The experienced legal team at\nHarsh Law is standing by to help you recover and seek the compensation you may\nbe entitled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prejudice against motorcyclists is common \u2013 even in\nCalifornia. Sharing the road often requires that motorcyclists use extreme care\nto avoid accidents. Sometimes defensive driving is enough, but collisions occur\nwhen there is a lack of awareness and respect for other vehicles on the road. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Motorcycles share the road with cars, trucks, SUVs as well\nas numerous types of commercial vehicles. Without the safety and weight of a\nvehicle, motorcyclists are 26 times more likely to die or be severely injured\nin an accident than people in passenger vehicles, according to the Insurance\nInformation Institute (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.iii.org\/issue-update\/motorcycle-crashes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.iii.org\/issue-update\/motorcycle-crashes<\/a>).\nThe limited protection provided by motorcycle puts riders at a much greater\nrisk of injury or death in an accident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because motorcyclists have little to no protection, even a\nmoment of negligent driving can be devastating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Common causes of motorcycle crashes include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Mobile\n     Phone Distraction<\/strong> \u2013 The greatest increase in accidents over the past\n     10 years has been the rise of distracted driving due to the use of smart\n     phones and other smart devices by drivers of passenger vehicles. <\/li><li><strong>Changing\n     Lanes Without Checking for Motorcycles<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Drivers are not always\n     as careful as they should be. When a driver changes lanes without looking\n     for motorcycles, they can collide with the motorcycle, causing devastating\n     injuries.<\/li><li><strong>Failure\n     to Yield<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Failing to yield is one of the most common causes of\n     accidents. While there are a variety of reasons these types of accidents\n     occur, they are generally caused by inattention.<\/li><li><strong>Failure\n     to Obey Traffic Signs and Lights<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Running a red light or stop\n     sign might not seem like a major traffic violation, but the reality is\n     this carelessness puts lives at risk.<\/li><li><strong>Road\n     Hazards<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Because motorcycles only have two wheels, the center of\n     gravity is not as stable as four wheeled vehicles. When roads are not properly\n     maintained, even small potholes could cause a motorcycle to lose control.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Injuries from Motorcycle Wrecks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Harsh Law represents victims of motorcycle accidents.
