Motorcycle Accidents

Were you or a loved one injured in a motorcycle related accident?

Understanding motorcycle related accidents

Every year, there are nearly 100,000 motorcycle related accidents in the United States. By nature, motorcycles provide far less protection than an enclosed vehicle, which often leads to “minor collisions” turning into serious injuries for motorcyclists. The Law Offices of Sylvia V. Gonzalez has a proven track record of defending victims of motorcycle related injuries, and getting victims the compensation to which they are entitled.

The most common ways motorcycle collisions occur are:

Rear end collisions
“T-Bone” collisions
Head on collisions
Collisions that occur while changing lanes
A driver not yielding the right of way to a motorcyclist
A driver running a red light or stop sign, and colliding with a motorcyclist
Drivers falling asleep and colliding with a motorcyclist
Distracted driving and colliding with a motorcyclist
Driving under the influence and colliding with a motorcyclist

Tasks that will distract a driver include:

Texting or using a cell phone
Changing the radio
Eating or drinking
Speaking with passengers
Reaching below or behind them in an attempt to grab something

Driving under the influence (DUI) may entail:

Having consumed alcohol
Having consumed marijuana
Having consumed a prescription drug
Having consumed some over the counter drugs
