Why Motorcycles in Orange County are So Dangerous

Unlike other motorists, motorcyclists are more susceptible to serious injuries in an accident. The lack of safety features, such as steel frames, airbags, and seatbelts can leave motorcycle victims suffering from devastating injuries or death.

Some reasons why motorcycles are inherently dangerous modes of transportation include:

  • Only two wheels make a motorcycle very unstable in an accident.
  • The smaller and lighter frame of a motorcycle makes it more vulnerable to a lighter impact resulting in greater injuries and damages.
  • The rider has direct exposure to the pavement and the road in an accident.
  • A motorcyclist is more susceptible to poorly maintained roads.
  • Motorcyclists may zip in and out between cars.
  • Other drivers have a harder time seeing motorcyclists since they’re so much smaller than a regular car.
  • Other drivers may be distracted, which causes them to not pay as much attention.

Common Types of Motorcycle Accident Injuries

A motorcycle injury can physically, emotionally, and financially impact the life of the victim and his or her family members. Motorcycle injuries are often more severe due to the inherently dangerous nature of the ride. Some common motorcycle injuries include:

The Irvine motorcycle accident lawyers at the Law Offices of Samer Habbas will work hard to get you the full extent of the compensation that you need for the injuries you have suffered.

What To Do After Getting into a Motorcycle Accident in Orange County

The first thing you should do following a motorcycle accident in Orange County is to seek medical care and call the police. You want the accident documented, especially if you are not liable due to the negligence of another driver or a city’s roads. It’s also important for medical professionals to document your injuries. Even injuries that are considered more minor, like road abrasions or a sprained limb, should still be seen immediately. Otherwise, it can be harder to prove that those injuries came from the accident.

Once you have been examined by a medical professional, your next step would be to consult with an Orange County motorcycle accident lawyer about recovering your damages. The personal injury lawyers at the Law Offices of Samer Habbas can help with just that!

When Can You Sue in a Motorcycle Accident in Orange County?

Sometimes, motorcyclists get injured at their own fault. Other times, it’s due to bad roads, construction, poor weather, and another driver. There may not be an actual crash, for example, if the motorcyclist swerves to avoid hitting another car. This can be difficult to prove liability if that car keeps going on. That’s why it’s important to talk to witnesses and get a police report when possible. This will help prove the negligence of someone else, whether it was bad road conditions or construction, or another vehicle. If you get into a motorcycle crash with another car, be sure to contact the police to file an accident report.
