Motorcycle Accidents in California
Statistics show that California has the most registered motorcyclists in the United States, at about 800,000. Out of these cyclists, about 12,000 suffer injuries annually after being involved in vehicle accidents. Because motorcycles are small and can squeeze in between vehicles, it’s easy for drivers to accidentally strike them if they are not checking their blind spots or rearview mirrors. Because riders only wear helmets, the rest of their bodies are highly susceptible to being harmed.
It’s important for injured motorcyclists to seek help from an experienced California personal attorney immediately after being involved in an accident, especially if they weren’t responsible for the damages.
