Motorcycle Accidents in California

Statistics show nearly 10,600 motorcycle accidents were reported in California in 2022 alone. These accidents leave thousands of people injured while taking hundreds of lives annually. Unfortunately, motorcyclists are extremely vulnerable during accidents. As a result, motorcyclists who are involved in accidents are more likely to suffer severe injuries that require medical care. Common injuries reported in these accidents include:

• Spinal Cord Injuries: Injuries to the spinal cord can result in paralysis. This paralysis may be permanent in nature and impact the arms, legs, or both.
• Internal Injuries: Impact can cause damage to internal organs, leading to serious, sometimes life-threatening conditions.
• Soft Tissue Injuries: Damage to muscles, ligaments, and tendons, including sprains and strains, often occur during motorcycle accidents.

Any of these or other serious injuries can require extensive medical treatment. Not only is getting medical care for serious injuries incredibly time-consuming, but it is costly. Medical treatment also comes with no guarantee of a full recovery. In some instances, victims have to go through rehabilitation, surgery, and other treatment for months or even years after their accidents.
