Motorcycle Accidents Lawyers
In California, motorcycles are among the most commonly used forms of transportation. One of the reasons why might be the picturesque roads and year-round sunny weather. Unfortunately, one of the riskiest modes of transportation is riding a motorcycle. Riding a motorcycle provides a more immediate sensation of the wide road’s independence than driving a car. It does, however, also present a greater risk of harm. Motorcyclists
are far more likely to suffer severe injuries or lose their lives in accidents than passengers in other vehicles.
Most Frequent Motorcycle Accidents?
It is common knowledge that motorcycle accidents are dangerous. In a collision, motorcycle riders have limited safety and are frequently ejected from their vehicles, which increases their risk of suffering severe or even fatal injuries. Based on the miles their vehicles travel, motorcyclists have an approximately 28-fold higher risk of dying in a traffic accident than passengers in motor vehicles.
Motorcycle accidents have several causes, but drunk driving is the most common. More than any other driver category, according to NHTSA data, over 25% of all fatal motorcycle crashes involved drugs or alcohol.
Among the other main factors in motorcycle collisions are:
-
Speeding
-
Inexperienced Bikers or Drivers
-
Risky Driving Conditions
-
Inappropriate Turns or Unsafe Lane Changes
-
Risky or Distracted Driving
-
Motorcycles That Are Malfunctioning or Broken
-
Inadequate Visibility
-
Falling to Avoid Hitting Something
-
Splitting Lanes
If At All Possible, You Should Try To Perform The Following After A Motorcycle Accident:
Keep Calm– Your adrenaline and emotions may be racing, but now is the time to keep them under control. Take a few moments to gather yourself before proceeding with the remaining procedures.
Obtain Safety– Remove yourself from the street, the flow of traffic, and any hazards such as gas leaks, fires, or damaged structures.
Examine Yourself for Injuries– Even seemingly minor injuries that go untreated might result in costly medical care later. Look for any damages you may have incurred, but don’t assume you’re fine just because you feel well—adrenaline can conceal your symptoms during and after an accident.
Notify Emergency Services– If anyone has been injured in the collision, phone 9-1-1 immediately. Request an official accident report from the police—a police report is frequently your most excellent chance of establishing your motorbike accident claim.
Document the Accident– Exchange insurance and contact information for all other parties involved. Take photos of the accident scene and document whatever you recall about the accident that may be beneficial – for example, the time, location, and damage to your property can all help prove that the other party or parties are liable. Finally, share contact information with any witnesses to your accident so you can obtain a written statement from them later.
Don’t Admit Fault– After your collision, you’ll have to speak with multiple people, including the police, the at-fault motorist, and an insurance adjuster. You must not confess fault because doing so could be used against you during settlement negotiations.
