Do I Need a Motorcycle Accident Lawyer to Win My Case?
Not every legal matter requires an attorney. However, there will be occasions when legal representation will be of great benefit.
Being harmed in a motorcycle accident is one of those occasions.
Taking the risk of battling the opposing insurance company alone may not have the most desirable outcome. Insurers can be deceptive and present what may appear like a decent settlement to the injured closely following the motorcycle crash. The goal is to reach out to victims before they have had an opportunity to consult with a motorcycle accident attorney.
This is strategic and intentional. That offer is often unreasonably low and will not account for the injured victim’s future medical needs. Unfortunately, once accepted, the personal injury case is closed and a higher settlement can no longer be pursued.
In matters as serious as a motorcycle accident, it’s important for motorcycle riders to be fairly compensated for all current and future needs. This can include medical bills and additional recovery treatment like physical therapy, lost wages from being out of work, or newly developed mental trauma from the collision. An experienced motorcycle accident attorney will effectively argue these points to ensure victims are fairly compensated.
At Angeleno Accident Lawyers, it is our mission to ensure that each client is taken care of, not just from start to settlement, but even after the case period has concluded. That is why we strive to recover maximum compensation for injured motorcyclists. And, with a 99% success rate, our motorcycle accident attorneys have proven time and time again that they have the experience and skill set to make that happen.

California is an at-fault state. This means that the at-fault party who causes an accident is legally obligated to compensate victims for their losses.

Therefore, identifying who or what caused the crash is the first step in obtaining compensation.
The most common reasons motorcycle accidents happen are based on the following:
Negligent Motorist
A person operating a motor vehicle, while texting, under the influence of drugs or alcohol, speeding, or breaking any other traffic laws may be held liable for an accident. These vehicles can either be passenger car, commercial trucks, rideshare (Uber/Lyft), or other motorcycles.
Poor Road Conditions
The roadways in Los Angeles are notorious for being poorly maintained. As a result, even the slightest imperfections, like potholes, debris, or scattered construction materials, can have a devastating impact. Motor vehicle accidents caused by these components put the city or local government at fault.
Bike Maintenance/
Repair Failure
Auto defects, like tire blowouts, brake issues, or other vehicle failures put the motorcycle manufacturer or the last mechanic to service the bike at fault.
After the cause has been determined, it must be proven that the other party’s negligence did, in fact, cause the motorcycle accident. Motorcycle accident claims typically fall under tort law, which allows injured motorcycle accident victims to obtain monetary compensation from the at-fault party.
Our experienced motorcycle accident lawyers have been successful in proving fault against liable parties and recovering our client's compensation that is rightfully owed to them.
Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries
Regardless of whether the motorcyclist is experienced or inexperienced, negligent drivers pose a huge threat to everyone sharing the roadways with them.
The most common motorcycle injuries are:
- Fractures and Breaks
- Contusions
- Abrasions
- Deep cuts or Lacerations
- Spinal Cord Injuries
- Traumatic Brain Injuries
- Amputation
- Wrongful Death
Rider Safety
When sharing the roads with reckless drivers, accidents are inevitable. However, taking safety measures can significantly reduce the severity of motorcycle injuries.
First, always ensure the proper safety gear is always being worn. This includes thick clothing to help shield the body in the event an accident does occur. Bright attire also makes bikers more noticeable to other motorists while on the road.
Most importantly, always wear a helmet. Motorcycle helmets reduce the risk of serious head injuries by 69%, as well as the risk of death from motorcycle fatalities by 42%.
Although California law allows lane splitting, the maneuver can be very dangerous. Because the rider is in between two lanes, there is a possibility of being hit by neighboring vehicles. When a lane-splitting accident occurs, it is often due to the negligence of the driver. However, there are times when the motorcyclist made poor judgment when lane splitting, ultimately causing the accident.
If both parties are responsible for the motorcycle accident, that will fall under comparative negligence. This form of tort law reduces the amount of compensation a plaintiff can receive based on his or her contribution to the crash. However, partial compensation can still be recovered with the help of a knowledgeable personal injury attorney.
How Much a Motorcycle Accident Case Is Worth?
When shopping around for a motorcycle accident attorney, some may base their decision on which law firm can guarantee the best outcome.
As a motorcycle accident victim, you certainly deserve the best outcome. You also deserve honesty and transparency.
Because every crash is unique, the best way to receive the most accurate estimation of how much a case is worth is through a case evaluation. There is no average value for a motorcycle accident case. Therefore, any law office saying otherwise is either inexperienced or dishonest.
At Angeleno Accident Lawyers, we offer a 100% free consultation. During the meeting, we will discuss all of the details of the accident and advise the best legal options.
The following variables will affect the value of a case:
- Medical Expenses - Current and future medical bills from treatment and care
- Loss of Income or Future Earning - Lost wages from missed work
- Pain and Suffering - Serious injuries causing physical pain and emotional distress
- Permanent Disability or Disfigurement - Permanent physical or mental damage
- Motorcycle Repairs or Replacement - Damages to their vehicle
Ultimately, the more severe the motorcycle crash is, the higher the claim value will be. Compensation is based on the injuries sustained, as well as how those injuries negatively impacted the victim’s well-being.
California’s Statute of Limitations
Filing a claim as soon as possible can make or break a case.
In California, there is a deadline to file a motorcycle accident claim. If that deadline is not met, there will not be another opportunity to hold the other party accountable for their negligence. That deadline is referred to as the statute of limitations.
After being injured in a motorcycle crash in Los Angeles, victims have two years to file a claim against the other party. Under certain circumstances, exceptions to extend the statute are sometimes made.
Missed deadlines can be due to individuals being too injured to begin the process. Another common and very avoidable reason is simply that victims are unaware that they have a limited amount of time to file.
A dedicated motorcycle accident lawyer will share these details, as well as ensure important deadlines are not missed. Additionally, the more time that passes without taking action, the longer the defendant will have to prepare for his or her case. In relation, evidence will become more scarce or begin disappearing.
Angeleno Accident Lawyers offers a free case assessment to get started. After agreeing to a contract with us, our motorcycle attorney can begin the claim’s filing process. Also, we will file the motorcycle accident claim and process it at a quicker rate.
What to Do After a Motorcycle Accident
It’s advisable to follow certain steps after a motorcycle accident in Los Angeles in order to recover enough compensation that will allow victims to afford the necessary medical treatment needed in order to heal properly.
- Get to a safe area, away from traffic. If capable, move the motorcycle off the road to prevent a bigger accident.
- Call 911 to report the accident and request medical attention to be examined at the scene.
- Exchange contact and insurance information with the other party but do not engage in any further conversation and never admit fault.
- Take photos and videos of the accident scene, as well as any sustained injuries.
- Get evaluated by a medical professional. An EMT can examine an accident victim at the scene and treat any apparent injuries. However, it’s best to see a doctor following the accident for a full-body examination to check for any internal damage or delayed injuries.
- Consult with an attorney for free consultation and legal advice. Simply speaking with a lawyer can prevent victims from getting themselves into a bind and jeopardizing their motorcycle accident claim.
A personal injury lawyer will assist in obtaining sufficient evidence, identifying which party was actually at fault, and filing the personal injury claim in accordance with California’s laws and statute of limitations.
Partnering with a motorcycle accident lawyer improves victims’ chances of recovering maximum compensation.

Janet Krup
I absolutely adore this law firm! When researching lawyers in my area I felt like most of them weren’t truly invested in my case. They kept giving me what felt like very generic and robotic responses. But my lawyer at AAL took the time to give me honest advice about my car accident with realistic expectations of a settlement. I can honestly say that I was very satisfied with my experience.
Zoey de la Rosa
I had a wonderful experience with Angeleno Accident Lawyers. They took care of my medical bills, doctors appointments, and dealt with my insurance company. It was a relief having them taking care of everything because I quite honestly wasn't in the right state of mind to worry about anything else but my pain.

Eduardo Contreras
Caring, hard working and VERY helpful! I had a good experience working with Angeleno Accident Lawyers for my accident. Thank you for taking the time to work on my case! I had never been in a motorcycle accident before, so I had no idea what I could do about my expenses. After being referred to this law firm, all of my questions were answered. My case was handled efficiently, and my payout was much more than I was expecting.
Steve Patterson
Unfortunately I have had a few accidents in my day so I’ve worked with my fair share of lawyers. Hands down Angeleno Accident Lawyers has been one of the most professional firms to work with. They helped me schedule appointments with my doctor, deal with insurance, and even helped me find a mechanic to fix my car. I would certainly recommend them.
