Why You Need a Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
Motorcycle accidents are often more severe than car accidents due to the lack of protective barriers. Injuries are typically more serious, and insurance companies may try to downplay the severity of your injuries. Our experienced attorneys are committed to securing fair compensation for your pain, suffering, medical bills, and lost wages.
Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries
- Road rash
- Broken bones
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries
- Fractured limbs
What should I do after a motorcycle accident?
Seek medical attention immediately, even if you feel fine. Document the scene with photos, gather witness statements, and file a police report. Contact an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
Can I still file a claim if the accident was partially my fault?
Yes, California operates under a comparative negligence rule, meaning that you can still recover damages if you are partially at fault. However, your compensation may be reduced based on your percentage of fault.
How long will my motorcycle accident case take?
The timeline for your case will depend on the severity of your injuries and whether the case is settled or goes to trial. On average, most motorcycle accident cases are resolved in 6-12 months.
Do I need a motorcycle accident lawyer if I have insurance?
While your insurance may cover some costs, an attorney can help you recover more than what the insurance company offers. We will work to ensure you receive fair compensation for all damages.
