Injured in a motorcycle accident? Our experienced motorcycle injury attorneys have recovered $50,000,000+ for injured riders. We understand the unique challenges motorcyclists face and fight aggressively against insurance companies that try to blame riders for accidents.
Motorcycle accident cases are fundamentally different from car accident cases. Insurance companies and juries often have biases against motorcyclists, assuming riders are reckless or at fault. You need an attorney who understands motorcycle dynamics, knows how to counter these biases, and has a proven track record of success with motorcycle injury cases.
Insurance adjusters routinely try to blame motorcyclists for accidents, even when the other driver was clearly at fault. They exploit stereotypes about “dangerous” riders to minimize payouts.
Motorcycle accidents result in far more severe injuries than car accidents. Medical costs can reach hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars, requiring expert calculation of future needs.
Motorcycle accidents may involve multiple liable parties—negligent drivers, government entities responsible for road conditions, motorcycle manufacturers, or helmet makers.

Motorcycle accidents often result in severe, life-changing injuries. Our attorneys have extensive experience handling cases involving these catastrophic injuries and know how to maximize compensation.
Even with helmets, motorcycle riders face high risk of concussions, skull fractures, and severe brain trauma. TBI can cause permanent cognitive impairment, memory loss, and personality changes.
Motorcycle accidents commonly cause compound fractures to legs, arms, pelvis, and ribs. Multiple surgeries and extensive rehabilitation are often required.
Severe road rash can penetrate through skin layers to muscle and bone, requiring skin grafts and causing permanent scarring and disfigurement.
Motorcycle crashes can cause partial or complete paralysis. Spinal cord damage often results in lifelong disability and astronomical medical costs.
The force of impact can cause internal bleeding, ruptured organs, and damage to the liver, spleen, kidneys, or lungs requiring emergency surgery.
Severe motorcycle accidents can result in traumatic amputation or injuries so severe that surgical amputation becomes necessary.
Our motorcycle accident attorneys have successfully handled thousands of cases involving every type of motorcycle crash. We know the unique factors that contribute to each type of accident and how to prove liability.
The most common type of motorcycle accident occurs when a car makes a left turn in front of an oncoming motorcycle. Drivers often fail to see motorcycles or misjudge their speed.
Motorcycles often fall into vehicle blind spots. Negligent drivers who fail to check mirrors before changing lanes cause devastating side-impact crashes.
When a distracted or tailgating driver rear-ends a motorcycle, the rider is often thrown from the bike, causing catastrophic injuries or death.
Head-on crashes between motorcycles and cars are often fatal. These occur when vehicles cross the center line or travel the wrong way.
Potholes, debris, uneven pavement, and oil slicks pose extreme dangers to motorcyclists. Government entities or property owners may be liable.
While lane splitting is legal in California, accidents can occur when drivers unexpectedly change lanes or open doors without checking for motorcycles.
Our track record speaks for itself. Here are some of our recent motorcycle accident case results. While every case is different, these demonstrate our ability to achieve substantial compensation for injured riders.

The value of your motorcycle accident case depends on several factors including the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term disability. Motorcycle accident settlements typically range from $50,000 to several million dollars. Cases involving traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, or wrongful death often result in settlements exceeding $1 million. Our attorneys will thoroughly evaluate your case to determine its full value.
First, seek medical attention even if you feel fine—adrenaline can mask serious injuries. Call 911 to report the accident. Document the scene with photos of your motorcycle, the other vehicle, road conditions, and your injuries. Get contact information from witnesses. Do not admit fault or give recorded statements to insurance companies. Contact a motorcycle accident attorney before speaking with any insurance adjuster.
Yes, you can still recover compensation even if you were not wearing a helmet. California follows comparative negligence rules, meaning your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault. However, not wearing a helmet does not mean you caused the accident. The other driver can still be held liable for their negligence in causing the crash.
In California, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. If a government entity is involved, you may have only six months to file a claim. However, evidence deteriorates over time, witnesses forget details, and insurance companies may try to settle quickly for less than you deserve. Contact an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
If you were hit by an uninsured or hit-and-run driver, you may still be able to recover compensation through your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. California requires insurance companies to offer UM/UIM coverage. Our attorneys can help you navigate claims against your own insurance company and maximize your recovery.
No. Our motorcycle accident attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and we only get paid if we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of your settlement or verdict. If we do not recover compensation for you, you owe us nothing. This allows injured riders to access top legal representation regardless of their financial situation.
Motorcyclists lack the protective enclosure that cars provide. There are no airbags, seatbelts, or crumple zones to absorb impact. Riders are exposed to direct contact with vehicles, pavement, and road debris. The smaller size of motorcycles also makes them less visible to other drivers. Statistics show motorcyclists are 29 times more likely to die in a crash than car occupants.
You may be entitled to recover economic damages including medical expenses (past and future), lost wages, loss of earning capacity, and property damage. You can also recover non-economic damages for pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and permanent disability or disfigurement. In cases involving drunk driving or extreme negligence, punitive damages may also be available.
