This accident is part of a disturbing trend – with motorcycle accidents and related deaths on the rise. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), motorcycle deaths soared by 5.1 % in 2016. And data from the Governors Highway Safety Association says more than 5,000 motorcycle riders died on the road in 2015. In California, motorcycle deaths represent 17% of all road fatalities.
But if you are the one injured or the relative of someone killed in a motorcycle crash, the numbers don’t matter. What matters is what’s ahead – costs of care, fighting with insurance companies, tracking down police reports, figuring out the future.
