According to the reports, a motorcyclist and another vehicle collided at approximately 3:02 p.m. for unknown reasons. When the paramedics arrived at the scene, they found the motorcyclist lying in the roadway and transported the victim to a nearby hospital for treatment.

Motorcycle Accidents in California

The reason why thousands of motorcyclists are injured every year in California is because their bodies are highly susceptible to the impact of other vehicles since the only bodily protection they wear are helmets. To make matters worse, most of the time drivers aren’t even aware of motorcyclists on the road since they’re smaller and harder to see. All drivers owe a duty to their fellow drivers to drive responsibly on the road, which means no texting, speeding, falling asleep at the wheel, or violating traffic laws. Otherwise, motorcyclists are constantly put at risk of being seriously injured or killed.

Once the police find and arrest the other driver involved, the motorcyclist could file a personal injury lawsuit with the help of a California personal injury attorney.
