Motorcycle Accidents: The Open Road is Not Always Paved with Good Intentions

Living in Los Angeles or the San Fernando Valley, Southern Californians forget that there are rural parts of the Sunshine State that are absolutely beautiful. Some city-dwelling Californians choose to take a break from the urban areas by way of a motorcycle, experiencing the natural beauty of California as they ride. State law requires that the biker take the necessary steps for safe riding. This includes wearing a protective helmet and utilizing a bike that meets certain standards. A motorcyclist with proper experience can confidently operate the vehicle, proceeding with caution as he takes to the road. However, there are certain aspects the motorcyclist has no control over. When the biker suffers an accident as a result of poor conditions that should be seen to by an outside party, the injured should speak with a competent personal injury attorney at Burg & Brock.

Poor road design does not allow the motorcyclist the reaction time to safely proceed. Inhibiting factors may include landscaping that obstructs the rider's sight, insufficient lighting, uncovered drainage pits, or a lack of signs that would provide fair warning. These are not suggestions, but requirements for various areas such as roads surrounding construction sites. When certain settings lack these provisions, the damage to the motorcyclist's bike and person can be critical. In these cases, there are certain local municipalities at fault. The personal injury lawyers at Burg & Brock will suss out the responsible entities and work to compensate you for the fallout of your motorbike accident.

If you have suffered damages from a motorcycle accident that occurred on a dangerous roadway,  contact trusted personal injury lawyer Cameron Yadidi Brock at the Law Offices of Burg & Brock. The practice has a 97% success rate and will aggressively work for you to reach settlement.
