Motorcycle Accidents in California
Motorcyclists face a heightened risk of serious injuries in traffic collisions, especially on busy highways like Highway 237. Without the protective structure of a car, riders are more vulnerable to impact-related injuries, including fractures, head trauma, and road rash. Many motorcycle accidents are caused by factors such as driver inattention, failure to yield, and unsafe lane changes.
When motorcyclists are injured in crashes due to another driver’s negligence, they may be eligible to seek compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and other damages. California law protects injured riders by allowing them to pursue legal claims against responsible parties. Seeking medical attention and understanding legal options can be crucial steps after an accident.
