Frequently Asked Questions
Is lane splitting legal in California, and how does it affect my case?
Yes, lane splitting is legal in California when done safely and prudently. However, insurance companies often try to blame riders for accidents during lane splitting. Our attorneys understand the law and can demonstrate when lane splitting was legal and when other drivers were at fault for failing to check their mirrors or making unsafe lane changes.
What if I wasn't wearing a helmet during the accident?
While California law requires helmets for all riders, not wearing one doesn't automatically bar you from recovery. We can still pursue compensation for injuries unrelated to head trauma and work to minimize the impact of helmet non-use on your case. Every situation is unique, and we'll develop the best strategy for your circumstances.
How do you overcome bias against motorcyclists?
We combat bias through thorough preparation, expert witnesses, and compelling evidence. This includes accident reconstruction, demonstrating the other party's negligence, and presenting you as a responsible rider. Our experience with motorcycle cases helps us select juries who can be fair and educate them about motorcycle safety.
What if the insurance company is offering a quick settlement?
Initial settlement offers rarely account for the full extent of motorcycle injuries, which can have long-term consequences. Before accepting any offer, let our attorneys review it. We'll ensure it covers all your current and future needs, including ongoing medical care, lost earning capacity, and non-economic damages.
How long do I have to file a motorcycle accident claim?
In California, you generally have two years from the accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, certain circumstances can affect this timeline, and evidence can disappear quickly. Contact us immediately to preserve your rights and ensure crucial evidence is documented.
What makes motorcycle accident cases different from car accidents?
Motorcycle cases involve unique factors: more severe injuries, bias against riders, specific traffic laws like lane splitting, and different insurance considerations. They require attorneys who understand motorcycle dynamics, riding culture, and how to effectively counter prejudices that could affect your compensation.
