California Motorcycle Accidents

The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration reported that the lives of 309 motorcyclists were saved in 2016 due to wearing helmets. The California Vehicle Code Section 27803 states that helmets must be worn at all times to reduce the chance of a serious motorcycle injury.

Helmets make a difference when it comes to motorcycle accidents. However, a serious accident may still leave motorcyclists with injuries despite wearing the helmet.
