Motorcycle Accidents in California

According to recent studies, turning left in front of an oncoming motorcyclist is among the top ten leading causes of motorcycle accidents in the country. Violating traffic laws is also a common cause of these accidents as well. Because motorcyclists are more exposed than occupants of a passenger vehicle, they’re more prone to suffer from serious injuries, which could require an extensive amount of time to heal.
