Motorcycle Accident

image.png

Motorcyclists deserve the same protection on the road as anyone else. When a negligent driver fails to see you or share the road safely, the consequences can be catastrophic. Our attorneys understand the unique challenges motorcyclists face, and we fight to make sure you are treated fairly.

Why Motorcycle Accidents Are Different

Without the structural protection of a car, motorcyclists are far more vulnerable to serious injury in a crash. Road rash, broken bones, spinal cord damage, traumatic brain injury, and fatality are all too common outcomes. Despite this, motorcyclists are often unfairly blamed for accidents due to bias and stereotypes. We work hard to counter that bias with facts and evidence.

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

  • Drivers failing to check mirrors before lane changes

  • Left-turn accidents when drivers misjudge a motorcyclist's speed

  • Drivers following too closely

  • Dooring, a car door opening into a rider's path

  • Unsafe road conditions: potholes, debris, wet pavement

  • Drunk or distracted driving

California Motorcycle Laws & Your Rights

Lane Splitting

California is the only state that expressly permits lane splitting. If you were riding between lanes of slow or stopped traffic, you still have the right to pursue compensation if another driver caused the crash.

Helmet Laws

California requires helmets for all motorcycle riders. We will address any comparative fault arguments the defense may raise and fight to maximize your recovery regardless.

What You May Be Entitled to Recover

  • Emergency room, surgery, and rehabilitation costs

  • Motorcycle repair or replacement

  • Lost income during recovery and long-term earning losses

  • Permanent disability, scarring, and disfigurement

  • Pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life
