El Cajon Motorcycle Accident Lawyers

The warm weather in Southern California is pleasing and affords many the opportunity to ride motorcycles at their leisure. Sadly, the more motorcyclists there are means the more accidents there will be, statistically. Motorcycle popularity has risen over the past decade, especially in the Southern California area. In the year of 2013, statistics show there were over 100,000 motorcycle accidents alone in the Southern California area that year.

In 2006, The National High Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) found there were 5,000 fatalities during motorcycle crashes. Nearly 75% of those accidents involved another vehicle whether it be a motorcycle or car/truck/diesel. Since 2010, motorcycle accidents have only risen.

Automobiles and their drivers are sometimes unaware of motorcyclists on the road. When changing lanes motorcyclists often creep past their blind spot in odd places that make it difficult for drivers to see. This often results in accidents. Sadly to say, even much of the time this can lead to death for the motorcyclists. Accidents are not only caused by other drivers. There are many accidents in which the road conditions are not fair which often cause motorcycle to slip and skid on the road resulting in falling and sliding. Even so, the highest number of motorcycle accident are caused by car-on-motorcycle accidents. No motorcycle rider is safe when riding no matter the size of the driver or size of the car in contact.

Many injuries range from bruises, cuts, and scraps, to broken bones, burn injuries, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injury, and even death. It is always best to practice safe driving techniques such as wearing a helmet, safety gear, and gloves. Even so, there is not much to protect the body of a motorcycle rider. Almost all motorcycle rider accidents lead to an ambulance.
