Los Angeles Motorcycle Accident Attorneys

There has been a rash of motorcycle accidents and deaths since 1997. The appeal of motorcycles has long been documented. Riding a motorcycle on the open road can represent freedom and individuality. It’s no wonder that the number of motorcycle registrations in the U.S. continues to rise each year. The inherent dangers involved with riding motorcycles, however, have not changed. In fact, according to recent statistics released by the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA), 4,008 motorcyclists died in the United States in 2004 alone and 76,000 were injured. Half of all motorcycles involved in the fatal crash collided with another vehicle.

All too often, careless operation of vehicles and drive negligence are the cause of these motorcycle accidents. One study claims that as many as two-thirds of motorcycle accidents were a direct result of an automobile driver crashing into a motorcycle. The main cause of such accidents is the driver’s failure to allow the motorcycle to make lane changes. Some drivers also fail to check their blind spots or in their eagerness to make a U-turn or a left turn and in the process, don’t spot an oncoming motorcyclist.

Still, motorcycle accidents may occur because of other factors such as defective or malfunctioning motorcycle parts, poor maintenance, dangerous road conditions such as potholes or a spilled load from another automobile or truck. Motorcycle accident cases are complex because of the time and expertise it takes to properly investigate them. It often requires the services of a Los Angeles personal injury attorney with extensive litigation experience and a successful track record with motorcycle accident cases.

As with any accident, securing the evidence is key. The vehicle itself is most likely your best, and main, piece of evidence. Only a skilled, experienced Los Angeles motorcycle crash lawyer will have the know how to conduct a thorough investigation to obtain the best possible result for your case. In some cases, a government agency may be held liable for improper maintenance of a roadway. Quick investigation and action is a must in accident cases.
