Motorcycle Accidents in California 

California is one of the most dangerous states in the country for motorcyclists. According to statistics from the National Security Council, more than 500 deaths are reported in California motorcycle crashes each year, placing the state among the top three nationally in this category. In addition to fatalities, over 8,500 people on average are injured in California motorcycle accidents on an annual basis with the injury rate being greater than 80% when a collision does occur.

While these statistics are no doubt sobering, they also represent the reality of the situation for motorcyclists. Riders are at great risk of being seriously harmed when they are involved in a collision. It is important for motorcyclists to follow all traffic laws and ride in a safe and non-aggressive manner at all times. However, even though precautions can be taken, avoiding an accident is not always possible.
