Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in California

As mentioned earlier, many factors can lead to a motorcycle accident. According to experts, there are literally dozens of reasons for a motorcycle accident. It has been our experience as motorcycle injury attorneys that if the accidents aren’t the fault of the rider or another driver have three very common causes: 

  • Improper Mechanical Repairs
  • Bad Road Conditions
  • Roadside Construction Crews

What to Do if You’re Involved in a Motorcycle Crash?

It is estimated that motorcycle riders are four times more likely to get into a serious accident leading to serious injuries or even being killed as compared to vehicle motorists. Motorcycle accidents are surprisingly common, with many victims losing their lives. So, apart from riding safely, it is important that you be aware of your rights, especially if your accident was caused by someone else’s negligence or recklessness. 


If you are in an accident, it is essential to document the scene. You can make a video with your smartphone, and document what caused the crash. For instance, if you crashed because of a pothole, make sure that you document it. The same goes if you were hit from behind by another driver. Make sure to get lots of photos of their vehicle.


After you have recovered to the extent that you can visit an attorney, that should be your next step.

Our lawyer should then be able to advise you on the best course of action moving forward. 

Who Is Liable for Your Motorcycle Accident Injuries?

Every motorcycle accident is going to be different, and with it, who is liable. For instance, if you wiped out because of a pothole, then the city may be liable. However, if your accident was caused by a drunk driver who rear-ended your motorcycle, then that driver is responsible. In most motorcycle accident cases, you should leave it to an experienced lawyer to decide liability.
