Motorcycle Accidents in California
Unfortunately, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Safety Administration revealed that people are thirty-seven times more likely to lose their life in a motorcycle accident than in a passenger vehicle accident. They also revealed that those who ride motorcycles are nine times more likely to sustain injuries in an accident than occupants in a passenger vehicle. Because motorcycles don’t offer bodily protection, riders are more exposed to external elements than people who are enclosed in passenger vehicles. Therefore, if a rider is injured in a motorcycle accident that wasn’t their fault, it’s essential for them to hire an experienced California personal injury attorney for help.
