Motorcycle Lane Splitting Accidents Overview

Lane Splitting Accidents in California

While California motorcycle laws allow motorcycles to ride between lanes, also known as lane splitting, any accident that comes as a result of that lane splitting may be considered comparative fault by the state. What this means for bikers is that they may be judged partially responsible and the potential recovery could be reduced. For the drivers of passenger vehicles, it is also important to know the laws regarding motorcycle lane splitting.

Bias in Lane Splitting Accidents

Of course, bias does not mean that you should not have a right to recover for your injuries.
