San Diego Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
Motorcycle accidents are common, due mostly to auto driver carelessness. Hopefully, if you were involved in such an accident, it was at low speed, you were wearing a helmet, and you were not seriously hurt. Yes, despite the accusations of some, that bikers are risk-takers who deserve blame for their own accidents, most of the time it is the other driver who failed to pay attention and caused the accident.
Things are only getting worse, as drivers text, talk on cell phones and are otherwise distracted from the road and careful driving. The very worst accidents are head-on collisions where a driver turns left in front of an oncoming bike, frequently at highway speed.
Injuries
You might be surprised to know that most injuries to motorcycle riders are injuries to the legs: the foot, ankle, lower leg, knee and upper thigh. Riders are struck by cars changing lanes, for example. Even if you fall off the bike, your legs are likely to hit the pavement first. Swerving to avoid collision, some will lay the bike down on the roadway, causing leg and feet injuries, lacerations and road rash.
Unfortunately, depending on speed and other factors, many riders are thrown long distances and land on the head, neck or back. There are no safety belts on a motorcycle. Even with a helmet, serious injury and death results.
