California Motorcycle Injury Lawyers

Bikers may look tough -- and many are. But in an accident, statistics show that they're much more likely to be killed or seriously hurt than a driver of a passenger vehicle. Drivers are protected by cages of steel and glass, air bags and seat belts; bikers have only their gear and their wits between them and the asphalt. Statistics from the Motorcycle Safety Foundation show that motorcycles are still account for about 2% of all registered vehicles, but their riders account for approximately 10% of those who die in traffic crashes each year. And as most bikers know from experience, research also shows that the number-one cause of motorcycle accidents is the failure of drivers in private passenger cars to even see the motorcycle. That study, from the University of Southern California, showed that the majority of motorcycle crashes involving more than one vehicle are the fault of a driver who violated the rider's right-of-way.

Motorcycle injuries can be very serious, including brain damage, broken arms and legs, internal damage and spinal injuries. These are disabling and life-changing injuries. They're also very expensive, requiring months in the hospital, multiple surgeries, physical therapy and other types of long-term treatment. Victims may be out of work for months, or even lose their jobs. Your bike may be totaled or need expensive repairs. If you or someone you love was hurt by a negligent driver who "just never saw" the motorcycle, you have the right to hold that driver legally liable for your injuries -- physical and financial.
