Northern California Motorcycle Car Accident Lawyers
Northern California Car vs. Motorcycle Accident Attorneys
Car crashes involving motorcycles are nine times more likely to cause injury than crashes involving solely passenger vehicles. About 75% of all motorcycle accidents include a collision with a passenger vehicle, and in the majority of those accidents, the driver of the passenger vehicle violated the right-of-way of the motorcyclists. In less common situations, occupants of cars, trucks and SUVs may be seriously injured in collisions caused by motorcycle accidents. Any accident involving a motorcycle and another vehicle puts a motorcyclist at great risk for serious injury or death.
The Northern California motorcycle accident lawyers at Estey Bomberger have handled numerous motorcycle accident personal injury and wrongful death claims. One of our founding partners, Stephen Estey, has been riding motorcycles longer than he has been practicing law. This hands-on experience gives him a unique understanding in determining liability and seeing an accident from a motorcyclist’s point of view.
Types of Motorcycle Accident Injuries
Some of the most serious injuries that can occur in a car vs. motorcycle accident include broken bones, spinal cord injuries, head injuries, road rash injuries, and internal injuries. The extent and severity of injuries in a motorcycle accident will depend numerous factors including the speed of the vehicles, the location of impact, and the type of personal protective equipment (PPE) a motorcyclist is using, such as jackets and pants made of leather, ballistic nylon, Kevlar or cordura, a full face helmet, gloves, boots and vests.
