5 Facts You Should Know about Motorcycle Accidents in California

‍

Motorcycle Accidents May Cause Serious Permanent Injuries

In Southern California, the sheer number of motorcycles on the road means that there is a higher likelihood of a motorcycle rider being involved in an accident. Not all motorcycle accidents cause death. While that’s good news, it’s important to realize that motorcycle accidents can cause serious permanent injuries such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and paralysis. To reduce your risk of serious injury or death in the event of a motorcycle accident, wear the appropriate safety gear.

‍

Motorcycle Riders More Likely to Be Injured in an Accident

Because of the way motorcycles are designed, riders are 26 times more likely to be injured in an accident in the Whittier, West Covina, Diamond Bar area than someone who is in a car accident. When people ride inside of a car, they are inside of a metal cage that can protect the body from impacting the ground at a high rate of speed. Motorcycle riders do not have this same protection. Regardless of the type of vehicle you drive, you should pay attention to the presence of other drivers, always drive at a safe rate of speed, and always check your mirrors.

‍

Most Commonly Reported Motorcycle Accident Injuries

Motorcycle accidents in California often cause a rider to suffer from several injuries. Although wearing a helmet and the proper safety gear can minimize the risk of severe injuries, it is no guarantee of protection. Head and brain injuries occur in around 30% of motorcycle accidents in California according to SWITRS. Other injuries include leg and foot injuries (some even result in amputation), internal injuries, blood loss, and burns.

‍

Studies Show Other Driver Is Often the Negligent Party

Although SWITRS does not track information related to motorcycle accidents in California when someone other than the motorcycle rider is at fault, studies around the nation have concluded that it is motorcycle accidents occur because of the negligence of the other driver. These accidents most commonly occur when the driver of a car or truck tries to make a left hand turn in front of an oncoming motorcycle.

‍

People Injured in a Motorcycle Accident May Be Eligible for Financial Compensation

Motorcycle riders and passengers who are injured in a motorcycle accident caused by another person’s negligence may be eligible to receive financial compensation for their injuries, lost income, permanent disability, and pain and suffering. However, it is important that someone who is hurt in a motorcycle accident call a licensed California accident attorney to learn how they can protect and assert their legal rights.
