Motorcycle Accidents in San Diego
The California Office of Traffic Safety stated that the number of fatal motorcycle crashes has increased by 153 percent between 1998 and 2007. It isn’t hard to understand why, when you look around at the astonishingly high volume of traffic on California’s roadways.
Injuries from motorcycle accidents are usually critical, sometimes even deadly. They vary from scrapes, bruises, and broken bones to spinal cord damage and traumatic brain injuries.
Motorcycle accidents often leave bikers as amputees, paralyzed, or with other forms of life-long disability. Just as the medical bills for a single minor injury are able to put a family under a financial strain, victims who will be disabled for the rest of their lives due to a motorcycle accident often must endure a lifetime of doctor bills and an inability to work.
