Injury Motorcycle Accidents in Los Angeles
Motorcycle accidents are a major concern in Los Angeles, with the city recording 120 motorcyclist fatalities in 2021, the highest in California. While motorcyclists make up a small percentage of vehicle registrations, they account for a disproportionate number of traffic deaths, often caused by speeding and intoxication.
After an accident, seeking medical attention, documenting the scene, and consulting a personal injury attorney is crucial. In California, victims generally have two years to file a claim, though circumstances may vary. Compensation may cover medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering. Staying informed and seeking legal guidance can help motorcycle riders protect their rights and recover after accidents.
