Staying Safe on Motorcycles in Orange County

Motorcycles are known to be extremely dangerous. It isn't the motorcycle itself that is dangerous, but the factors surrounding the motorcycle.

• Motorcycle Condition: Ensuring all parts are functioning properly, lubricated, nothing hindering their movements or potentially creating a hazardous situation.
• Road Ready: Turn signals, headlights, brake lights, no bulbs out, license plate, etc.

Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in Orange County

Motorcycle accidents, like many other types of traffic accidents, can happen in a split second. It only takes a moment of distraction or inattention. Some of the most common causes of motorcycle accidents in Orange County include:

• Failure to look for motorcyclists before changing lanes, turning left or entering traffic
• Running a red light or stop sign at an intersection
• Driving under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol
• Exceeding the speed limit or driving at a speed that is unsafe for traffic, roadway or weather conditions
• Driving while distracted
• Reckless or aggressive driving
• Dangerous or defective roadways and poorly designed street intersections

Immediately following the accident, seek medical attention as soon as possible. This is not only important for your health and safety, but it allows a doctor or medical personal to legally document your injuries with details and a date of occurrence. Later on down the line, if you do not have any medical documentation of injuries inflicted from the accident, they "never happened," and can dramatically affect your case.
