Common Motorcycle Accidents We Handle
Motorcycle wrecks often stem from other motorists' negligence or unsafe conditions. We see recurring types such as:
Left‑Turn Crashes (T‑Bone)
Drivers often fail to see oncoming bikes making left-hand turns. These collisions can be catastrophic-head injuries and road rash are common.
Rear‑End & Dooring Crashes
Riders are vulnerable to being hit from behind or hit by car occupants opening doors suddenly.
Lane‑Splitting Injuries
Though legal in CA, lane‑splitting is dangerous when done by speeding riders or inattentive drivers.
Dangerous Road Conditions
Gravel, potholes, oil spills, or uneven lanes can easily cause a bike to lose control. Agencies may be liable for failing to maintain safe roads.
Driving Under the Influence (DUI)
Impaired drivers pose a major threat. Civil claims can add punitive damages to hold them accountable.
