There are specific motorcycle accident laws that determine your legal right to compensation. There are laws that govern how much you can recover on your bills that were covered by your health insurance and there are laws that govern whether or not your injuries were actually caused by the accident. Additionally, there are laws that place fault on multiple parties, which may negatively impact your outcome. It is important that your legal team understands the complexities of these laws and knows how to use them to your benefit. We’ve learned that law enforcement will often place a motorcycle rider at fault for lane sharing or lane merging without having conducted a thorough investigation. We have successfully examined and deposed countless police officers and proved that their investigation was conducted improperly and our client was INDEED NOT AT FAULT!

Our team has handled thousands of cases successfully and has received several awards for the work performed on the more difficult cases throughout the state of California.

Types of California Motorcycle Accident Cases We Handle

Untitled-22 11

We are widely recognized as California’s best Motorcycle accident law firm because we have successfully handled a variety of these accident claims. Each case is unique, and it takes experience and finely tuned legal strategies to overcome the hurdles standing between accident victims and a fair settlement.

We are seasoned litigators who assist clients in the following types of Motorcycle accident cases:

  • Motorcycle Accidents Resulting in Catastrophic Injuries

  • Motorcycle Versus Car

  • Motorcycle Versus Truck

  • Hit and Run Motorcycle Accidents

  • Tire Blowout Motorcycle Accidents

  • Motorcycle Accidents Caused by Road Hazards

  • Motorcycle Accidents Resulting in Wrongful Death

  • Motorcycle Versus Motorcycle

  • Drunk Driving Motorcycle Accidents

  • Failure To Yield Motorcycle Accidents

  • Motorcycle Accidents Caused by Defective Road Design

  • Motorcycle Accidents Caused by Mechanical Malfunctions

Duty of Care

It must be proven that the other driver owed you a duty of care and breached that duty of care. All motorists on California roads have a duty to drive safely and avoid negligent behavior that would put other people in danger. They breach this duty of care when they:

 

  • Fail to keep their vehicles safe
  • Break the speed limit
  • Drive while distracted
  • Make illegal turns
  • Drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  • Engage in other illegal or reckless behavior

If any of the above occurred, you have the right to pursue compensation for your present medical bills, future medical bills, past lost wages, present lost wages, past pain and suffering, future pain and suffering and other damages you have incurred as a result of the accident. This remains true even if you were partially at fault. Unfortunately, insurance companies will not pay you what you deserve, because you don’t know these laws and they take advantage of that. We take pride in what we do and take pride in getting our clients every single penny that is owed to them by law.

 

We know the strategies used by insurance companies and defendants in motorcycle accident cases to reduce their liability. Insurance adjusters might try to manipulate you into making a recorded statement that can be used against you. They might offer a low settlement before you know the full extent of your injuries. They might review your social media profiles for images that can be used to dispute the severity of your injuries. They go as far as hiring private investigators to follow you and video tape your day to day activities in an effort to minimize how much they pay you. You should never speak to the insurance adjuster, even when dealing with your own carrier, and you should not accept a settlement offer, without consulting an experienced motorcycle accident attorney. Countless times our clients have contacted us and we have recovered hundreds of thousands of dollars more than the original offer.

Case Worth

There are several factors that will determine whether your claim is successful and the worth of your case. Those factors include:

  • The severity of your injuries
  • The cost of fixing your vehicle
  • The cost of the medical bills you have incurred
  • The amount of income you lost due to your injuries
  • The cost of any future medical treatment you will need
  • Whether your injuries have affected your future earning capacity
  • Whether you required home modifications to accommodate your injury
  • The extent of medical treatment presently needed and needed in the future
  • Whether your injury caused scarring, disability, or the loss of a bodily function

Harvard Attorney Representing YOU – Setting Records in the State of California for People JUST LIKE YOU!

What we love most about our line of work is the fact that our clients are able to receive legal representation from the best of the best, regardless of their financial status. In other fields of law, clients are often placed at a legal disadvantage because they cannot afford a highly educated, highly trained and award-winning legal team. At Oakwood Legal Group, we work on a contingency fee basis, which means you will never pay anything out of pocket unless and until we win your case.

We have handled thousands of accident cases to successful conclusion. Many California auto accident cases are settled without going to court. But when choosing a personal injury attorney for your accident, it is important to know what kind of trial experience your lawyer can offer if your case does require litigation. Our experienced trial attorneys have set records in the entire State of California and we will work tirelessly to get you the compensation you deserve.
