Motorcycle Accidents in California
Motorcycle crashes are a frequent and often serious occurrence in high-traffic areas like Los Angeles. With limited protection compared to enclosed vehicles, motorcyclists are at a much higher risk of sustaining severe injuries, particularly in rear-end collisions like the one reported on I-110.
Factors contributing to motorcycle crashes include sudden braking, lane-splitting, distracted driving, and high-speed traffic conditions. Riders are encouraged to wear protective gear, maintain safe following distances, and remain highly visible to other drivers. Likewise, motorists should always check for motorcycles before changing lanes or making sudden stops.
Those injured in motorcycle accidents often face long recovery periods, medical expenses, and financial burdens due to lost wages. Understanding available legal options can help victims navigate these challenges and secure the support they need.
