At least one person was hurt after a motorcycle crash in El Cajon on Friday morning, August 14.

The accident occurred on Harbison Canyon Road between Patrick Drive and Tammadge Heights Road at around 10:28 a.m. A black Acura sedan collided head-on with a motorcycle along the highway. How the collision occurred, and the reason why it happened is currently unclear.

Motorcycle Accident Investigation is Underway

Local authorities are currently investigating the cause of the crash through the official investigation. Although a variety of laws protects motorcycle riders, motorcycle accidents are still an inevitable occurrence. Some of the common causes of motorcycle accidents are distracted driving, speeding, drunk driving, reckless driving, bad weather, wrong-way driving, and failure to observe traffic laws.

Motorcycle riders are more vulnerable to the dangers on the road in comparison to passengers of private cars. According to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) statistics, motorcycle riders have 16 times the risk of injury and 35 times the risk of a fatal crash in comparison to car passengers. To avoid sustaining life-threatening injuries, motorcycle riders are encouraged to dress appropriately and wear a helmet every time they ride their motorcycle. Wearing helmets were estimated to be 37% effective in preventing motorcycle deaths.

When facing cases like this, it’s essential to have an experienced San Diego personal injury attorney specializing in motorcycle accidents to conduct an independent investigation. Attorneys can utilize their resources to help prove the negligence of the liable party. They can hire expert witnesses, conduct background checks on the involved drivers, and review applicable insurance coverage for their clients.
