offer is not received, we can initiate suit and proceed to trial, aiming to resolve within a year or less.
???? What Makes a Strong Motorcycle Crash Case?
- Medical treatment within 24–48 hours, including ER or urgent care records.
- Crash documentation such as Police CrashDocs, skid mark measurements, windshield scrapings.
- Witness or passenger statements, surveillance video or photos.
- Insurer communications, particularly if they request early recorded statements or offer quick settlement.
