Motorcycle Accident Deaths in California

Motorcycle accidents leave countless people injured every day in the state of California. Quite often, these crashes take place as a result of drivers who are reckless while operating their vehicles. Some of the leading factors and auto collisions across California annually include:

  • Distractions: There is no denying that the usage of cell phones and other electronic devices is a major contributing factor to a large number of accidents in our state every year. Regrettably, accidents involving drivers who aren’t paying attention to the road often result in serious harm to other people.
  • Speeding: Too much speed can cause drivers to lose control of their automobiles. Accidents are more likely to happen when people are going too fast, and when they do happen, the victims may suffer more serious injuries due to the force of the impact.
  • Switching lanes recklessly or weaving in and out of traffic: Those behind the wheel risk serious injury or death when they swerve in and out of traffic. The consequences for those involved in accidents caused by this type of reckless behavior can be devastating.
