Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in Bakersfield

No matter how cautious a rider is on the road, accidents happen. The most common reason above all others is because of a reckless driver, but known causes of accidents leading to the need for a motorcycle lawyer in Bakersfield include:

• Speeding
• Failure to yield
• Left turns
• Alcohol and Drugs
• Lane splitting
• Weather
• Distractions
• Road maintenance

We are long standing members of the Bakersfield motorcycle community, we want riders to know they can always come to us, but we mean it when we say - we hope you’ll never need a motorcycle accident attorney.

Helmet Laws in Bakersfield

California has a universal motorcycle helmet law. Every motorcyclist and motorcycle passenger, regardless of age, must wear an approved helmet. It is against the law to ride on a motorcycle without one. You can be fined for not wearing a helmet. You should wear a helmet for your own safety and to ensure that you can put forward the best case possible if you are ever hit by a reckless or negligent driver. Helmets protect riders against head injuries and they can also protect you in court. 

Injuries Our Motorcycle Lawyers in Bakersfield Can Help You Claim Compensation for

If you are ever in a motorcycle accident, you are 27x less likely to walk away from a crash alive compared to a passenger vehicle. Motorcyclists do not have the protection afforded to motor vehicle drivers and are less visible on the road. A motorcycle accident attorney can help you get compensation for the following types of common injuries:

Burns - Chemical spill, combustion or exposed electrical wiring cause flame exposure following a collision. Compared to all drivers, motorcyclists are most likely to see burn injuries due to more direct contact. 

Broken bones or fractures - Bone fractures or breaks typically happen as a result of the motorcyclist using their joints to absorb impact from the fall. While arms and wrists may be less severe, spinal fractures do occur and lead to extensive treatment. 

Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) - Head injuries are the primary cause of fatalities or disabilities resulting from a motorcycle accident. Riders are required to wear DOT-compliant motorcycle helmets for their own safety.

Even though experienced motorcyclists tend to ride responsibly, they can still face life-threatening injuries. As riders that have been on the road for decades, we’ve suffered injuries from reckless drivers and have dealt with the trauma that follows after. Our firm’s unique advantage: we know why accidents happen and how. We’ve won 99% of our cases. RiderzLaw will fight to get you the money you and your family need to pay medical bills and see the best doctors. 

How to Value Your Motorcycle Accident Claim

Motorcycle accidents may cause more than injury, often resulting in long term strain on physical, emotional, and financial wellbeing. An expert in motorcycle law will know firsthand how to measure the loss you or your loved one will suffer as a result of the party at fault. A Bakersfield motorcycle accident attorney can help you recover damages for:

• Medical expenses
• Lost wages or future earnings
• Repair or replacement of your motorcycle
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of companionship
• Accommodations of home or vehicle (related to injury)
• Lower quality of life

Regardless of the level of fault, a motorcycle crash victim should receive the maximum compensation possible. If the accident has caused an injury or diminished your quality of life, our Bakersfield motorcycle accident attorneys will work day and night for a settlement that is fair, adequate, and just.
