Motorcycle Accidents in California

Motorcycle crashes in California continue to be a serious concern on roads like the Pacific Coast Highway, Sunset Boulevard, and high-speed corridors like Interstate 15. Limited protection for riders means that even a low-speed impact can cause severe injuries. Many motorcycle accidents result from unsafe lane changes, sudden braking, or drivers failing to yield at intersections. Riders often suffer broken bones, internal injuries, or head trauma, even with protective gear.

These crashes often involve emergency responders and result in traffic delays, particularly in densely traveled areas near beach routes, college zones, or downtown areas. Recovery often requires surgery, physical therapy, and time away from work. Getting guidance from a knowledgeable California motorcycle accident lawyer can make a major difference after a serious crash.
