Injured in a serious motorcycle accident?
You will often see motorcycles cruising in and around San Francisco – they are a great form of transportation and recreation throughout the Bay Area. Unfortunately, serious motorcycle accidents kill hundreds of riders each year.
Motorcycle accidents in California or any other locale can cause serious damages, such as spinal cord and brain injuries, as well as death. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), motorcyclists are five times more likely to suffer injuries and 26 times more likely to die in a traffic accident than drivers and passengers in motor vehicles.
When involved in an accident, most riders do not walk away from the scene unscathed. When an accident occurs due to negligence, Avrek Law’s San Francisco motorcycle accident attorneys fight for victims’ rights to the maximum amount of compensation for injuries and damages in their motorcycle accident settlements.
Where Do Most Motorcycle Accidents Occur?
Motorcycle riders have much less protection than others in vehicles on the road and riders are subject to devastating injuries in a crash, and the California Highway Patrol reports that motorcycle fatalities account for 10% of those killed on California roadways annually.
Highways, freeways and even small country roads can all have dynamics that can lead to a serious motorcycle accident with injuries. Many different factors can lead to a motorcycle accident, but often other drivers simply don’t see a motorcycle on the road around them. Common causes of motorcycle accidents can include:
- Distracted driving
- Fatigued driving
- Failure to obey traffic signs and signals
- Unsafe road conditions
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
