Fatal Motorcycle Accidents in California
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there were more than 5579 fatal motorcycle accidents reported in the United States in 2020. Here in the state of California, we see a significant number of people lose their lives as a result of these accidents.
There are many factors that can contribute to motorcycle accidents. Some of the most common causes of fatal motorcycle crashes in California:
Distracted driving: Drivers who fail to pay attention to the road around them are likely to strike motorcycles while driving through California. Given the size of these vehicles, it is common for drivers to miss them was switching lanes and engaging in other actions.
Inadequate protective gear: Even though a lot of motorcyclists wear helmets, they can still suffer severe injuries as a result of collisions. This is particularly true in cases where motorcyclists are involved in high-speed crashes, crashes with commercial vehicles, and multivehicle collisions.
Wrong lane choice: Motorcyclists often ride in the same lanes as cars, which puts them at risk of being hit from behind. If a motorcyclist is forced to switch lanes suddenly, he or she is more likely to be involved in a collision.
Lack of experience: When motorists do not have adequate experience operating vehicles, they may cause crashes due to traveling near motorcycles on the road.
