Motorcycle Accidents In The Los Angeles Area
Riding in the Los Angeles area means sharing crowded freeways like I-5, I-10, US 101, and I-405 with drivers who may be distracted or rushed. Stop-and-go traffic, sudden lane changes, and tight merges make it easier for drivers to miss a motorcycle in the next lane.
California allows lane sharing in certain situations, but many drivers do not understand it, and some react aggressively. After a crash, insurers may try to use lane sharing or a split-second decision to shift blame to the rider, even when the real cause was drunk driving, hit-and-run accidents, or other reckless behavior that leads to fatal car accidents. These arguments often need to be challenged with clear facts and evidence.
Serious crashes also happen at busy intersections in Downtown Los Angeles, Hollywood, and the San Fernando Valley when drivers turn left in front of riders or pull out without checking. Investigations may involve the Los Angeles Police Department or California Highway Patrol, and claims may move through Los Angeles County courts, depending on the circumstances.
What To Do After A Motorcycle Crash
After a motorcycle crash, prioritize safety and medical care. Move out of traffic if you can, call 911, and get evaluated even if you feel fine, since injuries like brain trauma or internal damage can be missed early. When the Los Angeles Police Department or California Highway Patrol arrives, share clear facts without guessing, and if it is safe, take photos or videos of the vehicles, roadway, damage, your gear, and visible injuries, and collect witness contact information. Be cautious with insurance adjusters who request recorded statements or push quick settlements before you know your diagnosis, recovery time, or lost income, and consider speaking with a motorcycle accident attorney before signing anything.
Practical steps:
- Get emergency or urgent medical care and follow up with specialists
- Request a copy of the police report when available
- Save damaged gear, including your helmet and jacket
- Write down what you remember and track pain levels and symptoms
- Talk with an attorney before dealing extensively with insurers
How Our Motorcycle Lawyers Help Injured Riders
Handling a serious crash while recovering from injuries can be overwhelming. As a motorcycle accident lawyer Los Angeles riders turn to, we take on the legal work so you can focus on healing, while keeping you informed about your case.
We then evaluate how the crash has affected your life. This includes reviewing medical records, treatment costs, and how your injuries limit your ability to work or manage daily tasks. In cases involving major trauma, such as brain or spinal injuries, we look at both current losses and the cost of future care and long-term limitations.
Our team deals directly with insurance companies, gathers documentation, and presents evidence of your injuries and financial losses. We evaluate settlement offers, explain your options clearly, and advise whether to continue negotiating or move forward in court if necessary. Throughout the process, we maintain consistent communication so you understand what is happening and what comes next.
Common Injuries & LONG-TERM Impact
Riders have little protection, so impacts can cause serious injuries with lasting effects.
- Head and brain injuries: concussions or TBI that can affect memory, mood, focus, and work.
- Spine and bone injuries: spinal trauma, fractures, and orthopedic damage (often legs, arms, ribs).
- Skin and soft tissue injuries: road rash, ligament or muscle damage, possible scarring or grafts.
- Long-term issues can include chronic pain, limited mobility, ongoing care, time off work, and reduced earning capacity.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to hire your firm?
We represent injured clients on a contingency fee basis, so you do not pay hourly attorney fees. Our fee is a percentage of any recovery we obtain for you. If there is no recovery, you do not owe an attorney's fee to our firm for that case.
When should I call a lawyer after my motorcycle crash?
It is usually helpful to speak with a lawyer as soon as you are able, even if you are still receiving treatment. Early guidance can help you avoid mistakes with insurers and protect important deadlines. We offer consultations so you can understand your options before deciding how to proceed.
What if the insurance company says the crash was my fault?
Insurance companies sometimes blame riders, especially when lane sharing or quick movements are involved. That does not mean they are correct. We review the facts, including reports and physical evidence, and we work to challenge unfair fault arguments when the evidence supports a different conclusion.
Will I have to deal with the insurance company myself?
When we accept a case, we generally handle communications with the insurance companies for you. You can refer adjusters to our office, and we keep you informed about offers and developments. You remain involved in decisions, but you do not have to manage every call and letter on your own.
