The Dangers of Motorcycle Accidents
While all types of vehicle accidents in Anaheim can lead to devastating, life-changing consequences, the risks are greater for motorcyclists. When you ride, you have minimal protection from the elements and other vehicles. Even those who are fully equipped with a top-of-the-line helmet and riding gear have just a fraction of the protection provided to those in enclosed vehicles. In a crash of any speed, a motorcyclist is likely to suffer far worse outcomes than those who are in a standard passenger vehicle.
Additionally, motorcycles are inherently less balanced than four-wheel vehicles. Something that would be a bump or annoyance to a car driver—a divot in the road or an uneven lane—could be enough to flip a motorcycle and throw the rider into the path of oncoming traffic. This can be especially difficult in a high-traffic area like Anaheim, where the streets and intersections see their fair share of wear and tear.
Why Fighting for Compensation Can Be Harder for Motorcyclists
Not only are you more likely to be involved in an accident and suffer more severe injuries, you may have a harder time getting full and fair compensation when you are involved in a motorcycle crash.
Why is that? Societal bias against motorcyclists is still incredibly strong. There’s still a widespread view that all motorcyclists are thrill seekers with no respect for the road or anyone else on it. This goes even deeper, implying that if a motorcyclist is injured in a crash, it’s likely because they caused the crash or didn’t take adequate steps to protect themselves.
This attitude on its own is bad enough, but you have to remember it doesn’t just affect other drivers. Some of the people with that attitude are the same people who will be handling your motorcycle accident claim—insurance adjusters, attorneys, and police officers who respond to the scene of the crash. Not only do you have to prove your case to the same extent that any other victim must, you also have to do enough to overcome that prejudice.
