Motorcycle Accidents in Riverside County: Legal Representation for Riders and Families

Where and Why These Accidents Happen

Motorcycle collisions aren’t confined to one type of road. Whether it’s a busy freeway on-ramp in Riverside, a suburban intersection in Eastvale, or a winding hill road near Lake Elsinore, riders often have to react in split seconds—while other drivers often don’t see them at all.

Top causes of motorcycle accidents in Riverside County include:

• Cars turning into a rider’s path
• Drivers failing to yield at intersections
• Blind spot merges or unsafe lane changes
• Distracted driving or texting behind the wheel
• Road conditions like sand, potholes, or uneven pavement

Injuries Can Be Severe—and So Are the Costs

Because riders lack the physical protection of a vehicle frame, even low-speed collisions can result in:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
• Spinal cord damage and paralysis
• Broken bones, road rash, and severe lacerations
• Amputations or long-term disability
• Psychological trauma and loss of income

Recovering from these injuries takes time, resources, and legal action to ensure you aren’t left paying the price for someone else’s recklessness.

Your Legal Options After a Motorcycle Crash

California law offers motorcyclists a path to justice, especially when negligence is involved:

• Personal Injury Lawsuits can be filed against at-fault drivers
• Product Liability Claims may apply if faulty parts or tires played a role
• Claims Against Government Agencies may be possible when poor road maintenance contributed
• Wrongful Death Lawsuits are available to families of deceased riders
• Under comparative fault laws, even partially at-fault victims can seek compensation
• The standard statute of limitations is two years

Who May Be Liable?

Motorcycle accident cases often involve more than just the other driver. Depending on the crash, liable parties might include:

• Distracted or aggressive drivers
• Trucking or delivery companies
• Motorcycle manufacturers
• Construction contractors
• Local or state road maintenance departments
