Who Caused Your Motorcycle Accident?

The driver who caused your motorcycle accident should be the one who pays for your damages. If only your case could be as easy to complete as it is to say what needs to be done. The chances of the other driver and their insurer denying any liability will be high. At which point, we will need to dig in, collect evidence, and present a strong case in your favor.

Evidence that we might be able to use in your case includes but is not limited to:

• Helmet cam footage
• Eyewitness testimonies
• Police reports
• Traffic cam footage

If we can find some sort of strong evidence that the other driver did something wrong, then your case will be in a better position. For example, we might be able to find footage that shows them changing lanes without using their signal or checking their mirror. Or there might be a testimony from another driver who says they were behind the other driver when they turned left through an intersection, directly in front of your ride.

Demanding Full Compensation for Injured Riders

Injuries suffered by motorcyclists in wrecks are often catastrophic. The damages related to such severe injuries are intense as well. The insurance company responding to your claim is likely to put up a fight solely because it will want to avoid paying a potentially large amount to you, even if it knows that its policyholder was the sole cause of your motorcycle accident.

Damages that we can list in your case might include:

• Hospital bills
• Physical therapy costs
• Lost wages
• Lifetime of reduced income capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Permanent disability hardships

Calculating economic damages like your future medical care can require the input of outside experts, like an orthopedic surgeon who can tell us how much your injuries will limit you for the rest of your life. Thanks to our strong reputation in local and statewide communities, our attorneys can easily network with expert witnesses as it becomes necessary for your case.

Can You Sue If You Weren’t Wearing a Helmet?

California requires motorcyclists and their passengers to wear a helmet whenever their rides are in operation. If you forgot to wear your helmet or chose not to wear it and then were hit by a driver, then your situation will be complicated. But you won’t be robbed of your chances to sue that negligent driver.

You can sue another party if you were hit without your helmet. However, they will have an easier time arguing down their own liability because they could probably say that your decision to not wear a helmet heavily contributed to the severity of your injuries and, therefore, the cost of your necessary medical care.
