Motorcycle Helmet Laws Saves Lives

Helmets Save lives. Helmet laws increase motorcycle helmet usage which in turn saves lives and reduces head trauma. This has been proven numerous times through state fatality data (including Illinois, California, Washington, and Louisiana) that allowed comparison of deaths and injuries before and after helmet laws were enacted. The most accurate reflection of a state’s helmet use law is through the comparison of that state’s motorcycle crash-related fatalities before and after enactment or repeal a helmet law for all riders.
