Motorcycle Injuries in California
Motorcyclists in California face a unique set of dangers. Whether riding along scenic highways like CA-49 or commuting through Sacramento traffic, motorcyclists are often overlooked by drivers, leading to devastating side-impact or rear-end collisions. The lack of physical protection means even low-speed crashes frequently result in broken bones, brain injuries, or road rash.
Under California law, motorcyclists are entitled to the same legal protections as other drivers, but insurance companies often stereotype riders as inherently reckless, even when they were not at fault. This unfair bias can severely affect injury claims. Additionally, legal issues such as helmet use, lane splitting, or shared fault often arise in motorcycle injury claims.
Without a focused legal strategy, you risk losing out on the recovery you’re owed. Timely evidence collection, such as dashcam footage, eyewitness accounts, and crash reconstructions, can make a significant difference in the outcome.
California’s two-year statute of limitations means injured riders must act quickly. The sooner your case begins, the stronger it can be.
An experienced motorcycle accident attorney can challenge unfair biases, secure critical evidence, and fight for the full value of your injury claim.
