Motorcycle Accidents in California
Recent studies reveal that about 78% of motorcyclists end up injured in motorcycle accidents, while about 4% result in fatalities. The leading cause of most motorcycle accidents is often driver’s inattentiveness, especially if they’re texting, eating, grooming, or conversing with other passengers. Because motorcycles are smaller, they are more prone to be affected by hazardous road conditions, such as potholes, large cracks, or excess debris.
