Motorcycle Accidents in California
California, with its high number of motorcyclists and busy roadways, sees frequent motorcycle crashes. Urban areas like San Francisco, especially near major highways and intersections such as US-101 and Market St, are particularly hazardous due to high vehicle density and fast-moving traffic.
Common causes of motorcycle crashes include lane splitting, sudden lane changes by other vehicles, and failure to yield. Motorcyclists are more vulnerable to serious injuries in accidents due to their limited protection compared to passenger vehicles.
For injured riders, seeking immediate medical attention is critical, as some injuries may not be immediately apparent. Additionally, understanding legal options can help victims recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.
