MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS

California Motorcycle Accident Attorneys

California is a very popular motorcycle destination. Southern California offers a beautiful juxtaposition between sweeping hillsides and sandy beaches. Every year, thousands of motorcyclists travel through Southern California. Unfortunately, motorcycling is not without risks, even for the most seasoned cyclist.

Every year, more than 88,000 motorcyclists are injured on U.S. roadways. Another 5,000 or more are killed. Motorcycle related deaths account for 17 percent of all fatalities on California roadways. In 2016, there were 548 motorcycle fatalities across California.

Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

Any sort of auto accident can be traumatic and leave you with physical and mental injuries. There are several reasons why motorcyclists are at a greater risk of being injured or killed in an auto accident. These factors include:

  • Motorcycles are smaller and less visible to other drivers. Drivers who are not paying attention or don’t “see” the motorcycle are a common cause of motorcycle accidents.
  • Road hazards, such as potholes, loose gravel, or debris, can be particularly dangerous for motorcyclists.
  • In California, motorcyclists often travel in groups. It is important to maintain excellent communication between riders to avoid colliding with one another.
  • Motorcycles, by design, do not offer enclosed protection for the driver or passengers. It is important to always wear proper safety equipment while riding (helmet, leathers, boots, etc.).

If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident caused by someone else’s negligence, recklessness, or wrongdoing, contact The Law Offices of Dennis R. Fusi & Associates, PLC today to learn more about your options for recovery.
