Motorcycle Accidents in California 

California is a popular place for motorcyclists. With a favorable climate and varied terrain, the state is home to many motorcycle enthusiasts. While riding a motorcycle can be an enjoyable activity, it also comes with a great amount of risk. According to statistics, more than 10,500 motorcycle crashes were reported across our state in a recent year. As a result of these accidents, over 8,500 people sustained injuries. With an injury rate of greater than 80%, motorcycle crashes are very clearly more dangerous than accidents involving passenger vehicles.

A motorcyclist has little protection from the force and impact of a crash. While riders can wear various protective gear, including helmets and knee and elbow pads, the force of the accident can easily overcome this protection. Riders can suffer injuries as a result of the initial collision and also following the collision if they are ejected from their motorcycle.
