California Motorcycle Crashes
Riders of motorcycles are more likely to sustain injuries that could end their lives when they collide with larger motor vehicles. The most dangerous season of the year for motorcycle riders in California is the summer. On average, just 5% of motorcycle collisions that result in injuries also result in fatalities, and according to the California Highway Patrol, 13,907 motorcycle accidents resulted in injuries in 2017. An experienced attorney can help motorcycle crash victims in pursuing the full value of a compensation claim.
The incredible motorcycle routes with breathtaking scenery and soaring curves found in California attract riders from all over the world. Most motorcycle collisions involve a frontal impact and are known to cause serious or fatal injuries. Medical costs after a motorcycle accident are often extremely high, and crash victims may be entitled to compensation. The expense of lost wages, expensive medical care, ongoing care, and property damage can potentially be recovered if you pursue a personal injury claim.
Motorcycle accident victims frequently experience PTSD or anxiety, showing that some of the injuries experienced are more than simply physical. These mental health conditions are severe if another driver’s negligence led to the crash, and victims are likely suffering from their condition.
