Abstract

Quantitative, exploratory
des criptive and retrospective study. A naly zed 397 report s of occurrences, men
between 22 and 30 years stood out in the accidents. 52% of the occurrences occurred between
motorcycles and automobiles, 98% without information regarding possible drunkenn ess, from May to
December characterized the high est percentage mainly on Friday and Saturday. The injured suffered
injuries: abrasions (43.04%), bruises (23.26%) in the limbs. Helmet use was in 58% of the injured.
Results showed that despite th e level of education and knowledge of the risks, motorcyc lists continue to
be injured, therefore, the carrying out of preventive campaigns and, more importantly, inspection of roads
where the highest number of occurre nces was recorded is necessary , as they can collaborate to minimize
the number of cases.
