About Motorcycle Accidents In LA

Motorcycle accidents are nothing short of devastating and often result in life-changing circumstances for everyone involved. Regardless of how responsible and safe the motorcycle rider is, all it takes is one wrong move or one distracted driver to cause a serious accident. It also doesn’t help that California is the only state that does not have any laws in place that prohibit lane splitting, which is when bikers weave in and out of slow moving or stopped traffic.

The Barnes Firm is here serving nearby cities: Anaheim, Orange County, Glendale, Burbank, Hawthorne, Santa Monica, Torrance, Inglewood, Huntington Park, Long Beach, Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks, Oxnard, Pasadena, Santa Ana, San Bernardino, Rancho Cucamonga, Ontario, Irvine, and more…

What To Know About Motorcycle Accidents

California Law and Cyclists

The state of California has more roads listed in the “top 100 motorcycle roads” than any other state, according to website MotorcycleRoads.com. So it’s no surprise that Los Angeles residents are attracted to motorcycling. Anyone that has ever lived or visited this beautiful West Coast state can attest to its inviting climate, breathtaking views, and thrilling highways. And it is because of this that California also has more motorcycle crashes than any other state. In Los Angeles County alone, California’s Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) show there were over 3,500 collisions in 2013 in which a cyclist was injured during a collision. Which leads our lawyers to ask the question:

Does California law hurt bikers?

While there are many laws in place to keep cyclists safe on the busy Los Angeles roads, there is one law of particular concern to our injury lawyers here at The Barnes law firm, and that is the legality of lane-splitting. As we previously mentioned, lane-splitting is illegal in every other state except in California. What’s more, California does not track how often accidents that involve lane-splitting occur, making it nearly impossible to gauge how safe or unsafe the maneuver really is. Motorcycle safety specialists like to think that motorcycle accidents and collisions typically happen when someone is doing something wrong, and because lane-splitting is not prohibited in California, it’s essentially not wrong.

Legal Help for Los Angeles Motorcycle Accidents

Given bikers’ lack of visibility, stability, and protection compared to its the other vehicles on the roads, getting into a motorcycle accident is much more likely. In addition to this, motorcycle crashes are often far more serious than other road accidents, resulting in paralyzing injuries and sometimes death.

Here are some leading reasons why motorcycle accidents occur:

  • Speeding
  • Tailgating
  • Inexperienced drivers
  • Alcohol & drugs
  • Poor road and weather conditions
  • Distractions (phone calls, texting, etc.)
  • Failure to wear protective gear
  • Weaving in and out of traffic
