Motorcycle Accident Claims in California

Since motorcycle riders lack the protection that other vehicles provide, accidents can lead to devastating conditions like traumatic brain injuries. If you’ve suffered minor or catastrophic injuries in a bike crash, you might be entitled to compensation for your medical costs, missed wages, and pain and suffering.

However, you’ll need to hire a skilled Sacramento motorcycle accident lawyer to get the damages you’re owed. At Triumph Law, P.C., our legal team has more than 20 years of experience presenting injured clients and would be honored to do the same for you.

Contact our personal injury attorneys today to schedule a free consultation and learn more about your rights following an accident.

    How Common Are Motorcycle Accidents?

    According to the Insurance Information Institute (III), over 82,000 injuries were sustained by motorcyclists in the year 2018 alone. In the same year, nearly 5,000 motorcyclists were killed in accidents throughout the United States. These statistics are based on police-reported crash data.

    Additional studies published in 2019 show that only 71% of motorcyclists wear helmets that meet DOT standards.

    As statistics show, fatal motorcycle collisions and bike accidents are very common. If your family member or spouse has sustained a fatal injury in a bike crash, you may be eligible to file a wrongful death claim on their behalf. Reach out to a wrongful death lawyer from our firm to learn more about the compensation available to you and your surviving family members.

    What Are Some Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents?

    Since motorcycles are much smaller than other vehicles on the road, even the most minor collisions can result in serious vehicle damage and catastrophic injuries. Fortunately, our team has filed claims and lawsuits for crashes caused by many different factors.

    A Sacramento motorcycle accident attorney from our firm will have the skills and expertise required to handle cases for collisions caused by any of the following factors:

    • Human error: Most motorcycle collisions are caused by other drivers. The majority of these accidents occur when a vehicle collides with a bike while changing lanes or crashes into a motorcyclist at a stop light. These crashes are generally caused by inattention, failure to check blind spots, and exceeding the speed limit.
    • Dangerous conditions: Sometimes, road conditions can contribute to crashes. Poorly maintained roads, road obstacles, improperly engineered streets, and inclement weather can all create the perfect storm for an accident, especially if other drivers on the road are not paying attention to their surroundings.
    • Defective or faulty equipment: In some cases, drivers might not be at fault. If an auto manufacturer overlooked vehicle defects, they could cause a malfunction, resulting in a potentially deadly accident. 

    If you were injured in a bike crash caused by one of these factors, a lawyer can help you build a claim and demand fair compensation for your losses. They’ll work hard to secure the damages you need to pay your bills and rebuild your life.

    What Kind of Damages Can You Pursue in a Motorcycle Accident Case?

    If you were in a motorcycle accident that was caused by someone else’s negligent actions, you might be able to recover damages with the assistance of a skilled personal injury attorney. Below is some of what you might be able to obtain compensation for:

    Medical Expenses

    Motorcycle crashes often result in severe injuries that require extensive medical treatment. Victims may receive exorbitant costs for hospital stays, surgical procedures, doctor visits, diagnostic tests, medical equipment, and physical therapy. Luckily, a motorcycle accident lawyer in Sacramento can help you get your medical bills reimbursed.

    Pain and Suffering

    In addition to receiving compensation for financial costs, motorcycle accident victims can also pursue payments for the pain they’ve endured due to their injuries. An experienced attorney can help you receive maximum compensation for the physical pain and discomfort you’ve been forced to live with.

    Lost Wages

    If you’ve sustained debilitating injuries, it is unlikely that you will be able to return to work for quite some time. Even if you used sick leave or vacation time to recuperate, you could still be reimbursed for the time you took off. If the injuries you suffered leave you permanently disabled, you may also receive payment to make up for your reduced ability to earn a living.

    Emotional Distress

    Getting thrown from your bike in a sudden accident may leave you with considerable emotional trauma and mental distress. You might even experience symptoms of anxiety or post-traumatic stress disorder in the months and years following the incident. If that happens, a motorcycle accident attorney can add these damages to your claim.

    Punitive Damages

    Punitive damages aren’t awarded in every case. Still, they may be considered if the driver who caused your accident was under the influence of alcohol, motivated by road rage, or behaving recklessly. These damages can punish the at-fault driver for their actions and provide you with extra compensation. 

    What Are the Most Common Types of Motorcycle Accident Injuries?

    Throughout over two decades of service, our legal team has helped motorcycle accident victims recover from many different physical injuries, including:

    • Road rash
    • Brain & head injuries
    • Spinal cord injury
    • Facial injuries
    • Broken Bones
    • Neck injuries
    • Burn injuries
    • Torn muscles
    • Soft tissue injuries
    • Organ damage

    If you’ve suffered one or more of the injuries listed above, we recommend that you file a personal injury claim or lawsuit. A motorcycle accident attorney from Sacramento can review your medical records and use them as evidence to get the compensation you need to pay your bills.

    Should I Hire a Lawyer for My Motorcycle Accident?

    While you do not necessarily need to have a lawyer to file a personal injury claim, there are several situations where having a lawyer can help you get a fair settlement. You’ll want to hire an attorney if any of the following statements apply to your case:

    • The other party is refusing to accept blame for the accident
    • The insurance company is denying your claim or has provided an unfair settlement offer
    • You suffered serious injuries as a result of the accident and required extensive medical care
    • Your case is particularly confusing or complex

    Even if none of the above-mentioned statements apply to your claim, you’ll still want to meet with a lawyer. A skilled attorney can ensure your claim goes smoothly and give you peace of mind that your case is in good hands.

    Can I Still Get Compensation If I Wasn’t Wearing a Helmet?

    If you weren’t wearing a helmet at the time of your accident, it doesn’t automatically mean you can’t recover compensation. However, proving that your failure to wear a helmet didn’t contribute to your injuries can be difficult and, if not handled properly, may lead to a reduction in how much compensation you can receive.

    If you weren’t wearing a helmet at the time of your accident, you should contact our personal injury law firm today to discuss your claim. We can help you determine how this may affect your personal injury case.
