Motorcycle Accidents in California 

More than 80% of all motorcycle accidents in California will result in injuries. Last year, approximately 10,600 crashes involving motorcycles were reported and more than 8,500 injuries occurred. Due to the size differential between a passenger vehicle and a motorcycle, the motorcyclist is often at great risk of being hurt in the crash. Serious injuries commonly occur, including broken bones, head injuries, and neck and spinal cord trauma. Wearing a helmet can help to lessen the chance of an injury but it often does not prevent it from occurring.

Motorcycle collisions often happen because of the negligence of other drivers involved in the crash. Speeding, reckless driving, and failure to yield the right of way all play a major role in many California motorcycle crashes. Often, drivers fail to see or yield to a motorcyclist until it is too late to avoid the accident. If you or a loved one have been impacted by a motorcycle collision, you should seek legal advice at the soonest possible time.
