California is a rider’s paradise — from winding coastal highways to sun-drenched desert roads, it offers some of the best motorcycling experiences in the country. Unfortunately, the state also ranks among the highest in the nation for motorcycle accidents, leaving countless riders injured every year.
When a motorcycle crash happens, the results can be devastating. Riders are often left facing serious injuries, expensive medical bills, lost wages, and the emotional toll of recovery. At Tafreshi Law Group, we are committed to fighting for riders’ rights and ensuring that injured motorcyclists get the justice and compensation they deserve.
Why Motorcycle Accidents Are So Dangerous
Unlike drivers in cars or trucks, motorcyclists have very little physical protection. Even with a helmet and protective gear, riders are vulnerable to severe or fatal injuries in a collision. Without seat belts, airbags, or the steel frame of a vehicle, the risk of:
- Broken bones
- Spinal cord injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Internal damage
is far higher in a motorcycle crash.
The sad reality is that insurance companies often try to downplay a rider’s injuries or even shift the blame onto the motorcyclist making it harder to recover the full compensation needed for a proper recovery.
Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in California
Motorcycle crashes happen for many reasons, often due to another driver’s negligence or unsafe road conditions. The most common causes include:
- Drivers failing to notice motorcycles in traffic
- Cars turning left in front of oncoming riders
- Distracted driving, such as texting
- Unsafe lane changes
- Poor road maintenance, potholes, or debris
In each case, the rider is at a disadvantage both on the road and when seeking justice afterward.
