4,778 people were killed in motorcycle accidents nationwide in 2006, and several years later, we can see this number is not going down. Approximately three-fourths of these motorcycle accidents involved collision with another vehicle, which was most often a passenger automobile. In multiple vehicle accidents, the driver of the other vehicle violated the motorcycle right-of-way and caused the accident in two-thirds of those accidents. If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, it is imperative to contact California Motorcycle Accident Lawyers as soon as possible.

Besides the causes of motorcycle accidents which are often preventable, the post-scene accident may be even more dangerous. Fuel system leaks and spills were present in 62% of the motorcycle accidents in the post-crash phase. This represents an undue hazard for fire. Vehicle defects related to accident causation sometimes occur and are likely to be due to deficient or defective maintenance, however product defects have occurred in the past and you may be entitled for compensation if involved in a crash caused directly due to a defective or faulty break or other motorcycle part or component.

A recent motorcycle accident occurred where Jeff Rupp, a government and philosophy teacher at Fullerton Union High School, was critically injured in a motorcycle accident. While riding his 2003 Harley-Davidson motorcycle in the northbound lanes of Euclid Street he was struck by a 2004 Hyundai sedan making a left turn from the southbound lane onto Malvern Avenue. He sustained head injuries and broken bones and was transported to UCI Medical Center.

If involved in a California motorcycle accident, you will usually end up being approached by an insurance provider to speak about your incident. Your insurance company will want to have a recorded declaration or even draw diagrams having to do with the crash. Without having a skilled motorcycle lawyer by your side, this specific questioning by the insurance company can certainly highly impact and possibly devastate your court case.
