The man and woman were pronounced dead at the scene, according to authorities. At this time, it is unknown if drugs or alcohol were involved in the crash
Fatal Motorcycle Accidents in California
Motorcycle crashes cause the deaths of over 500 people each year. A further 14,000 motorcyclists will have to figure out a way to deal with the tremendous amount of pain and suffering brought on by their injuries.
During an accident, riders are completely vulnerable, which considerably raises their odds of enduring fractured and broken bones, serious brain injuries, and crippling damage to the spine that will require ongoing and pricey medical treatments. To make things even worse, injured motorcyclists are often unable to return to work for months or even years as they try to recover.
If you are hurt or a relative dies in a motorcycle crash, you will soon be approached by insurance adjusters who give the appearance of being on your side but, in reality, are going to undercut your settlement. Agreeing to accept the first settlement an insurance carrier offers is never in your best interest.
Usually, insurance carriers offer the smallest amount of compensation to crash victims as a way to get them to terminate their legal rights and stop them from seeking additional damages.
