Cameron Yadidi Brock offers Important Tips for Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month

LOS ANGELES, May 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- In the month of May in Los Angeles, the air is warm and the sun is high, which is why it's the perfect time to hit the open road. This is particularly true if, like acclaimed personal injury and burn injury lawyer Cameron Yadidi Brock, you enjoy the excitement that comes from riding a motorcycle. That's why it is appropriate that May is Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, an opportunity for motorcycle accident lawyer Mr. Brock to address some of the safety concerns that come from riding a motorcycle on the busy roads of Los Angeles. Mr. Brock is the head attorney at the Law Offices of Burg & Brock, Inc. and the auto accident lawyer Los Angeles residents trust to aid victims of negligence with impeccable legal counsel, and over the years, he has seen the devastating effects of road collisions firsthand.

Cameron Yadidi Brock always wants to ensure proper safety precautions are taken by motorcyclists as well as the other drivers with whom they share the road. That's why, if you enjoy the exhilaration of riding a motorcycle, the esteemed attorney urges you to follow these important safety tips:

• Be alert – driving while drowsy can impair your ability to react, and when driving a motorcycle, reaction time is essential.
• Inspect your motorcycle regularly, particularly prior to a long trip. A properly-running motorcycle is a safe one.
• Make sure you can be seen. Wear bright colors and equip your bike with reflectors if possible.
• Wear appropriate gear. Helmets, visors, sturdy leather jackets, pads and spine guards can go a long way towards protecting your body, your brain and your life in the event that an accident does occur.
• Plan your route in advance and coordinate with other riders when riding in a group. You can't check your phone for directions when driving a motorcycle and sometimes confusion can lead to rash, unsafe decisions.

Finally, make sure you know local traffic laws and rules of the road – and obey them. While it's true that driving a motorcycle provides a great deal of freedom, it doesn't preclude you from following the laws of the road. In fact, many of these laws were put in place in order to ensure the safety of vulnerable drivers on the road – and that certainly includes motorcyclists.

Of course, in the end, motorcyclists can only hope that other drivers will be as conscientious as they are. If you do find yourself the victim of a driver's negligence, you can always count on Cameron Yadidi Brock and his team at the Law Offices of Burg & Brock, Inc. to provide compassionate, expert legal counsel.
