Los Angeles Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Motorcycle Accident Attorney Serving Los Angeles

Los Angeles is notorious for its congested highways and aggressive drivers. Because of this, it’s no surprise that Los Angeles has one of the highest rates of motorcycle accidents, injuries, and fatalities. Furthermore, statistics show that motorcycle riders are at much greater risk of accident, injury, or death than passengers who ride in automobiles, trucks, and SUVs. There are a number of factors that explain why motorcycle riders are at a greater risk for serious injury or death than passengers in standard vehicles, such as:

• Motorcycles lack the weight, bulk, and protection of cars, trucks, and SUVs.
• Motorcycles are not equipped with as many safety features, such as airbags, roofs, seat belts, etc.
• When an accident occurs, motorcycle riders are thrown off their bikes onto the asphalt at excessive speeds.
• Motorcycles are harder for other drivers to see, especially at night or in poor weather conditions.
• Motorcycles can be easily side swept.
• Motorcycles are more vulnerable to poor weather conditions and road hazards.
• Because they are lightweight, motorcycles are more likely to become unstable or “wobbly” at high speeds.

Whether riding a motorcycle to work or just for fun, all motorcycle riders must exercise extreme caution every time they’re on the road. Because motorcycles offer passengers virtually no protection, many motorcycle riders sustain serious, debilitating, and life-threatening injuries when an accident does occur. These injuries can be extremely expensive to treat and very difficult to recover from. If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, you should contact an experienced Los Angeles motorcycle accident attorney immediately.

Drunk Driving Motorcycle Accidents
Drunk drivers place everyone on the road at risk, particularly motorcycle riders. A motorcyclist has only slight protection in the event of a collision with a much larger and heavier vehicle. If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident that was caused by a drunk driver, an attorney at our firm can help you seek to hold that individual accountable for his or her conduct, while seeking fair compensation for your injuries.

Types of Injuries
A motorcyclist may sustain serious, life-threatening injuries in an accident. Injury is more likely to the rider of a motorcycle than to the occupant of a car or truck because the motorcyclist does not have the protection of a steel frame, airbag and seatbelt to absorb the impact and prevent ejection from the vehicle. The serious nature of injuries sustained in motorcycle collisions make it all the more important to work with a lawyer to handle your claim. We can fight for fair compensation on your behalf.
