A motorcycle rider was seriously hurt after a traffic collision in Los Angeles on Thursday morning, July 16.

The California Highway Patrol is currently investigating the case. They will attempt to determine the cause of the accident.

Motorcycle riders are more vulnerable to roadway accidents in comparison with a private car passenger. According to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) data, motorcycle riders are 16 times more at risk of injury and 35 times more at risk of facing fatal crashes. Some of the common factors why motorcycle accidents occur are distracted driving, speeding, drunk driving, reckless driving, bad weather, wrong-way driving, and failure to observe traffic laws.

When facing fatal motorcycle accident cases like this, it’s vital to have an experienced Los Angeles accident attorney specializing in fatal motorcycle accidents to conduct an independent probe. During the independent investigation, all possible contributing factors, such as road conditions, signage visibility, and road lighting, must be considered and thoroughly examined during the independent investigation. Attorneys can hire expert witnesses, conduct driver background checks, and review applicable insurance coverage for their client.
