Over the years in my San Diego motorcycle injury law practice, I have seen numerous blind-spot accident scenarios that have contributed to California motorcycle crashes. In many cases, a motorcycle, bicycle, or scooter is traveling straight when a car suddenly makes a right or left turn directly into its path because the driver is not paying attention. According to statistics, nearly 50% of car-versus-motorcycle or bicycle collisions involve an obstructed view caused by sun glare, reflections, a vehicle’s roof pillar, or other blind spots in the driver's field of vision. As a result, glare and visual obstructions can create dangerous blind spots, especially on busy streets and in crowded neighborhoods. Other common types of accidents include U-turn collisions, rear-end crashes, intersection accidents, and lane-change accidents. If you have been injured in one of these crashes, an experienced motorcycle accident attorney can evaluate your case, explain your legal options, and help you pursue compensation for your injuries and other damages.
