Motorcycle Accidents in California

Unfortunately, over 11,000 motorcyclists are injured every year in California for a variety of reasons, but the main cause is negligent driving. When drivers fail to check their rearview mirrors and blind spots, they risk colliding with oncoming motorcyclists. Because motorcycles are smaller in size and slightly harder to see, it’s easier for vehicles to crash with them if drivers are busy on their cell phones, conversing with passengers, eating, driving under the influence, or driving fatigued. Due to the lack of protective gear, it’s easy for motorcyclists to get harmed after colliding with another vehicle.
