How Does California Motorcycle Accident Law Work?
California law allows any injured or deceased person in a motorcycle and vehicle accident to file a lawsuit against the person who is responsible.
Legal responsibility is called “Liability” for a motorcycle accidents, with proof that is was their fault, even if they didn’t intentionally cause the accident. Negligence is proving that they operated the vehicle in an unsafe or unreasonable manner, and that is sufficient evidence to demonstrate liability.
