Las motos ofrecen una sensación de autonomía y libertad. Esto resulta especialmente cierto en el soleado estado de California. 

California ofrece a los ciclistas muchas carreteras hermosas y mucho sol. Las motocicletas proporcionan una sensación de diversión y aventura que otros vehículos de pasajeros no ofrecen. 

Por desgracia, esa sensación de diversión y aventura conlleva ciertos riesgos. Las motocicletas no ofrecen los elementos de seguridad estándar de otros vehículos de motor. 

En un coche o un camión, los conductores están rodeados por un importante armazón de acero. Pero en una motocicleta, no hay nada entre el piloto y el entorno.

Por eso, muchos accidentes de moto acaban con lesiones que cambian la vida y son catastróficas. 

Si ha resultado herido en una choque de moto por la negligencia de otra persona, no espere. Póngase en contacto con un abogado en lesiones personales calificado en California para recuperar el dinero que le corresponde.

En este artículo, discutiremos algunas de las principales causas de accidentes de motocicleta y lesiones en California. 

Tasas y estadísticas de accidentes de motocicleta en California 

Los accidentes de moto pueden ser devastadores. Lamentablemente, estos incidentes no son tan inusuales como deberían. 

Según datos recientes, miles de víctimas sufren lesiones mortales en colisiones de motocicletas cada año. En Estados Unidos, hasta 50,000 personas sufren lesiones en accidentes de moto cada año.

Las colisiones más mortales de motocicletas implican a otros vehículos de pasajeros. Sólo el 45% de las lesiones mortales en motocicleta se producen en accidentes de un solo vehículo.

Es importante conducir de forma defensiva cuando se está en una motocicleta. Chocar con otro vehículo o perder el control puede tener graves consecuencias negativas. 

Causas comunes de accidentes de motocicleta

Cada colisión es el resultado de un conjunto único de circunstancias. Pero algunas condiciones de la carretera y del tráfico hacen que los accidentes de moto sean más probables.

Muchos percances de motocicletas son causados por conductores negligentes de otros tipos de vehículos de pasajeros. Los automovilistas tienen el deber de cuidar a los demás en la carretera, incluidos los motociclistas. 

Cuando la negligencia de un conductor provoca un accidente, puede ser considerado responsable de los daños que ha causado.

Las principales causas de los accidentes de moto y de las lesiones son:

Exceso de velocidad

Manejar muy rápido siempre es peligroso. Los automovilistas que conducen más rápido de lo debido necesitan una distancia media de dieciséis longitudes de coche para detenerse completamente. 

La distancia necesaria para parar o reducir la velocidad es mucho mayor si las carreteras están mojadas o heladas. Cuando los conductores van demasiado rápido, los motociclistas pueden sufrir lesiones si algo sale mal.

El exceso de velocidad es una de las principales causas de accidentes de moto en California.

Maniobras peligrosas

Cuando un conductor no señala antes de hacer un giro o cambiar de carril, puede tener consecuencias mortales. 

Antes de cambiar de carril en una carretera de varios carriles, los conductores deben señalizar y comprobar sus puntos ciegos para detectar otros vehículos. No hacerlo puede hacer que choquen con otros.

A menudo, los conductores no están acostumbrados a comprobar minuciosamente sus puntos ciegos para detectar a los motociclistas. Cuando conduzca una motocicleta, haga lo posible por mantenerte fuera de los puntos ciegos de los demás conductores. 

Este tipo de maniobra peligrosa puede hacer que los motociclistas que se están separando del carril también colisionen entre sí. El cambio de carril está legalmente permitido en California.

Manejar bajo la influencia

Además de ser ilegal, conducir en estado de embriaguez es increíblemente peligroso. Los conductores bajo los efectos del alcohol o las drogas tienen muchas más probabilidades de verse involucrados en un accidente.

Las siguientes funciones de manejo se ven afectadas por las drogas y el alcohol:

  • Juicio 
  • Visión
  • Atención
  • Tiempo de reacción

Cuando un automovilista conduce en estado de embriaguez, es un peligro para los demás en la carretera. Muchos accidentes de motocicleta son consecuencia del comportamiento peligroso de los conductores intoxicados.

Peligros de la carretera y el tráfico

Incluso sin la participación de otros conductores negligentes, los accidentes de moto pueden ocurrir. Cuando una carretera o autopista de California necesita ser reparada o está en construcción, los motociclistas se enfrentan a muchos peligros.

Los peligros de carretera comunes incluyen:

  • Baches
  • Asfalto agrietado
  • Escombros
  • Conos de tráfico
  • Señalética de construcción
  • Entre otros

En algunos casos, la persona u organismo responsable de estos peligros en la carretera puede ser considerada responsable de los accidentes que cause. Si ha sufrido un accidente como resultado de uno de estos peligros de la carretera, hable con un abogado tan pronto como sea posible.

Los motociclistas deben conducir siempre a la defensiva. Un accidente puede tener consecuencias graves y de por vida.

What Our Clients Say

Honestly can't say enough positive things about the Law Brothers! I got into a severe car accident at the end of 2016 and they've been with me every step of the way ever since. Almost 4 years! I want to thank everyone there especially Caitlyn, Shawn, and Yasmeen. They have been responsive, helpful, and reassuring and I don't know what I would've done if I didn't have the legal support that I was able to get along the years. They are super professional and really helped me get through this hardship in my life. I would definitely recommend!!!

Ivonne K.

Last year I contacted your law firm when I got into a car accident. the gentleman that handled my case, his name was Cesar. Cesar was very helpful and compassionate about my situation. He helped me get my car fixed very quickly and was super patient with me. He answered all of my questions and ensured me that everything will be taken care of. Once my case was settled I ended up getting more than I was expecting, which was amazing. I highly recommended Cesar and this law firm to anyone that needs help.

William Charlton

I was a client to the Law Brothers firm for about a year, the staff is really nice and professional. I would get updates on the case status and when I did call I would usually get a call back within 24 hours. I really appreciate the work that was done for me. I got the most out of my settlement and when I called to have a break down of the costs, Genesis was very patient and gave me a break down on all of it. I will definitely recommend this law firm to friends and family, as well as call them in the future if needed (hopefully not soon).

Erendira Landa

I had gotten into an accident and had no idea what to do. Friends and family recommended I get a lawyer since I was not at fault. I found this firm and I was beyond impressed. They handled everything for me from car insurance questions to finding doctors for me to visit. After my accident all I had to do was make appointments with various doctors to help with my pain. I give five stars because this firm went above and beyond and continued to follow up with me. I highly recommend if you are in need of a lawyer to use them.

The team at the Law Brothers we’re amazing! I am not the kind of person to seek legal counsel, but I was hit by a car while riding a motorcycle and the driver’s insurance was avoiding my attempts to get reimbursed. They were able to not only get a settlement that replaced my motorcycle, but they found me physical therapy which was close to my work. Now I am back to where I was physically before the accident and I am able to ride a motorcycle again. They were always responsive to my texts, calls, and emails. They even would systematically check to see how I was healing and if the support they linked me to was satisfactory.

Charles Mortensen

This law firm is a team of miracle workers! The Law Brothers Law Firm saved me from suffering at another law firm from Century City. My case manager Jonathan was able to gather all the details from my accident ( literally within a week! ) and keeping me updated consistenty to keep me at ease. They work diligently and keep at it until your case is completed. I went through a car accident that almost took my life away but thanks to the higher power and the Law Brothers, you won't even hesitate to choose them because I felt trust and integrity throughout my case and I feel happier in my life, which in my opinion, matters the most at the end of the day.
