Common Injuries That Can Result from Motorbike Accidents

California has a universal helmet law that requires all motorcycle drivers and passengers to wear helmets while motorcycle riding. This is to reduce the severe head injury and death risk. According to California’s Vehicle Code,
“Driver and any passenger shall wear a safety helmet meeting requirements established pursuant to Section 27802 when riding on a motorcycle, motor-driven cycle, or motorized bicycle.”
Despite wearing a helmet, motorcyclists are not as protected as motorists, who have safety features such as airbags and seatbelts in their vehicle. Due to this, motorcyclists have a higher risk of sustaining severe injuries if a motorcycle accident occurs. The injuries that motorcycle riders often suffer include the following:

How Much Is a Motorcycle Accident Claim Worth?

The worth of motorcycle accident injury claims varies from situation to situation. It depends on a number of factors. The primary factors that are considered include damages and liability. Damages refer to injuries and financial losses the victim suffered.

Liability refers to who was at fault for the accident. In order for a case to be successful, it must be proven how the accused party’s negligence caused the motorcycle accident.

Our intelligent and seasoned Newport Beach motorcycle accident attorneys help you precisely calculate the worth of your claim, including physical, emotional, financial, and medical damages.

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

No one is 100% safe from traffic accidents. Even the most experienced and safest riders are at risk of accidents. The negligent and inattentive drivers who ignore the surroundings often cause motorcycle accidents in Newport Beach.

Road hazards, such as potholes or loose gravel, can also cause motorcycle accidents. When these types of accidents take place, the state of where the accident occurred or government agencies can be held liable for the crash. This is because such establishments have the responsibility to maintain smooth and safe road conditions for the drivers. Some common motorcycle accident causes include the following:

● Speeding
● Driving while under the influence
● Road obstructions
● Lane splitting
● Failing to control the bike
● Unsafe lane changes
● Distracted driving

Establishing fault to file your claim in a motorbike accident is essential. The first thing we do after your motorcycle accident case is to establish accident liability. Your accident can result from a malfunctioning or missing traffic sign or light. If that’s the case, then the city or state agencies can be held accountable for the incident. If we find that this is the case, we immediately work on filing personal injury claims to the relevant agency.

If we find that the accident was due to vehicle failure, then we will go after the manufacturer when proving liability.

We assess your accident in relation to your medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. Then, we file your personal injury claim. We generally include the following damages while assessing the worth of your claim:

● Your past and future medical bills
● Punitive damages
● Pain and suffering
● Lost wages
● Potential earnings
● Consortium loss

Immediately following a motorcycle accident, call 911. The responding police officer and emergency medical staff will document the accident and the entire scene to develop a report of damages and liability. The medical and law enforcement personnel can also help move your vehicle from the road to a safe place to prevent further damage. Collect evidence, such as pictures of the crash and your injuries. Also, talk to witnesses and get their phone numbers. Get a copy of the other person’s driver’s license and contact information. This should be in the police report, but you will want to have a copy, as well. After you cope with the emergency, you must see a doctor and check for injuries. Then, contact our Newport Beach motorcycle accident lawyers to discuss your case.
