Motorcycle Accidents in California

Motorcyclists face unique risks on California’s roads—risks that often lead to serious injury or worse. Despite making up a small percentage of total road users, motorcyclists account for a significant share of traffic-related fatalities and catastrophic injuries statewide. With little protection in a crash, riders are especially vulnerable to road hazards, inattentive drivers, and unpredictable traffic conditions. Factors like lane-splitting, low visibility, and limited reaction time only increase the danger.

When a motorcycle crash occurs, the consequences can be life-altering. Some of the most common and severe injuries include:

• Road Rash: Sliding across the pavement during a crash can cause deep abrasions. In more serious cases, these wounds may become infected, lead to permanent scarring, or require surgical treatment such as skin grafts.

• Broken Bones and Fractures: Arms, legs, ribs, and collarbones are frequently injured when riders are thrown from their bikes. These fractures can take months to heal and often require surgery and physical therapy.

• Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): Even when helmets are worn, high-impact crashes can cause serious brain trauma. TBIs may result in long-term cognitive issues, memory loss, or changes in mood and behavior.

• Spinal Cord Damage: Injury to the spine can cause partial or full paralysis, dramatically altering a victim’s independence and future medical needs.

• Internal Injuries: The force of impact may damage internal organs or cause internal bleeding—injuries that often require immediate medical intervention and can be fatal if undetected.

In the aftermath of a crash, it’s essential to act quickly. Prompt legal support can help protect your rights, preserve critical evidence, and give your claim the strongest possible foundation.
