Just a quick jaunt on the 'net. 1998 statistical data. Page 29.

Unfortunately, no breakdown on this study between <1500/>1500. However, the point is graphically illustrated. There are other studies in GA and the military that break it down better. I've sat through several CFI refreshers (& a few military briefings as a UPT IP) using charts showing the high accident stats at less than 1500 hrs flight time.
