The hazards are documented by emergency responders every year. The Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS) found that there were 131 motorcycle collisions across Fresno County in 2019. Those accidents lead to a tragic 15 deaths and left at least 140 victims injured.

Assistance for Fresno Motorcycle Accident Victims

Victims in motorcycle accidents can have a long recovery ahead of them and to make things worse insurance companies can hassle them during this difficult time.

Insurance agents like to blame riders for any accident even if they know the person at the wheel of a vehicle (their policyholder) caused the crash.
