At Singleton Schreiber our goal is to defend your best interests, and work to fight for proper compensation during your recovery. - Does California have comparative fault?

Motorcycle accidents are typically caused by reckless driving, excessive speeding, or alcohol use. Motorcycle drivers are often not seen by other negligent drivers on the road, and this is usually due to the driver being distracted or from aggressive driving. This type of driving can increase your risk for an accident.
Riding at high speeds for the thrill is extremely dangerous. Hitting debris or taking turns too fast can cause you to crash and wipe out easily. Motorcycles are smaller than cars and this can cause limited visibility, making it hard for other drivers to see you. Motorcycles are also vulnerable to hazardous driving conditions or slippery pavement. - Is lane splitting legal in California while riding a motorcycle?
Lane splitting in California involves riding along the dotted line between two lanes on a highway moving in the same direction. It is legal for motorcycles to split lanes, and other drivers must not block a motorcyclist that is lane splitting. Lane splitting can increase your risk for an accident, and if you choose to lane split make sure you do this safely. Lane splitting can increase the chance of being side swiped, or cause a collision. - What is the difference between a motorcycle accident and a car accident?
Motorcycle accidents are more fatal compared to car crashes. Motorcycle riders are not protected by the car around them, and can be thrown from the motorcycle during the crash. Injuries typically associated with a motorcycle crash involve concussions, brain damage, road rash, nerve damage, bone breaks, and facial disfigurement.
According to the NHTSA 13 out of every 100,000 car drivers are involved in a fatal collision, and 72 out of every 100,000 motorcyclists die in a motorcycle crash. Motorcyclists are 26 times more likely to die in a traffic accident compared to a car driver.
