Motorcycle Accidents In Palm Springs, Palm Desert And Beyond
Riding a motorcycle is a popular mode of transportation in Southern California, but on the area’s crowded highways, it can be a risky way to travel. Some of the most frequent causes of motorcycle in Southern California include:
- Head on collisions, which leads in the highest percentage of fatalities
- Blind spot collisions, where the driver did not see the bike
- Cars making left turns, which accounts for 42% of crashes between motorcycles and other vehicles
- Speeding and alcohol impairment, on the part of either driver
- Lane splitting where cyclists drive between two lanes of cars
- Crashes between motorcycles and objects, which leads to 25% of motorcyclist deaths
- Road hazards, such as debris on the road, uneven lanes, and potholes
As a motorcyclist, you are expected to follow all traffic laws and speed limits, but it is often cars and trucks that cause these accidents. You still have the right to be on the road and deserve the respect of other drivers.
Consequences Of Motorcycle Accidents, No Matter Who’s At Fault
Traveling on two wheels is difficult if you hit a pothole, and even if a vehicle taps your motorcycle at low speed, staying stable and upright is challenging. Without the protection of a couple tons of metal surrounding you, you are at a disadvantage. Motorcyclists often find themselves subject to debilitating injuries as a result of these crashes:
- Fractures to arms, legs, and ribs
- Concussions and closed head injuries
- Spinal injuries including herniated discs
- Concussion and severe abrasions on road rash
- Internal bleeding and injuries to vital organs
According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, motorcycle deaths remain high even as automotive deaths have decreased over the years. The number of deaths on motorcycles is 26 times higher than in cars. Even when a cyclist is wearing a helmet and protective clothing, and has the vehicle fitted with proper safety equipment such as anti lock brakes, flashers and lights, accidents have the potential to cause great harm to someone on a motorcycle. California has a helmet law, which reduces fatalities by 37% and prevents brain injuries by 67%, but motorcycle deaths represented 13% of all motor vehicle crash deaths in 2013.
As with bicycle accident victims, victims of motorcycle crashes are likely to need trauma care, the help of orthopedic surgeon, and costly diagnostic test such as x-rays, CT scans, and MRI’s.
