Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle Accident Lawyer for Riders
Riders don't get the benefit of the doubt from adjusters or juries — they're often blamed for the very crashes they couldn't avoid. We push back against that bias and fight for the recovery riders actually deserve.
How We Help
What to know about motorcycle accidents claims
The single most common cause of motorcycle crashes is a driver turning left across a rider's path or violating the rider's right-of-way. Other frequent causes include lane-change collisions, distracted driving, and dangerous road conditions like potholes, uneven pavement, and debris.
Motorcycle injuries tend to be severe: road rash requiring skin grafts, orthopedic fractures, traumatic brain injuries even with a helmet, and spinal cord damage. Recovery routinely includes emergency and reconstructive surgery, extended rehabilitation, and permanent scarring.
Juries and adjusters often assume riders were speeding, splitting lanes recklessly, or otherwise 'asking for it.' We invest in accident reconstruction, helmet examination, and rider-friendly experts to counter that bias with evidence. In California, lane splitting is legal when done safely — a fact many defense attorneys and adjusters conveniently forget.
Compensation may include past and future medical care, lost income, permanent disability, disfigurement (particularly for road-rash scarring), loss of enjoyment of life, and pain and suffering. Where a driver's conduct was especially reckless, punitive damages may also be available.

Frequently Asked
Common questions about motorcycle accidents
No — it usually helps. A driver's duty is to look for other vehicles including motorcycles. 'I didn't see them' is often an admission that they failed to look, which is negligence.
