Those suffering from motorcycle accident injuries need the experienced, results-driven legal counsel of Los Angeles motorcycle accident attorney Robert Mansell.

A motorcycle accident can have devastating effects. The damage to the motorcycle itself can be extensive if not total, resulting in lost transportation.

Motorcycle Accident Statistics

Motorcycle accidents are a frequent occurrence on the bustling roads and highways of Los Angeles. This is especially true for novice riders. Nearly 400 people were killed in California motorcycle accidents in 2009 alone. Thousands more are hurt every year, sustaining life-altering injuries like broken bones, road rash, traumatic brain injuries (TBI), and more, which can lead to lasting physical disability.

Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

Even with extensive experience and training, motorcycle operators can still face serious dangers from careless drivers, hazardous roadways, or faulty motorcycle or safety equipment. Vehicle-to-motorcycle accidents can occur in countless ways. Factors that can trigger motorcycle crashes are:

• Drunk driving
• Aggressive driving
• `Automobile driver negligence
• Hazardous road conditions
• Motorcycle defects

Negligent drivers pose a serious risk for motorcycle operators. More and more often, drivers casually navigate the roadways with their attention diverted, using cell phones, text messaging even when prohibited, eating, fiddling with their radios and iPods, even putting on makeup or shaving. Any of these situations can result in a harrowing environment for even the most cautious motorcyclists.

Hazardous roadways can also lead to serious motorcycle crashes. Debris from construction is a frequent hazard on the ever-evolving freeways of Los Angeles. Even the design of the road itself can make a roadway unreasonably dangerous for a motorcycle driver.

Motorcycle accidents can also be caused by a malfunction of the motorcycle itself. An electronic or equipment malfunction that occurs while a driver is operating a motorcycle at high speed can cause a catastrophic accident. Meanwhile, in the event of an accident, the failure of safety equipment, including a motorcycle helmet, can result in far more serious injuries than should have occurred. In either of these scenarios, injured motorcyclists may have significant legal recourse.
