Most Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in Bakersfield
As an experienced Bakersfield motorcycle accident lawyer, Sasha Bojat has identified the most common scenarios that lead to injury for our clients:
- Reckless turns on Chester Avenue
Drivers often miss motorcyclists at left-hand turns, especially during rush hour at the Marketplace shopping center. These accidents often result in serious injuries when vehicles directly cross the path of motorcyclists. - Suddenly changing lanes on Highway 99
Especially dangerous is the section at the intersection with Ming Avenue, where drivers often change lanes without checking “blind spots”, directly endangering motorcyclists. - Rear-end accidents on Rosedale Highway
During evening rush-hour traffic, drivers often fail to maintain a safe distance. Even at lower speeds, these collisions can be fatal to motorcyclists. - Dangerous conditions on Truxtun Avenue
Poor road maintenance, especially at the intersection with Oak Street, creates additional risks for motorcyclists ⁇ from sudden holes in the asphalt to scattered gravel.

Frequently Asked Questions
Seek medical attention first, even if you don’t feel injured. Call the police to report the accident, document the scene with photos, gather witness information, and exchange contact details with the other party involved.
In many states, including California, you can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault. However, your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault.
In California, the statute of limitations is typically two years from the date of the accident. Consult a lawyer to ensure timely filing.
You may still be able to recover damages through your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage if you have it, or you may be able to pursue a personal injury claim against the driver directly.
If you were not at fault, your rates might not increase. However, this depends on your insurance provider’s policies. It’s best to discuss this with your insurer.
Avoid admitting fault, get a thorough medical examination, document everything, and contact a lawyer before discussing details with insurance adjusters.
