Motorcycle Accidents in California
Studies show that almost 12,000 motorcyclists are injured  every year in California. The reason motorcyclists are highly susceptible to injuries is due to their lack of protective gear. The only protective element motorcyclists wear are helmets, which cannot fully protect them from the weight and size of other vehicles.
The police are currently investigating to determine what caused the accident, who had the right of way, and who will be held liable. They’re checking the speed of both vehicles, mechanical conditions, highway conditions, and the condition of each driver at the time of the crash. Once they conclude their reports, the motorcyclist may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit.
