Motorcycle Accidents in California
One of the leading causes of all motorcycle accidents in the United States is negligent driving, which includes drivers not checking their blind spots, turning in front of oncoming cyclists, driving under the influence, using a cell phone, and more. Because motorcycles are considered vehicles, California laws require all drivers to give motorcyclists the same respect as passenger vehicles.
Because multiple vehicles were involved in this accident, determining causation and liability might be complicated. Once the police are done investigating, the motorcyclist may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit.
