Los Angeles Motorcycle Accident Attorneys
A motorcycle can be a fun, exhilarating mode of transportation, but an accident on one be very dangerous. Motorcycle accidents occur at an alarming rate. Riders can be seriously injured or killed in motorcycle accidents, as bikers are extremely exposed while on the road. Motorcycles offer limited safety features, and riders are unprotected in crashes, beyond protective clothing and helmets.
Motorcycle accidents can occur when they are least expected. According to figures from the National Transportation Safety Board, in 2008, 96,000 people were injured in motorcycle accidents. More than 5,000 motorcycle accidents resulted in the rider or a passenger being killed.

Common Causes Of Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents happen for many different reasons. However, the worst wrecks tend to have similar causes, which can include the following:
- Inattentive drivers: People in the other vehicles have to be mindful of motorcycles. If they do not pay attention, they can make maneuvers that put riders in jeopardy.
- Aggressive drivers: Some drivers make aggressive decisions in the face of motorcycles, especially when riders are using their rights to lane split.
- Impaired drivers: A person under the influence combines all the hazards caused by inattentive, distracted drivers and aggressive drivers, leading to more dangerous situations on the road.
- Bad road conditions: Rain, wind, and poor road maintenance create magnified obstacles for bikers, making them major concerns when navigating heavy traffic.
Motorcyclists understand that there is a level of risk involved in riding on California highways and, as a result, they typically ride more cautiously. If a reckless driver has caused your motorcycle accident, we will be on your side and help you hold them accountable.
You Will Not Be Alone In This Legal Fight
Pursuing compensation for an injury can be an isolating experience for many motorcyclists, largely because insurance companies can be so aggressive in assuming the rider was mostly at fault. Being the one on the motorcycle during the accident does not inherently make the accident your fault, and it doesn’t make your case more difficult. You have every right to be on the road, and we will fight to help you get the full and fair compensation you deserve.
Insurance companies do a lot to minimize their costs, and they may not respond to you at first. But, just know: when the insurance company does not respond to your claim in the way you deserve, we will make a point to fight.
