COMMON TYPES OF MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS
LEFT-HAND TURNS
One of the prevalent causes of motorcycle collisions is car drivers making improper left-hand turns, often due to misjudging the space between the car and the motorcycle OR failing to accurately assess the motorcycle’s speed.
LANE SPLITTING & HAZARDOUS ROADS
While legal in California, riding between lanes of slow-moving or stopped traffic can lead to accidents if drivers aren’t aware of the approaching motorcyclist or if the motorcyclist misjudges how much available space there is.
Also, while often overlooked, the significance of well-maintained roads becomes evident when considering their role in preventing accidents. Even a minor road hazard can result in a motorcycle collision.
DISTRACTED DRIVERS & RECKLESS DRIVING
Avoidable accidents and injuries are increasing due to individuals neglecting basic road safety. With phones being a common and consistent distraction, drivers often focus their attention elsewhere. The smaller sizes of motorcycles can go unnoticed to distracted drivers.
Reckless driving behaviors such as speeding, tailgating, and erratic lane changes pose significant dangers on the road, potentially causing harm to others.
COMMON TYPES OF BIKE ACCIDENTS
GETTING 'DOORED’
One of the simplest and most common types of accident for bicyclists. This happens when a car passenger opens a door and hits a bicyclist.
Even a seemingly simple incident can cause significant personal injury. Bicyclists are particularly vulnerable and not often required to carry insurance like most motorists. Thus, it becomes even more important to contact experienced attorneys like the Win Nguyen Law Firm to ensure your best outcome for any kind of resolution, whether the incident ends in a peaceful settlement or in challenging litigation.
OVERTAKING DRIVERS
These cases happen when drivers are trying to change lanes to overtake another driver, but end up rear-ending a bicyclist. These occur most often at night when it’s harder to see bicyclists.
Cyclists may take for granted that they take on more risk than other motorists who share the road. However, even with the added vulnerability, cyclists are not automatically provided the right of way for all scenarios, and may bear some responsibility in ensuring that they can safely travel alongside cars. Experienced legal counsel can help reinforce your claim to compensation in such accidents.
RIDING AGAINST TRAFFIC
This is the most common type of bicycle accident. Always ride with the flow of traffic; riding against traffic lessens both the bicyclists’ and the other motorists’ reaction time in an accident.
Many seemingly innocuous actions may actually end up hurting your ability to file a claim should you get into an accident, such as not wearing a helmet and other protective gear, riding on sidewalks when prohibited, or riding against the flow of traffic. If you need a legal professional to review your case, contact Win Nguyen Law Firm now to ensure that your claim has a strong foundation for the best outcome.

COMMON QUESTIONS FROM MOTORCYCLE/BIKE ACCIDENT VICTIMS
-
Get medical help immediately - even if injuries seem minor. Call 911, report the accident, and try to document the scene with photos and witness information. Avoid speaking to insurance adjusters before consulting a personal injury attorney.
-
California’s statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident. If a government agency is involved (e.g., unsafe road conditions), you must file a claim within 6 months of the incident.
-
Yes, you can still file a claim. However, under California’s comparative negligence law, your compensation could be reduced if not wearing a helmet contributed to your injuries. An attorney can help you understand how this may affect your case.
