MOTORCYCLEACCIDENTS

Motorcycle accidents often result in severe injuries due to the lack of protection riders have, especially when compared to occupants of passenger vehicles. In California, where motorcycles are a popular mode of transportation, accidents involving negligent drivers, hazardous road conditions, or defective bike parts can lead to devastating consequences. Factors such as heavy traffic, a high number of riders, and diverse road conditions contribute to the risks by motorcyclists. It is crucial for riders to stay informed about safety and to understand their rights in case of an accident to navigate the complexities of the road effectively. If you or a loved one have been injured in a motorcycle accident, you have the right to pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages. Our experienced legal team is here to help you fight for justice and hold responsible parties accountable.

 

Who Can Be Held Liable in a Motorcycle Accident?

Liability in a motorcycle accident can extend beyond just the other driver. Potentially responsible parties may include:

• Negligent drivers who fail to yield, drive distracted, or violate traffic laws

• Vehicle manufacturers, if defective motorcycle parts contributed to the accident

• Government entities, if poor road conditions or lack of proper signage played a role in the accident

• Commercial trucking or rideshare companies, if a commercial driver caused the accident

 

Compensation You May Be Entitled To

If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, you may be eligible to recover damages, including:

• Medical expenses, covering emergency care, surgeries, rehabilitation, and ongoing treatment

• Lost wages and reduced earning capacity, if your injuries prevent you from working

• Pain and suffering, including emotional distress, PTSD, and physical pain

• Property damage, to repair or replace your motorcycle

• Punitive damages, in cases of extreme negligence or reckless behavior
