In many accidents, the point of impact is the front of the motorcycle which typically results in the most devastating and fatal injuries. As a result, costs are high, including physical and emotional pain, expensive medical bills, lost wages and property damage. You may also be left wondering whether you will ever be able to ride again. The anxiety is compounded if the accident wasn’t your fault or was due to another drivers negligence. California is also one of the few states allowing lane splitting which allows motorcycle riders to drive along the lane dividers in stopped or slow traffic. Unfortunately, drivers may be unaware and this has directly led to rider injury and death.

Factors in an accident must be identified to determine who is at fault, or the degree to which each party is at fault, and as a result, who is financially responsible. This determination can be complex, and chances are that all parties will not agree. It can become more complicated if the accident involved equipment failures, poor road conditions, public vehicles, or other obstacles. These complicating factors make having an experienced attorney on your side even more important.
