Motorcycle accidents can be devastating. With little protection between riders and the road, even a low-speed crash can result in catastrophic injuries or death. If you or someone you love has been injured in a motorcycle accident in Whittier or anywhere in Los Angeles County, the Law Office of Thomas V. Perea is ready to help you pursue compensation and justice.

The Dangers Motorcyclists Face in Southern California

Motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable on California roads. Despite having the same rights as other motorists, riders often face dangers from:

• Distracted or inattentive drivers

• Drivers failing to check blind spots

• Unsafe lane changes

• Opening car doors in the path of riders

• Speeding or reckless driving

• Road hazards like potholes, debris, or poorly marked construction zones

These hazards, combined with the lack of physical protection, make motorcyclists far more likely to suffer serious injury in a collision.

Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries

Motorcycle accidents often result in severe, life-altering injuries, including:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)

• Spinal cord damage and paralysis

• Broken bones and fractures

• Road rash and severe lacerations

• Internal bleeding or organ damage

• Permanent disfigurement or disability

Recovery can involve months or years of medical treatment, physical therapy, and emotional trauma—not to mention the financial toll.

What to Do After a Motorcycle Accident

Taking the right steps immediately after an accident can make a big difference in your physical and legal recovery:

1. Call 911 and seek medical attention, even if you feel fine.

2. File a police report and make sure the incident is officially documented.

3. Exchange contact and insurance information with all parties involved.

4. Take photos of the accident scene, injuries, and damage to your motorcycle.

5. Do not speak with the insurance company before consulting an attorney.

6. Contact the Law Office of Thomas V. Perea to protect your rights.
