Motorcycle Accidents

In California, motorcyclists have the same right to use the streets and highways as operators of all other vehicles. Unfortunately, other motorists often do not fully respect motorcyclists' rights, with tragic consequences. Even the most careful motorcycle rider can be catastrophically injured when his rights to the road are not respected.

Because motorcycles typically offer less protection in an accident than cars do, motorcyclists can suffer serious injuries even in low-speed events. In fact, the most recent data from the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration shows motorcyclists are victims of fatal accidents at a rate almost five times greater than automobiles. The rate of serious injuries to motorcyclists has been shown to be 16 times that of people travelling in cars.
