Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycles are very popular in California and appeal to many different types of drivers throughout the U.S.  Although most people find motorcycles to be thrilling and stimulating means of transportation, motorcyclists are faced with added elements of danger on the road.  Motorcycles are far less safe than other vehicles when a crash occurs and are less visible to other drivers and pedestrians.  Operating a motorcycle requires a different combination of physical and mental skills than those used in driving other types of vehicles.  Motorcycles are also more susceptible to weather and road conditions, which in certain situations can be very hazardous.  People who ride motorcycles have very little to protect them from other vehicles on the road if a crash occurs and motorcyclists face an increased risk of sustaining serious and debilitating injuries during an accident.  Motorcyclists are 35 times more likely than car occupants to die in a crash, which is an alarming and sobering statistic that many individuals are forced to come to terms with.
