Motorcycle collisions happen when visibility lowers and it is often during late hours of the evening. Accidents are caused by drivers who make unsafe lane changes. The California Vehicle Code 22107 states that a driver shall not turn a car from direct course or make a right or left move upon a roadway until they give an appropriate signal and make the movement with reasonable safety.
It is more likely that motorcyclists collide with motorists that change lanes unsafely.
Any party hurt in a motorcycle collision may be entitled to money when they file a bodily injury claim.
Motorcycles can be Particularly Dangerous Vehicles
Motorcycle versus car accidents can cause minor injuries, severe injuries or even death. Motorcyclists have less protection and thus motorists should be more cautious. Liability for motorbike accidents is based on negligence and the riders are also to blame at times. Distracted driving, speeding, drunk driving, reckless driving, bad weather, wrong-way driving and failure to observe traffic laws are some of the causes of these traffic collisions.
While it is unclear in this incident which party is at fault, investigators will collect more details including witness statements to determine the factors that led to the incident.
