California motorcycle accident statistics show that motorcycle accidents typically account for a disproportionately high number of catastrophic traffic accidents resulting in brain injury, broken bones, paralysis, and even wrongful death. Tragically, the vast majority of California motorcycle accidents were unavoidable by the motorcycle rider who was injured or killed, but could have been easily avoided by the other vehicle driver who caused it.
The lawyers at McNally Law Office understand the unique aspects of motorcycle accident cases, including:
- California vehicle laws pertaining to motorcyclists
- Accident reconstruction
- Roadway design as it relates to motorcyclists
- Motorcycle design and manufacturing issues
In most motorcycle-motor vehicle accidents, a negligent or inattentive automobile driver is at fault. Some of the common types of collisions include:
- A driver turning directly in front of a motorcyclist
- A driver entering the street from a driveway or parking spot and pulls out into traffic in front of the motorcyclists
- A driver's failure to yield at an intersection or running a stop sign or red light
- A driver's inattention while driving past a motorcyclist
- A driver's failure to look both ways when resuming travel after stopping at a stop sign
- A driver impaired by drugs or alcohol
At McNally Law Office, we help insurance companies, courts, and juries understand that motorcyclists have the same rights on the road as cars, trucks, and other motor vehicle. If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident in California, please contact us today.
