Motorcycle Accidents in California

After a motorcycle accident, you can’t leave your future up to chance. The insurance company may deny your claim or offer a low settlement; your injuries may result in a disability that prevents you from working, and you may not be able to recover and financially support yourself on your own.

When driving a motorcycle and getting into an accident most of the time the cyclist will experience serious injuries. Unfortunately, some of these accidents that occur are with drivers that are uninsured or underinsured. Meaning, there is no or not enough money to cover the motorcyclist’s injuries and damages. Here at The LA Law Firm we are used to seeing this, it does not scare us, that is why you need an experienced attorney that is used to handling these types of cases. When that occurs we use the cyclist UIM (uninsured motorist), that helps to cover the cost and any other suffering.

When insurances also do not like to pay up what is rightfully so of the injured party, our clients, they sometimes try to use the comparative negligence law. Meaning, Is a partial legal defense that reduced the number of damages that a plaintiff can recover in a negligence-based claim. For example, lane splitting, and speed would be used to try to undervalue the case. We are experienced with this kind of tactics of theirs’ and will go to bat for you.
