There are numerous stereotypes about motorcyclists as reckless drivers, but insurance companies are aware that passenger vehicles are frequently to blame for motorcycle accidents. In addition, motorcyclists are significantly more vulnerable when car and truck drivers make careless or dangerous maneuvers on the road, and these drivers frequently do not look for motorcycles when changing lanes or turning. However, under California’s comparative negligence law, you may still be entitled to monetary damages even if you were partially responsible for the collision. Depending on how culpable you were for the accident, the court may reduce the amount of damages you can recover.
