Northern California Motorcycle accidents are an all too common occurrence on Bay Area highways. While motorcycle operators spend less on gas and enjoy the freedom of being able to easily navigate our congested highways, there is a trade-off. Riding a motorcycle can be dangerous, due mainly to the fact that unlike cars, motorcycles offer very little physical protection to their operators.

It’s no wonder that motorcyclists are more susceptible to serious injury when in accidents, be they caused by other automobiles on the road, harsh weather, defective products, or poorly maintained roads. Because of motorcyclists increased exposure on our highways, California Motorcycle Accident Injuries are often catastrophic. Victims can sustain broken limbs, traumatic brain and spinal injuries, road burns and in an alarming number of instances, death. In fact, statistics show that motorcycle occupants are 32 times more likely to perish in accidents than passenger car occupants and 6 times more likely to be seriously injured.

Our San Jose Motorcycle Accident Attorneys have experience dealing with the very special needs of motorcyclists who have been in accidents. The stigma associated with bike riders can cause many juries, judges, and insurance companies to be biased against a cyclist.
