Riding a motorcycle in North Hollywood offers freedom few other experiences can match. But amid traffic on the 101 and 170 Freeways, or crowded intersections like Lankershim Boulevard and Magnolia, that freedom can turn dangerous in an instant.
Motorcyclists face unique risks — and when drivers fail to share the road, the consequences are often catastrophic. At Djougourian Law Corporation, we fight for injured riders and their families across North Hollywood and Los Angeles County, helping them recover the justice and compensation they deserve.
Attorney Arthur Djougourian, founder of DJ Law Corp, is a Pepperdine Law graduate and trial-tested attorney who began his career at the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office Consumer Protection Unit. Just six months after graduating, Arthur won a six-figure jury verdict for an injured client — proof of his tenacity and commitment.
Arthur is an active member of the Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles (CAALA) and the CAALA Plaintiff Trial Academy, combining fierce courtroom advocacy with a deep compassion for injury victims.
Motorcycle Accidents — Los Angeles County Facts and Statistics
Motorcycle crashes remain a major safety concern across Southern California.
- The California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) reports that Los Angeles County consistently leads the state in motorcycle-related injuries and deaths, with over 2,700 collisions in a single year. (ots.ca.gov)
- The California Highway Patrol (CHP)’s Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) shows that unsafe speeds and driver inattention cause most motorcycle crashes. (iswitrs.chp.ca.gov)
- The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) confirms that motorcycle crashes are one of the leading causes of trauma hospitalizations among adults under 45. (cdph.ca.gov)
- The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that motorcyclists are about 28 times more likely to die in a crash than occupants of passenger vehicles. (nhtsa.gov)
These statistics make one fact clear: motorcycle riders in North Hollywood face real danger from distracted and reckless drivers every single day.
Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
- Drivers failing to yield during turns
- Unsafe lane changes or merging without checking blind spots
- Speeding or tailgating motorcyclists
- Distracted driving (texting or GPS use)
- Door-opening collisions (“dooring”) in traffic
- Drunk or impaired drivers
- Dangerous road conditions or debris
- Mechanical failures or defective parts
Even minor negligence from a driver can cause devastating consequences for an unprotected rider.
Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries
Motorcyclists have almost no physical protection — meaning even a low-speed crash can cause serious trauma. Common injuries include:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord damage and paralysis
- Fractures and crushed limbs
- Internal bleeding or organ injury
- Severe road rash and burns
- Amputations or permanent scarring
- Psychological trauma and PTSD
According to CDPH data, the average hospital stay for a severe motorcycle crash victim exceeds 10 days, often followed by months of rehabilitation.
