Motorcycle Accidents on California Freeways

California has more registered motorcycles on the road than any other state in the U.S. For this reason, everyone on the road needs to be aware of motorcycles just as much as cars and trucks. 14,400 motorcyclists were injured on California roads in 2016 due to others’ negligence.

Motorcycle riders have the same rights as drivers of all other types of vehicles. Because motorcycles are smaller and do not sit as high as some of the larger vehicles on the road, motorcycle riders are especially vulnerable on freeways, when drivers of all sorts of motor vehicles move at high speed. In order for all to be safe on the road, no driver of any type of vehicle — cars, trucks, motorcycles, or others — should fail to be vigilant.
