Motorcycle Accidents in California
California roads, especially in major cities like Los Angeles, are often the site of serious motorcycle crashes. Motorcyclists are at a higher risk of severe or fatal injuries due to their limited protection compared to passengers in enclosed vehicles. Even when wearing proper safety gear, riders remain vulnerable to high-impact collisions.
Common causes of motorcycle accidents include driver inattention, failure to yield, speeding, and dangerous road conditions. Intersections, such as Washington Blvd and S New England St, are particularly hazardous, as they present multiple points of conflict between vehicles and motorcycles.
Losing a loved one in a motorcycle accident can leave families with emotional and financial hardships. In fatal crashes, surviving family members may have legal options to seek compensation for medical costs, funeral expenses, and other losses.
