Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in San Diego, California
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 80% of motorcycle accidents result in injuries or death to riders. Common sources of injury occur when a rider is ejected or thrown from his or her motorcycle. Sudden stops or a rear-end collision that may have only involved a fender-bender with passenger vehicles, could result in a motorcyclist being thrown from his or her bike, resulting in serious injury or death.
Automobiles are required to share the road with motorcyclists. Unfortunately, sometimes drivers of passenger vehicles or trucks may not always be watching out for riders. Riders have a smaller profile than other road users, and when an automobile driver makes a mistake, the person most likely to pay the consequences is the motorcycle rider. Motorcyclists don’t have the protective chassis of a vehicle and in the event of an accident are far more likely to suffer serious injuries or even death. An accident like a fender bender or rear-end collision that may have been a minor accident between two cars, can turn into a serious injury or life and death matter when it involves a motorcyclist.
Common causes of motorcycle accidents in San Diego, California include left-hand turn accidents in which a driver doesn’t see the motorcycle rider while he or she is making a left-hand turn. These accidents can be devastating because both the driver and the motorcyclist may be driving at full speed. Other risk factors that can impact motorcyclists include speeding, reckless driving, drunk driving, texting and driving, or another driver’s failure to obey the rules of the road. Inexperience can also contribute to motorcycle accidents, especially where a motorcyclist may be young, may not have taken courses to improve his or her skills, or may still be, in many ways, learning about the significant hazards of riding a motorcycle. While riding a motorcycle has its thrills and rewards, it also has its risks. Wet roads, the risk other drivers pose, the lack of a protective chassis, potholes, and other factors can result in accidents. Riders need to not only be more hyper-aware of other drivers, but they also need to be aware of road hazards like slippery surfaces, gravel, and potholes.

Due to the lack of protection provided by motorcycles, even the most careful bikers are vulnerable to severe injuries or death when involved in a car accident.

Our Work Combats Insurance Company Bias in San Diego, California
Plaintiffs in motorcycle accident injury cases are at a disadvantage when it comes to demonstrating the fault of the other driver. It is often presumed that bikers are reckless on the road, and insurance companies dedicated to finding evidence in their favor will capitalize on this. Even when these assumptions aren’t made, insurance companies and negligent parties may try to find any way possible to put the blame on the motorcycle rider. They might claim that the rider didn’t have the right safety equipment or might claim that the rider was at fault, or might even blame road conditions for the accident. And yes, while it is true that wearing a helmet for example can protect a motorcycle rider from a head or certain types of neck injuries, a helmet might not necessarily protect a rider from all types of injuries. Leg, knee, and torso injuries can be just as serious with or without a helmet. And while riders do sometimes make mistakes, all it takes is one illegal lane change, one left turn error, or other violation of the law on the part of a motor vehicle, to seriously injure a motorcyclist.
