Motorcycle Accidents in California

Recent studies show that over 14,000 motorcyclists are injured every year in California. The reason so many motorcyclists are hurt is usually due to distracted driving, which includes drivers choosing to be on their cell phones instead of being focused on the road. Other causes include speeding, driving under the influence, and driving fatigued.

The police are thoroughly evaluating this accident to determine if the motorcyclist or the vehicle had the right of way. They’re also checking to see if the driver of the passenger vehicle was driving distracted or under the influence. They’re even checking each vehicle for possible mechanical issues.
