Motorcyclists rarely get the attention from Bakersfield motorists that they should. Drivers should monitor all mirrors, blind spots, and the road ahead for the smaller profiles of motorcyclists. This focus is necessary to prevent a car or SUV driver from unknowingly veering into the path of a rider.
A mistake by a careless motorist can send someone on a motorcycle off their ride and onto the pavement. These multiple impacts can do severe harm to riders and even put their lives in jeopardy.
Motorcyclist Hospitalized After Collision with Vehicle in Bakersfield
A motorcyclist was badly injured after a collision with a vehicle in northwest Bakersfield Tuesday evening. KGET-TV reported that the crash occurred along the Rosedale Highway near Lassen Street on February 28, 2023.
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) responded to the scene sometime after 7 p.m. in front of Rosedale Middle School. They found the victim on the roadway suffering from major injuries. The victim was rushed to a local hospital.
The CHP has not released information on the driver involved. Investigators continue to examine the circumstances surrounding the crash.
Finding Assistance for Victims After a Bakersfield Motorcycle Accident
Motorcyclists forced into collisions can face long recoveries from injuries including broken bones, brain trauma, and spine and back damage. The recovery costs might almost instantly reach tens of thousands of dollars.
Victims and their families should never be expected to cover these costs when a reckless driver is to blame. Victims and their close relatives can file a claim for damages against the at-fault driver’s car insurance company to secure support for hospital bills, emergency response fees, and the lost wages suffered during recovery.
