Motorcycle Accidents in California

Motorcyclists in California face a significantly higher risk of injury than drivers of passenger vehicles. Despite making up only a fraction of total road users, motorcyclists account for nearly one-fifth of all traffic fatalities in the state. Factors like lane-splitting, poor visibility, and lack of protection contribute to the severity of motorcycle crashes.

These accidents can change a person’s life in a split second. Here are some of the most common injuries motorcyclists face following collisions:

• Road Rash: When riders are thrown from their bike, the friction with the road can cause serious abrasions. Severe cases may lead to infections or permanent scarring and require skin grafts.
• Fractures and Broken Bones: Arms, legs, ribs, and collarbones are frequently broken during motorcycle crashes. These injuries can require surgeries and extensive physical rehabilitation.
• Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): Even with a helmet, a strong impact can cause concussions or serious brain injuries. TBIs often lead to long-term complications such as memory issues, mood changes, or cognitive impairments.
• Spinal Cord Injuries: Spinal trauma can result in partial or complete paralysis. These injuries demand lifelong treatment and significantly impact quality of life.
• Internal Bleeding and Organ Damage: Blunt-force trauma from crashes can cause hidden but life-threatening injuries. Immediate medical care is crucial to manage internal injuries.
