If you or a family member or loved one was in a motorcycle accident, you may be seeking a San Jose motorcycle accident attorney. There are an unfortunate number of motorbike accidents in the San Jose area every year. Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys is a motorcycle law firm that works hard to defend the rights of motorcycle riders, particularly riders who’ve been injured in an accident.

Why Motorcycle Accidents Happen in San Jose

The team of motorcycle accident attorneys at Russ Brown has been working to help riders who have been injured in a motorcycle accident for more than 45 years. In that time, we have learned which are the most common factors in San Jose accidents involving motorcycles.

  • Lane splitting: Motorcycle crashes will sometimes occur when riders slip between two lanes of stopped or crawling traffic. Negligent drivers are slow to notice these riders, and accidents can result. The practice is not well-regarded, but you should still seek legal advice even if you were lane splitting when you crashed. California is currently the only state in which lane splitting is legal, but prejudice against riders can still make it a problematic factor in cases.
  • Unsafe lane changes: Due to both the smaller size of motorcycles and the propensity for drivers to neglect checking their blind spots when changing lanes, it is sadly common for motorcycle accident injuries to result from cars changing lanes into the path of motorcycles.
  • Cutting off motorcyclists: Would you be surprised to learn that a full one-third of motorcycle collisions involving other vehicles are caused by drivers cutting riders off? Especially at intersections, drivers neglecting to check for oncoming motorcyclists in the roadway can cause accidents.
  • Head-on collisions: While rarer than the above, these collisions are the most likely to cause severe injuries or even fatalities to motorcyclists. More or less any head-on crash between a motorcycle and a larger vehicle will mean the rider will come off worse. Even wearing a helmet cannot always prevent head injuries in these circumstances.
  • Road debris: Any disruption in the road surface is a more serious matter for two-wheel vehicles than it is for four-wheel vehicles. Potholes, fallen rocks or branches, oil patches, roadkill, and more. All can lead to serious crashes in the wrong circumstances.
  • Speeding: The NHTSA says that thirty-four percent of motorcycle rider fatalities include speeding as a contributing factor.
  • Drink-driving: Similarly, more than one in four fatal motorcycle accidents in 2013 involved riders being over the legal blood alcohol limit.
