Motorcycle Accidents in California
Motorcyclists are at great risk of death or serious bodily injury when they are involved in a crash. Overall, motorcycle collisions account for about 700 fatalities in our state each year. In addition, thousands more will be injured. In many cases, motorcyclists are not at fault and the crash is caused by the actions of a negligent driver.
Each motorcycle accident must be carefully investigated by authorities to determine how it took place and who should be held responsible. Ultimately, if the accident was caused by a negligent driver, then the innocent victim or their loved ones could be entitled to compensation. This includes the right to be reimbursed for lost wages, loss of earning capacity, funeral and medical costs, pain and suffering, and more.
