What Are the Most Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents?
Motorcycle accidents are still one of the most common causes of auto-related deaths in the United States. In as little as 7 years, nearly 35,000 motorcyclists lost their lives in accidents throughout the U.S.

- Tailgating
- Bad weather
- Speeding
- Drunk drivers

Motorcycle Accident Statistics
Roughly 30% of motorcycle accident victims will sustain an injury to the foot or neck, while 22% will suffer an injury to the head or neck. Accidents mostly affect young men between the ages of 20 and 24.
The Importance of Wearing Protective Gear
While wearing the appropriate protective gear can make a life-saving difference, it is still possible to sustain serious injuries with:
- Helmets
- Goggles
- And elbow pads
How Long Do I Have to File a Motorcycle Accident Claim?
In California, victims of motorcycle accidents have up to two years from the date of their accident to file a claim. If you are unable to file your claim within this time frame, you may forfeit your right to seek compensation for the injuries sustained in the accident.
In the days following your accident, there may be important evidence that could be helpful in supporting your claims such as:
- Photos
- Witness statements
- Or police reports that should be collected as soon as possible
Many victims may be unaware of the important evidence that should be gathered. By contacting an attorney, you may be able to better understand your opportunities for financial recovery and how to hold the responsible party accountable.
