Injury Motorcycle Accidents in Los Angeles
Motorcycle accidents in Los Angeles remain a major safety concern, with a significant number of crashes leading to injuries and fatalities each year. In 2021, there were 942 motorcycle collisions in the city, resulting in 53 deaths and 346 severe injuries. Motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable on the road, being 22 times more likely to suffer fatal injuries than car occupants. The most common causes of these accidents include left-turn collisions, lane splitting, speeding, reckless driving, and impaired driving. Additionally, road hazards like potholes and debris can disproportionately affect motorcyclists, further increasing the risk.
To prevent motorcycle accidents, it’s crucial for riders to wear protective gear, remain visible, and avoid riding under the influence. Drivers should also be cautious and aware of motorcyclists, especially when changing lanes or turning. In the unfortunate event of an accident, motorcyclists should seek medical attention immediately, even for minor injuries, and consult a personal injury attorney to explore their legal options for compensation.
