Motorcyclists may face many dangers on the road, ranging from reckless drivers in other vehicles to natural occurrences such as high wind or heavy rain. Because the size of the motorcycle is relatively small, it may easily be carried by the wind over the highway or over the edge of the road. Other drivers owe motorcycle drivers the same courtesy as other vehicles and both drivers in cars and motorcycle riders may be faced with liability if there is an accident that happens. For example, if a motorcyclist decides to weave in and out of lanes in order to avoid traffic, but ends up in an accident, he may be responsible for the damages.

On June 13, 2009, a motorcyclist was killed in a crash on Highway 880 in Fremont at the Mission Boulevard exit. The accident occurred around 9:15 p.m. and the motorcyclist, Jomarc Demesa was taken to the hospital, but later died from his injuries. The Mission Boulevard off-ramp was closed for more than an hour, and police are still investigating the incident. If the crash was caused by another vehicle acting negligently or recklessly, then Demesa’s family may be able to recover damages for wrongful death. However, cases such as these take a lot of time to investigate and depend on the specific circumstances of each case.
