Compensation for Motorcycle Crash Victims
Types of compensation for motorcycle crash victims include:

- Therapy and rehabilitation
- Out-of-pocket medical expenses
- Long-term nursing or home care, if needed
- Loss of income, benefits, perks and damaged career expectations

- Pain and suffering

- Emotional anguish
Many people are surprised to learn what their motorcycle accident claim is truly worth. You should receive fair compensation for pain and suffering and the toll that the crash has taken on your entire way of life.
Are motorcyclists treated differently by insurance companies?
Motorcyclists have the same rights as other accident victims. There is no deduction or reduction for the fact that you were a motorcyclist. You may claim the full amount that represents the harm that you have suffered.
Proving Your Motorcycle Accident Case
To prove a motorcycle accident case in California, you must present evidence of the following:
- Duty: The driver (or someone else) owed the motorcyclist a duty of care. Of course, drivers always have a duty to others when they operate a motor vehicle.
- Breach of duty: In most cases, the legal standard is negligence, or a lack of ordinary care.
- Accident:. An accident/crash must have occurred.
- Causation: The breach of duty must have caused the accident, injuries and damages.
- Damages: The victim has damages that deserve compensation.
Our lawyers know how to prove a case. We investigate and build the evidence as part of our representation.
Examples of Negligence in Motorcycle Accident Claims
Some legal grounds for motorcycle accident claims are:
- Failing to allow the motorcyclist to fully use the lane
- Turning in front of a motorcyclist
- Cutting someone off
- Tailgating, following too closely or harassing a person on the road
- Not being aware that motorcyclists may be present
- Speeding or driving too fast for conditions
- Inadequate vehicle maintenance; vehicle lights that are not working
- Vehicle designs that are unsafe that cause a crash, or contribute to its severity
- Poor road repair
- Drunk driving, driving under the influence
Another vehicle driver is the party most often at fault. However, there may be additional parties with legal responsibility like an employer of a commercial driver, a vehicle manufacturer or even a government entity responsible for road design and repair.
Serving Motorcyclists Throughout California
California has the largest motorcycling community in the United States. There were 952,977 motorcycles registered for use on the roads in California in 2021 (IIHS, Motorcycles registered). That’s 1.47 times more motorcycles than the state that ranks second for motorcycle ownership.
There were 474 motorcycle fatalities in 2019 in California. 14% of all traffic fatalities are motorcyclists, but motorcycles account for only 3% of vehicles on the road.
Even one motorcycle accident is too many. Each victim suffers from serious pain and financial hardship. Their life changes.
