What Causes Motorcycle Accidents In Glendale?

Riding a motorcycle is a complex skill. The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) requires riders to obtain special licensing and recommends taking periodic motorcycle safety classes for protection and to improve skills. Motorcyclists can put themselves at risk by riding too big a bike, not wearing a helmet, and not following traffic laws. However, the most common cause of motorcycle accidents is generally the reckless driving behaviors of others on the road. This includes:

• Speeding and going too fast for conditions;
• Running red lights and disregarding other traffic signals;
• Aggressive driving behaviors, such as tailgating, improper passing, and failure to yield;
• Distracted driving, such as using cellphones or texting;
• Driving under the influence of alcohol, marijuana, or other substances.

At Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, we hold reckless drivers accountable. While you focus on recovering from your injuries, our Glendale motorcycle accident attorneys focus on getting you the maximum amount you are entitled to in your claim.

When motorcycle accidents happen due to the reckless actions of others on the road, you have two options in seeking compensation. One is to file a claim against the at-fault driver’s insurance. At Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, our legal team can aggressively negotiate with insurers on your behalf. We thoroughly investigate all aspects of your case, gathering the evidence needed to ensure you get the maximum amount you deserve in any settlements. In the event the other driver is uninsured or their policy fails to cover all of your costs, our Glendale motorcycle accident attorneys can guide you in filing a lawsuit against them through the Los Angeles County Civil Court. This often entitles you to additional types of compensation not available through an insurance claim.
