• Distracted driving (texting, phone use)
• Failure to check blind spots before changing lanes
• Unsafe turns at intersections

• Impaired driving due to alcohol or drugs

Chula Vista's roads can present particular dangers for motorcyclists:

• Debris on roadways
• Poor road design or maintenance
• Inadequate signage
• Construction zones

San Diego County's typically mild climate occasionally presents hazardous riding conditions:

• Rare but dangerous rain events that create slick surfaces
• Morning fog near coastal areas
• Strong winds, particularly in canyon areas

Certain roadways in and around Chula Vista see higher rates of motorcycle accidents:

• Interstate 5, particularly the congested sections through Chula Vista

After a motorcycle accident, you may have several legal options depending on the circumstances:

California follows a fault-based system for vehicle accidents. This means the party responsible for causing the accident is typically responsible for covering the resulting damages. Working with Moseley Collins Law can help ensure insurance companies offer fair compensation rather than minimizing your claim.

When insurance settlements don't adequately cover your damages, a personal injury lawsuit may be necessary. Moseley Collins Law can help determine if litigation is appropriate in your case and guide you through the legal process.
