Causes, Injuries, and Death from Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Orange County

 

People who ride motorcycles are more vulnerable to serious injury or death than other motorists in the event of an accident. Although deaths resulting from motorcycle accidents had been on the decline since the 1980s, the number of motorcycle accident fatalities on American roadways more than doubled between 1997 and 2006 according to U.S. Department of Transportation statistics. If you or a loved one has been injured in a motorcycle crash caused by the negligence of another motorist, the lawyers of The Roberts Law Firm can provide you with the persistent, skilled representation you need.  We are dedicated to representing victims of motorcycle accidents in Newport Beach, Santa Ana, Orange County, and nearby areas. Motorcycle accident lawyer Jeff Roberts will fight for the compensation you deserve and help to ensure that the responsible parties are held accountable for their actions.

Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

The cause of a motorcycle accident can be complex and difficult to determine.  Motorcycle accidents take several forms, including runs off the road, head-on collisions with other vehicles, and the cycle going down in the roadway.  Factors such as speeding, disregarding traffic laws, alcohol or drug use, and similar actions on the part of either a motorcycle rider or the negligent driver of a nearby vehicle can contribute to a motorcycle wreck. Victims of motorcycle accidents that result from another driver’s negligence or wrongdoing may be entitled to compensation for their injuries.  Investigating and reconstructing an accident is usually a complex process; the more time that passes following an accident, the more difficult the process becomes. It is therefore important that, if you or a loved one has been injured in a motorcycle accident in the Santa Ana or Orange County areas, you contact an experienced motorcycle accident lawyer at The Roberts Law Firm as soon as possible.

Injuries and Deaths from Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents are often devastating to victims and their families. Motorcycle accidents frequently result in serious personal injuries, wrongful death, or disability, preventing victims from returning to work and supporting themselves or their families.  Because motorcycles are both less stable and less visible than passenger cars, they are more likely to be involved in an accident, and because motorcycles do not offer the protection of an enclosed vehicle, motorcycle riders are far more likely than car drivers to suffer traumatic damage such as spinal cord injury or brain injury.  Additionally, the number of deaths on motorcycles is about 26 times the number per mile traveled for cars, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
