One of the most common causes of motorcycle accidents in California, in my experience, is vehicles making left-hand turns in front of motorcycles.

Bus accidents involve a unique set of circumstances and considerations, especially when pursuing personal injury damages as an injured party. In California, both private and public busses are classified as “common carriers.” This means that bus drivers and bussing companies are held to a higher standard of care than the average driver, as they “must use the utmost care and diligence for their safe carriage, must provide everything necessary for that purpose, and must exercise to that end a reasonable degree of skill.” (California Civil Code 2100)

California Disabled Persons are protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) including 42 U.S.C. section 12102, California Government Code section 12926(m), Unruh Civil Rights Act, California Civil Code section 51, et seq.

It depends on how intoxicated the person was. If they were found to be impaired, it could affect the types of claims that you can bring against them. If someone is so impaired that they are legally intoxicated, they could be held responsible based on the negligence per se. This essentially means that they have violated a vehicle code or a criminal statute, which makes them legally responsible for the accident. If that has been established, then they are automatically considered liable for a personal injury claim. The case will just be a matter of proving what damages you’ve suffered through your injuries.
