Orange County Motorcycle Accident Attorney

A common misconception is that motorcycle accidents involve another vehicle in addition to the motorcycle. This is not always the case as frequently a motorcycle accident is the result of the motorcycle driver attempting to get out of the way of another vehicle. This could be due to the other vehicle being driven by a reckless driver, drunk driver or distracted driver.

In an effort to avoid being hit the motorcyclist may ultimately be involved in a single motorcycle accident. The resulting crash does not automatically mean that the motorcycle operator was at fault. If you, or a loved one, has been hurt, injured or killed in a single motorcycle accident it behooves you to speak with an experienced Orange County motorcycle accident attorney.

Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in Orange County

It is common knowledge that riding a motorcycle also comes with risks that are not associated with other means of transportation. For instance, other drivers may not properly share the road or highway with a motorcycle as they do with other vehicles. It is up to the motorcycle rider to avoid being hit by drivers who may not be giving their full attention to the road.

It is common that in an effort to thwart an accident you may ultimately collide with other objects on the street or roadway such as: buildings, trees, parked cars, guardrails and medians. In addition, single vehicle motorcycle crashes can be caused by dangerous roadways, loose gravel, poor weather conditions and construction zone debris.
