Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

Some of the most common causes of motorcycle accidents are either visibility (where the driver of a car did not see the motorcyclist) or the weather. Other causes include common types of accidents, such as when a motorcycle is rear-ended because someone was not paying attention.

The great majority of motorcycle accidents occur from visibility factors. Our lawyers experience this all the time on the highways here in California — traffic is going very slowly, and all of a sudden you see a motorcycle pass between you and the other car to your left or right. Often, those motorcyclists get clipped by vehicles making lane changes or vehicles that stray a little too close to the lane divider. Visibility factors can be due to darkness, especially during bad weather conditions — cars are sliding and slipping, and visibility is poor.

Types of Motorcycle Accident Injuries

Some of the most common types of accident injuries in a motorcycle crash include:

  • Traumatic brain injury
  • Spinal cord trauma
  • Broken Bones
  • Road rash
  • Head & neck injury
  • Lacerations
  • Knee & foot injury
  • Internal organ damage

Seeking Fair Compensation for Motorcycle Accident Injuries

  • medical expenses‚
  • lost wages‚
  • hospitalization‚
  • rehabilitative treatment‚
  • disability‚ pain and suffering
  • and mental anguish

Are There Any Special Laws that Are Enforced on Motorcycle Driver’s License Holders Only?

Generally, drivers have to pass classes to be able to drive a motorcycle in Chula Vista and other areas. They have to wear helmets. They have to have the right type of reflective gear. Other than that, there are no special laws that are enforced on motorcycle drivers.

Every driver of a motor vehicle in California has to obey the rules of the road, such as having functioning signal lights, taillights, and headlights. Those same rules of the road that are enforced on all drivers of motor vehicles are enforced on motorcycle drivers as well.

When the motorcyclists are passing slow or stopped traffic, there are special laws. For the motorcyclist to be able to obey the rules of the road and pass in between lanes between slow or stopped traffic, the traffic has to be moving at 35 miles an hour or less. That is why a lot of accidents happen when you do not expect a motorcyclist to be passing you.

    “He allowed me to vent, responded accordingly, and return my text message as if we were friends.”
    Through this very difficult period in my life, I reached out to the Legal Aid Society and they assigned a Lawyer to assist me in filing for bankruptcy protection. Andrew Sexton took the time to speak with me on the phone, he walked me through the process with detailed emails explaining what I needed to do in order to make the process go smoothly. He allowed me to vent, responded accordingly, and return my text message as if we were friends. Everything was conducted electronically, and on the phone, we never met in person…. Amazing. I highly recommend this firm with handling your financial issues regarding Bankruptcy. Thanks, Mr. Sexton for your professionalism and your due diligence in regard to my case

    “From the very beginning, they were professional and very efficient in dealing with my case.”
    I was in a car accident back in July and got rear-ended because some guy was rushing on his way to work, you would think the guy would want to save more time by not filling out a police report and dealing with lawyer stuff but I guess not. I went on Google and found the Sexton Law Firm. From the very beginning, they were professional and very efficient in dealing with my case. I had the pleasure of meeting the head honcho, James Sexton. He was very personable and reassuring in taking care of my case. My case was dealt within one year, he even helped me get the medical assistance I needed. The entire time the law firm sent out ongoing emails giving me updates and letting me know how long I would have to wait for a response from the other party.
    Everything worked out perfectly, In the event that I am ever in another accident, I would definitely hire this firm again to handle it. Do I recommend them? Yes I do!

    “I would highly recommend this law firm for anyone needing help!”
    The Sexton Law Firm was very helpful during the entire process. Andrew was very helpful and knowledgeable. However, Asia was the most helpful. She answered all my questions and relieved my worries about the progress of my case. I would highly recommend this law firm for anyone needing help with bankruptcies.

    “His council was well received, and it was honest.”
    I was referred to Mr. Andrew Sexton at a time of great need, confusion, and embarrassment. His council was well received, and it was honest, offered clarity, and calmed four shoulders worth of concerns. I would recommend that your consideration for representation would be met with the same regard. Very grateful for his time, knowledge, and resources.
