Motorcycle Accidents in California
Motorcycle accidents in California often result in severe injuries or fatalities due to the limited protection motorcyclists have compared to other motorists. Collisions involving larger vehicles, such as delivery trucks, can be especially devastating.
California consistently reports a high number of motorcycle crashes, with urban areas like Fresno presenting additional risks due to dense traffic and delivery vehicles frequently navigating city streets. According to the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), motorcyclists are nearly 28 times more likely to be killed in a crash compared to occupants of passenger vehicles.
For families affected by motorcycle accidents, the aftermath can be incredibly challenging, both emotionally and financially. Seeking support and understanding one’s legal rights can be critical steps to coping with such a loss.
