A motorcycle accident results in death or serious bodily injury more often than not. When a motorcycle crashes into a car, the bike rider is the party who suffers personal injury damages, because there is no metal cage surrounding their body to protect them from injury. Although the mandatory helmet law in California protects a motorcyclist from head injuries, the rest of the body is vulnerable to suffer fatal injuries. The family members of the motorcyclist killed in the collision may have a right to sue for wrongful death of their family member killed in the collision.
