Why Motorcycle Accidents Happen in Norwalk
Norwalk sits in the middle of several major commuter routes in southeast Los Angeles County. With steady traffic moving through Imperial Highway, Firestone Boulevard, Norwalk Boulevard, and nearby freeway corridors like I-5 and I-605, riders often face dangerous conditions especially when drivers are rushing, changing lanes aggressively, or looking at their phones.
Most motorcycle accidents in Norwalk result from the actions of other drivers, not from motorcyclists themselves. Common causes include:
Failure to Yield
Drivers aren’t always used to looking for smaller vehicles like motorcycles especially at intersections. When a driver fails to yield during a left turn or pulls out too quickly, the rider often has little time to react. Busy crossings along Imperial Highway and major surface streets can make these collisions more likely.
Unsafe Lane Changes and Blind Spots
In heavy traffic, drivers may change lanes without checking mirrors or blind spots. Motorcycles can be easily missed particularly near freeway entrances and exits where drivers merge quickly or cut across lanes.
Distracted Driving
Phones, GPS, and in-car distractions contribute to serious motorcycle crashes. Even a momentary lapse can have devastating consequences for a rider traveling nearby.
Impairment and Speeding
Impaired driving increases the risk of high-impact collisions, and speeding reduces a driver’s reaction time often making it impossible to avoid hitting a motorcycle.
Common Injuries in Motorcycle Accidents
When a motorcycle accident happens, the rider is often left with serious injuries that can take months or even years to heal. That’s because motorcycles offer very little protection compared to passenger vehicles. Even a low-speed crash can cause life-changing harm.
Some of the most common injuries include:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries
- Broken bones and fractures
- Road rash
- Disfigurement and amputation
- Internal bleeding and internal injuries
- Soft tissue injuries
Motorcycle injuries can affect your mobility, your ability to work, and your day-to-day life. And while you’re healing, the costs of recovery can build quickly.
The Real Cost of Motorcycle Injuries
After a crash, the first bills can be astronomical. Emergency care, hospital stays, surgery, medication, and physical therapy add up fast even if you have health insurance. If your injuries are severe, you may also need:
- In-home care and assistance with daily tasks
- Durable medical equipment (crutches, braces, wheelchairs)
- Ongoing specialist care and rehabilitation
- Time off work (and lost income)
Unfortunately, insurance companies can be tough on motorcyclists. Many assume riders are “risky,” which can lead adjusters to downplay injuries or push for less-than-fair settlements. Some insurers may pressure you to settle quickly offering a number that won’t cover future treatment because they know accident victims often feel financial stress right away.
But settling too soon could mean missing out on what you truly need to cover all medical expenses and any future care. That’s why having an experienced Norwalk motorcycle accidents lawyer can make a major difference. We know how to push back against unfair assumptions, document your damages, and fight for the compensation you deserve.
