A motorbike accident or motorcycle accident is a road traffic accident which involves a motorcycle colliding with another vehicle, road user or roadside object. Often these road traffic incidents result in an injury or damage to property and can often be fatal. It is generally accepted that riding a motorcycle can be extremely dangerous and motorcyclists can be very vulnerable.

As a motorcycle rider you are 40 times more likely to be killed than car drivers or passengers. The number of motorcyclists killed or seriously injured in 2006 rose 4% in 2007. When analysing a motorbike accident there is usually a certain amount of bias placed against the rider of motorbikes but in a lot of cases a motorcycle accident is not actually the fault of the motorcyclist but of the driver of the other vehicle.

The majority, in fact 80% of motorbike accidents occur when another road user fails to see the motorcyclist. However saying that over a third of riders have caused accidents by speeding. Inexperienced motorbike owners often will try to test their abilities and push their bikes to the limit. Other factors such as poor visibility and slippery roads due to poor weather conditions can make motorcycling extremely dangerous. It is more likely to have a motorbike accident at night due to decreased visibility on behalf of the rider and other drivers.
