 | MOTORCYCLE INJURIES More than eighty percent of motorcycle accidents result in serious personal injuries or death to the riders. The majority of these accidents are the result of a collision with another vehicle. Usually, motorcycle accidents are caused because drivers do not see the motorcycle riders. Many drivers do not see motorcyclists or they run into the motorcyclists when the riders are moving between the lanes of other vehicles, particularly in stalled traffic. This type of split lane riding is legal in California, and vehicle drivers are responsible for watching out for these motorcyclists. In other words, a driver who negligently hits a motorcyclist riding between lanes will be held liable for the cyclist's injuries. Because the motorcycle is an open vehicle and offers little protection to the rider, even minor collisions can result in serious injuries. If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident by the negligence of another driver, you may be able to recover for lost wages, medical bills, and pain and suffering.
