Fatal Motorcycle Accidents in California

Santa Cruz, CA - Man Killed in Motorcycle Accident on Hwy 1 at Waddell Creek

Thousands of lives are lost every year on California's highways, major thoroughfares connecting large city centers, local streets, and beyond. This is especially true for motorcycle accidents, which often cause catastrophic consequences for vulnerable victims. Furthermore, motorcycle deaths in California accounted for more than 15% of total motor vehicle deaths in 2016. That year, there was an 11% increase in motorcycle fatalities from the previous year, according to the California Department of Motor Vehicles.

These serious accidents causing injuries or even fatalities are an unfortunately common part of life in California. When victims are injured in a motorcycle accident, they may have to deal with other drivers' insurance companies, long-term physical pain, and expensive hospital bills. Oftentimes, as a result of these California motorcycle crashes, victims succumb to their injuries, leaving their grieving families to cope with emotional trauma and financial difficulties as a result of another driver's negligence.
