Motorcycle Accidents in California
California, with its high number of motorcyclists, sees frequent motorcycle-related crashes. Cities like Los Angeles, known for their dense traffic and complex intersections, pose increased risks for riders. Intersections such as S Indiana St & Lanfranco St can be particularly hazardous due to limited visibility and driver inattention.
According to the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), motorcycle accidents often result in severe injuries, as riders are more vulnerable to impact compared to passengers in enclosed vehicles. Common causes of motorcycle crashes include failure to yield, distracted driving, and unsafe lane changes.
Motorcyclists injured due to another driver’s negligence may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Seeking immediate medical attention and gathering evidence from the crash scene are critical steps for those involved.
