Motorcycle Accidents in California
Recent studies show that in 2015, an estimated 88,00 motorcyclists suffered injuries after being involved in vehicle accidents in the United States. Unfortunately, the main reason why so many motorcyclists are injured each year is because most drivers don’t look out for them on the road. Because motorcycles are smaller and harder to see in blind spots, it’s easier for vehicles to crash into them. Most of the time drivers are distracted on their cell phones, driving under the influence, or falling asleep at the wheel. There are some instances where external factors contribute to motorcycle accidents, such as dangerous roads and hazardous weather.
The police are completing a thorough investigation to determine why this accident happened and who should be held liable. Once they’ve completed their report, it’s possible that personal injury lawsuits will be filed.
