Motorcycle Accidents in California
Motorcycles account for less than 2% of vehicles on the road. However, they account for more than 10% of fatal accidents that occur across the country. Even higher is the rate that these riders are harmed in motor vehicle accidents. Motorcyclists are completely vulnerable to the impact of accidents. As a result, they are likely to suffer significantly in the event of an accident.
Each year, more than 4,200 people suffer injuries in motorcycle accidents in the state of California. These accidents can often be avoided. Regrettably, we frequently witness accidents leaving innocent victims with severe injuries as a result of drivers who behave carelessly on the roads in our state.
Victims of accidents caused by the carelessness of others are strongly advised to see an attorney and potentially pursue legal action. These claims provide monetary compensation for certain types of damages that motorcyclists suffer. You need to be able to prove fault in order to receive compensation. Even if you contributed somewhat to the accident, you can still be eligible for compensation. The comparative negligence doctrine, however, specifies that your part of the responsibility will be deducted from the compensation you receive. You should retain legal counsel right away to ensure you have the best chance of recovering the maximum compensation possible.
