A driver crossed into the path of a motorcycle at an intersection the other day – killing the 25-year old Hesperia man after he was thrown from the bike.
The motorcyclist was rushed to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead a short time later. The driver of the other vehicle was also taken to the hospital for treatment. The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department is investigating to determine why this fatal accident took place.
According to the National Highway Transportation and Safety Administration, thousands of people are injured and killed each year as a result of motorcycle accidents. The chances of a motorcyclist being killed are much higher than those of an occupant in an automobile.
If the driver of the car is found to be at fault for this young man’s death, the relatives of this man should contact an experienced San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney and file a wrongful death lawsuit against the driver.

A motorcycle accident is not only devastating, but it can be brutal as well. Every year thousands of motorcyclists die or are severely injured. A motorcyclist can suffer a life-altering disability as a result of a crash.
In 2010, a Rancho Cucamonga teenager suffered horrific injuries from a motorcycle accident. He was found unconscious at the scene. Investigators are still not sure what caused his to crash – he does not remember and there were no witnesses. He sustained numerous injuries, including a traumatic brain injury, extensive nerve damage to his spine, arm and hand. He underwent nerve transfer surgery that took 7 hours and he remained in a coma for close to three weeks.
Today he is working hard to recover with physical therapy and speech therapy part of his daily routine. He is improving daily and can now drive himself to his doctor appointments; however, he still has limited movement in his arm and has trouble speaking. He is looking forward to getting back on a motorcycle one day.
Oftentimes, motorcycle injuries are tragic and result in long-term care, leaving the victim bedridden for months. If you are involved in a motorcycle accident, contact an experienced San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney who will fight hard to get the compensation you deserve.

Motorcyclists only have a helmet and a thin layer of clothing to stand between them and the asphalt. They do not have the protection that a 3,000+ pound passenger car provides, such as seat belts and air bags.
Because a motorcycle driver does not have the proper protection in the event of an accident, the injuries sustained can be severe and include surgery, physical rehabilitation, costly hospital stays, medication, and traumatic brain or spinal cord damage. According to the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration, motorcycle accidents have increased every year.
Motorcycle accidents often occur because of reckless driving, speeding or swerving from lane to lane on the freeways. However, in some cases, they happen because of negligent and inattentive automobile drivers.
If you or someone you care about has been injured in a motorcycle accident, contact a San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney who has been successful in motorcycle accidents and will fight to secure the compensation you need for lost wages, medical bills and pain and suffering.
