Common Accident Causes of Sacramento Motorcycle Accidents

As riders, we know personally that a motorcycle accident can cause severe emotional and physical trauma. The majority of motorcycle crashes lead to injury and sometimes death. Those who become injured in a motorcycle accident face an uphill battle against biased policy reports and insurance companies. More than a million licensed motorcyclists ride in Sacramento every day and they deserve the same rights of the road as any other driver. RiderzLaw is more than familiar with fighting the bias that follows riders on the roads. Common causes of motorcycle accidents in Sacramento include:

• Speeding: Exceeding speed limits and reckless driving are the most common reasons for accidents.
• Drunk Driving: Driving while intoxicated causes a significant number of crashes. This is an even more grievous offense than just speeding, and the driver absolutely should be held responsible.
• Distracted Driving: More and more drivers are distracted on the road, and it's taking its toll.
• Dangerous Roads: Unsafe roadways pose exceptional danger to motorcyclists. If a government agency fails to maintain the roads, they can be held accountable. 
• Failure to Yield: If a driver does not respect a motorcyclist's right of way, the injured rider can file a claim against the driver.

We know that most accidents happen because of careless drivers. Experienced riders do everything they can to decrease the risk from driving carefully to wearing protective gear. The decisions of other drivers are out of your control and when they impact your life, you have rights to receive full compensation for any losses you’ve suffered.

Sacramento Motorcycle Accident Regulations & Negligence Laws

Immediately following an accident in Sacramento, you might not know which driver was responsible for the incident. Under the comparative negligence laws of California, the negligent driver is liable for injuries that anyone else suffered and this negligence can be devised by more than one party. Our motorcycle lawyers will evaluate your case and fight on your behalf to recover damages and show proof of negligence. Typically, a Sacramento motorcycle accident lawyer would need to present the following elements:

• The car driver owes a duty of care to the motorcyclist
• The driver failed to uphold that duty of care because of negligence, and
• The negligence of the driver was a major contributor to causing injuries

In Sacramento, there is no need to prove duty of care to a motorcyclist; in California, anyone who drives a car owes a duty of care to motorcyclists, pedestrians, cyclists, and other drivers. In other words, if the driver wasn't acting the way a reasonable person should have under the law, then that driver can be held liable for your injuries.

If the other driver violated a traffic law, he or she can be found "negligent per se" in Sacramento. Under state law, this can be presumed if the other driver has violated a law, an ordinance, or a statute. To show this, your lawyers must prove:

• The car driver violated a regulation, an ordinance, or a statute
• The violation of the above caused death or injury to either a person or to property
• The person who suffered the injury or the death was one of the protected members of that violated law

With motorcycle wrecks, negligence per se can occur under the following traffic violations (including but not limited to): speeding, failure to yield, distracted driving, following too closely, running a stop sign, driving under the influence, reckless driving, or poor maintenance of vehicle.

Your motorcycle attorney can consult with you on the laws that apply in Sacramento and to your case. Motorcycle accidents are most likely to occur on weekends and after normal business hours. We understand the urgency. RiderzLaw is available to answer your question 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Types of Sacramento Motorcycle Accident Injuries

Motorcyclists have limited protection in the case of a collision and severe injuries are more common. Common injuries that our Sacramento motorcycle accident attorneys handle include:

• Broken bones
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Severe burns
• Spinal injuries
• Cuts and bruises
• Organ damage
• Amputation

Road rash is another commonly-suffered injury following a motorcycle crash. Many people think it's like skinning your knee but over a wider part of the body. In some ways, that's true, but it's also underselling the injury. If your skin doesn't have proper treatment after road rash, you can suffer infections, skin irritation, surface nerve damage, and other forms of permanent damage. 

Protect your body on the road by wearing clothes made out of durable material, such as leather, and always wear a helmet with heavy boots and thick gloves. In the case that your accident causes injury, speak with a RiderzLaw attorney and we will get your medical bills paid.
