Motorcycle Accident Attorneys in Newport Beach

Know Your Legal Rights When You Have Been Injured

The feeling of being on two wheels on the open road is unlike any other mode of transportation and the only way to travel for motorcycle enthusiasts. However, the openness of motorcycles leaves their riders at risk of serious and catastrophic injury in an accident. The motorcycle accident lawyers at Manning Law, APC help people injured in accidents caused by another person’s negligence or inattentiveness.

Common Motorcycle Accident Causes

Even the safest and most experienced riders are still at risk in an accident. Motorcycle accidents are often caused by inattentive drivers, who aren’t paying attention to their surroundings and don’t see the motorcycle. Accidents may also be caused by road hazards, such as loose gravel and potholes, which result from the failure of state and local agencies to maintain safe road conditions.

Motorcycle Accident Injuries

California’s universal helmet law requires riders to wear helmets to reduce the risk of serious head injury or death. However, motorcycles do not offer the protection of the frame of a car, seatbelts, or airbags. This lack of protection is the main reason riders are at higher risk of serious injury in an accident, compared with drivers and passengers in cars. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, motorcycle riders are six times more likely to be injured in an accident.
