The state of California contains roughly 800,000 registered motorcycles — more than any other state in the country. California’s pleasant weather and gorgeous scenery draw motorcyclists from all over the world. Home to several “Top 100 Motorcycle Roads,” it’s easy to see why the state has so many motorcycles.
Unfortunately, tens of thousands of motorcycle accidents injure tens of thousands of California motorcyclists each year. If you’re one of the many riders who sustains an injury due to the negligence of a driver, a Los Angeles motorcycle accident lawyer can work to secure your rights.
Top Causes Of Motorcycle Accidents In Los Angeles
The freedom that comes with riding a motorcycle is not free from severe risks. While drivers enjoy the protections of a secure cabin, riders must operate powerful machinery out in the open. To make matters worse, drivers of other vehicles often don’t notice riders, making riding a motorcycle in California a dangerous hobby that often results in severe injuries or death.
Many factors can instigate a crash, and approximately 80% of motorcycle accidents result in injuries to the rider. It’s important to know about the top causes of accidents to avoid them as much as possible:
- A driver’s unsafe lane changes
- Opening car doors on the side of the road
- Speeding drivers
- Drunk drivers
- Drunk riders
- Sudden stops
- Inexperienced drivers
- Inexperienced riders
- Inattentive drivers making left-hand turns
- Dangerous road conditions
- Motorcycle manufacturer defects
Any of the above factors on its own can lead to a crash that can do significant harm. Due to the lack of protection, riders tend to sustain painful injuries in all types of crash scenarios.
Injuries That May Result From A Motorcycle Crash
Even though California law requires all riders to wear helmets, riders often sustain severe head injuries and injuries to their extremities. Injuries that result in paralysis, scarring, and/or disfigurement are common.
- Concussions/Traumatic Brain Injuries
- Arm and Leg Injuries/Fractures
