Motorcycle accident
San Diego motorcycle accident attorney
Motorcycle crashes often cause serious injuries, and insurers may try to blame the rider. We document what happened, push back on unfair blame, and pursue the full value of your claim.
Help for injured riders
When a distracted or careless driver fails to yield to a motorcycle, the rider usually bears the worst of it, with injuries that can include broken bones, paralysis, or worse. We pursue all of your losses, including medical bills, lost income, and the lasting effects of your injuries.
Insurers sometimes assume a rider was at fault. We gather the evidence that tells the real story and present it clearly, whether in negotiation or at trial.
How comparative fault works in California
California follows a pure comparative negligence rule. Even if you were partly at fault, you can still recover, with your compensation reduced by your share of responsibility. That means an early assumption of blame does not end your claim.
Common questions
Motorcycle accident FAQs
What should I do after a motorcycle accident?
Get medical attention right away, even if you feel okay, because some injuries appear later. If it is safe, document the scene and collect witness information, and avoid giving a recorded statement to the insurer before speaking with an attorney.
Can I recover if I was partly at fault?
Yes. Under California's pure comparative negligence rule, you can recover compensation reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are found 20 percent at fault, you can still recover 80 percent of your damages.
How long do I have to file in California?
Most California motorcycle accident injury claims must be filed within two years, though claims involving a government entity can have much shorter deadlines. [CONFIRM: confirm the deadline that applies to your claim]

Patrick assisted me in my case for over two years. He fought for me to obtain a very excellent settlement and treated me like a family member. I will absolutely use his services again and recommend him to my friends and family. Thank you, H&H team.
Mr. Patrick is an excellent attorney. Great communication, and he explains the process. He always responded promptly and worked around my work schedule. I was rear-ended by an underinsured motorist, but he still got me outstanding medical care and a settlement. Highly recommend!
