Motorcycle Accidents in California
According to recent studies, over 50% of fatal motorcycle accidents occur on weekends between the hours of 3:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. The leading cause of these accidents is usually drivers’ inattention or negligence. When drivers are busy participating in other activities while they’re driving, they are less likely to check their rearview mirrors or blind spots for oncoming motorcyclists. Because passenger vehicles are larger and heavier, motorcyclists are highly susceptible to be seriously injured after a collision. Depending on the severity of the accident, injuries range from minor to fatal. For those who have been injured in a motorcycle accident, it’s extremely important to hire a California personal injury lawyer to file a personal injury lawsuit.
