Motorcycle accident

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]
