California Motorcycle Accident Lawyers

Why Motorcycle Accident Cases Require Special Attention

Motorcycle accident cases are not just smaller versions of car accident claims. They often involve:

• Severe injuries that require long-term medical care
• Bias against riders from insurance companies and juries
• Complex accident reconstruction to prove fault
• Multiple possible causes such as driver negligence, poor road conditions, or defective parts

Our legal team has the experience to overcome these challenges and build a compelling case for full compensation.

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in California

Motorcycle crashes can happen in an instant. Some of the most common causes include:

• Drivers failing to see motorcycles when changing lanes or turning
• Distracted driving from texting, eating, or other in-car activities
• Speeding or aggressive driving that leaves riders with no time to react
• Hazardous road conditions like potholes, loose gravel, or debris
• Vehicle defects that cause brake or tire failures

Identifying the cause of your accident is a crucial step toward proving liability and securing compensation.

Typical Injuries in Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accident injuries are often severe, even in low-speed crashes. Our clients frequently suffer:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
• Road rash and severe skin damage
• Broken bones and fractures
• Internal bleeding and organ damage
• Amputations

These injuries can result in permanent disability, ongoing medical expenses, and major lifestyle changes.

What to Do After a Motorcycle Accident

Your actions immediately after a motorcycle crash can impact your health and your legal case:

1. Get medical attention immediately – Even if you feel fine, some injuries may not be apparent right away.
2. Call law enforcement – A police report will help document the facts of the crash.
3. Collect evidence – Take photos, get witness contact information, and save your riding gear.
4. Do not admit fault – Even casual statements can be used against you.
5. Contact an attorney – An experienced motorcycle accident lawyer can protect your rights from the start.

Recoverable Damages for Motorcycle Accident Victims

Depending on your injuries and the details of your case, you may be entitled to compensation for:

• Medical bills and future treatment costs
• Lost wages and reduced earning potential
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Property damage to your motorcycle and gear

In cases of reckless or intentional wrongdoing, punitive damages may also be available.
