Motorcycles accidents in California are responsible for a high number of injuries. According to the California Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), there were more than 1,000 accidents involving motorcycles in 2018, 42 of which were in Newport Beach.
Statistics show that a motorcycle rider is 30 times more likely to be injured in an accident than the driver of a car. If you have been the victim of a Newport Beach motorcycle accident, Avrek Law Firm’s Newport Beach accident lawyer team will fight for the maximum amount of compensation you deserve.
Why Do Most Motorcycle Accidents Occur?
When making an error in judgement, either a rider or a driver of another vehicle can cause a motorcycle accident. Other situations may also contribute to a crash, including:
- Defective components on the motorcycle
- Improper motorcycle maintenance
- Bad weather or road conditions
In general, motorcycles have less stability on the road and provide minimal protection for riders. Motorcycle accidents tend to be more damaging than an auto accident, and the risks of riding a motorcycle can be great, so it is imperative that a rider carries motorcycle accident insurance.
