4 Common Types of Southern California Motorcycle Accidents
Does it get any better than riding a motorcycle on the sunny highways of California? Our state is an ideal location to hit the roads on a bike. It is also a hotbed of motorcycle dangers.
Motorcycle accidents come in many different forms. Some of the most common types of crashes include the following:
Left-hand turn accidents: A large percentage of motorcycle collisions occur when cars are making left-hand turns. In this type of accident, the turning car might hit the motorcycle when it is going straight through an intersection, passing a car or trying to overtake a car.
Head-on crashes: Head-on collisions are far more frequent than rear-end accidents involving motorcycles. Unfortunately, they are also one of the most deadly kinds of motorcycle crashes. Motorcyclists are generally more vulnerable than drivers and passengers in cars. They have little to protect themselves when struck by another vehicle.
Accidents resulting from road hazards: An uneven road or pothole may be nothing more than an inconvenience for a car, truck or van. Yet, these road conditions can be fatal for a motorcyclist. Motorcycles are less stable than most other vehicles and when they come across a road hazard, it can be serious, even life threatening.
Fixed object accidents: A motorcyclist is not encased in “an armor of metal,” like a driver or passenger of a car. If bikers hit a fixed object, they are likely to be thrown from their motorcycles, which can cause severe, if not fatal injuries.
