Motorcycle vs. Car Accidents in Ventura County
2
Riding a motorcycle can be one of the most
dangerous recreational activities as they are
most likely to get involved in a crash than cars.
So if you get involved in a motorcycle accident,
you may experience severe injuries and face a
very unlucky outcome. But what causes these
devastating accidents? Calling your Ventura
County motorcycle accident attorney should be
your top priorities.

Common Causes
Although similar things generally cause
motorcycle accidents and car accidents, there are
some particular differences between them. For
example, car accidents are often caused by driver
error, bad weather, and road conditions while
cars making left-hand turns, lane splitting, and
colliding with fixed objects are among the most
common causes of motorcycle accidents.

Alcohol is a huge factor
Alcohol is often a factor in many motorcycle
accidents. According to statistics, 1 in 3
motorcycle accidents is caused by alcohol
consumption. Only 25 of car accidents involve
alcohol. Also, motorcyclists are three times most
likely to get killed in a traffic accident.
Almost 50 of these deaths involve one vehicle
with a BAC of 0.08 or higher.

Average accident rates
Recent reports show that about 13 cars out of
100,000 are involved in a deadly collision. Also,
motorcycle accidents are more prevalent per mile
travelled. In other words, motorcyclists are 35
times more likely to get involved in an accident
per every mile travelled than a vehicle driver.

Common injuries
Riders are less protected than car drivers
therefore severe injuries are most likely to
occur. Motorcyclists are not protected by steel
and they are generally thrown from the bike
during the crash. Some of the most common
injuries sustained during bike crashes
include 1). Brain Damage 2). Fractures Of The
Pelvis And Shoulder 3). Joint and Muscle Injuries
4). Paralysis In One Of The Arms
