MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT INJURY ATTORNEY AND LAWYER IN PASADENA, CA.
We make your fight our fight
Motorcycle Accidents
California has more than 800,000 registered motorcycles and, with that, about 88,000 motorcycle accidents [2] per year. Motorcylists are more susceptible to serious injury because of the limited protection they provide and are up to 30 times more likely [3] to die in a collision than occupants in a car. This can result in broken bones to spinal cord and traumatic brain injuries. Whatever the cause of your accident, never settle for less than your case is worth. We are a California motorcycle accident law firm, and we are here to support you and help you get the compensation and recovery you deserve.

How Are Motorcycle Accidents Different from Car Accidents?

INJURED IN A MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT?
What to do After an Motorcycle Accident
1. Report
Report the accident to local law enforcement right away and obtain an accident crash report.
2. Get Medical Attention
Seek immediate medical attention, even if you think you are not injured. Being involved in a motorcycle accident can result in severe shock, so any injuries may not be immediately apparent.
3. Collect Important Information
Obtain the name, address, phone number and drivers license of everyone involved in the accident. Document license plate numbers, insurance companies and policy numbers. Also, record the police officer's name and badge number.
4. Document the Scene
Using your smartphone, collect video and photo documentation of the scene. Include damages, street marks, street signs, and directions each vehicle was driving in.
5. Ask Witnesses
Ask for the details and names of any witnesses present at the accident scene.
6. Call for Roadside Assistance
If your collision led to your car not being able to move, call for a tow truck.
7. File a Claim
Contact your insurance provider. While insurance agencies have created steps to walk you through providing important information, do not forget to call and speak to an agent to clarify any questions.

Common Causes Of Motorcycle Accidents
What Damages Can Be Recovered in a Motorcycle Accident?
Damages in a motorcycle accident will likely be similar to an automobile accident, but there are often increased or different costs. Damages are not limited to, but can consist of property damages and medical bills for personal injury. Here is what you can recover from a motor cycle accident claim.
Tips for Dealing with Insurance Companies After a Motorcycle Traffic Collision
Insurance claims can be difficult at best, but dealing with one that includes a motorcycle accident offers extra factors to consider and you should not try to deal with the insurance company OR give them a statement alone.
You should have an experienced California motorcycle accident attorney present to offer support and guidance through the process.
Motorcycle Repairs
Due to the size of a motorcycle, the condition of the vehicle will likely be far worse than other automobiles involved. It is possible that the motorcycle will be totaled and irreparable. In many cases, the rider will not have another mode of transportation available to them.
Medical Bills
The total physical damages caused from a motorcycle accident are often more serious than those obtained in a car accident. With the lack of protection that these vehicles provide, injuries in a motorcycle accident can often result in extensive life-threatening injuries that result in hospital stays.
Wrongful Death
Death rates for motorcycle accidents are much higher than they are for passengers of a car involved in a similar accident. A wrongful death lawsuit can assist in recovering compensation for the loved ones if the motorcycle accident ends up being fatal. A wrongful death lawsuit is not the first thing to come to grieving loved ones and we promise we will help you through a devastating time.

Frequently Asked Questions about Motorcycle Accidents
If you have been in a motorcycle accident, the very first thing you should do is make sure you address your health and safety. Make sure you are safe at the scene from other vehicles or conditions. Depending on the types of injuries, you may need to seek immediate medical attention by calling 911, going into urgent care, or otherwise being examined by a medical professional for your injuries. Next, as with most personal injury cases, evidence from the scene must be collected and preserved. For this, you want to seek legal advice and counsel to assist with preserving evidence before it is lost, destroyed, or otherwise jeopardized through the passage of time. It is extremely important to consult a qualified personal injury attorney right away to help and guide you through the upcoming steps of your case.
Absolutely. Although having insurance is required by law and important to have, insurance companies very often do not have your best interest at the top of mind. Having a personal injury attorney on your side will ensure that someone is focused solely on your rights, and will work diligently with you every step of the way.
Our experienced auto accident attorneys work on contingency fees, which means that we do not charge an upfront retainer fee or an hourly rate. We only charge a fee when there is a recovery from the case, meaning no recovery, no attorney fee. Our office also pays all of the necessary costs (such as filing fees, expert fees, etc.) upfront and recoups them from the settlement or verdict at the end of your case.
You should not accept a settlement offer without speaking to a qualified personal injury attorney who evaluates your case, the rights you have, and advises you accordingly. Many times, an insurance company will try to execute a quick settlement with an injured party before they are represented by an attorney, in order to pay as little as possible. This, among many other reasons, is why it is imperative to have a qualified legal professional evaluate your case.
Legal matters should be left to the legal experts. An experienced motorcycle accident attorney, like GBG Law, will evaluate your case, inform you if you need an attorney, work with you throughout your case, from beginning to end, and make sure your rights are protected.
As with many things, timing is everything. A claim may need to be filed
immediately with the responsible party or their insurance company. Also, claims against different entities have different requirements. For example, Government Claims have specific reporting requirements that an experienced personal injury attorney can help protect by making timely filings. Although the general statute of limitations for personal injury cases require a court filing within 2 years in California, different rules may apply depending on the facts and circumstances of your specific case.
