Fatal Motorcycle Accidents in California
Motorcycle accidents in California can have devastating consequences, and victims or their families may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, funeral expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.
If you’ve been involved in a motorcycle accident or lost a loved one in a crash, it’s important to know your rights. California law provides a two-year statute of limitations to file a personal injury or wrongful death claim. Failing to act within this time frame could prevent you from receiving the compensation you deserve.
An experienced California motorcycle accident attorney investigates the crash, helps you gather evidence, and guides you through the claims process. Legal representation is critical to ensuring you receive the compensation you are entitled to.
