Motorcycle Accident Cases We’ve Won
- $1.2 million for a San Francisco motorcyclist who sustained a mild traumatic brain injury after being hit from behind, but had no loss of consciousness, and was able to push his motorcycle to the curb and take an Uber home from the scene.
- Our attorneys won $900,000 for a cyclist injured when a driver made a left without seeing him. The at-fault driver had only $100,000 in insurance, and the client had $150,000 more in his own “under-insured motorist” coverage. He was represented by a prior attorney who wanted to settle the case for the available insurance policies. We were able to get many times more for the client by looking at the other party’s assets, and refusing to accept the insurance money alone. This took time – the other party had to sell off investment properties to pay – but it was worth it to get the client a fair recovery.
- Confidential Recovery for a client who laid his bike down when a car pulled out in front of him, where the rider did not even hit the car.
Motorcycle Accident Risk Factors
Unfortunately, there is a higher risk of accidents when on a motorcycle, largely due to drivers failing to see motorcycles when making left turns and lane changes. Too often, drivers of cars in California don’t look carefully for motorcycles in their blind spots, or simply fail to see an oncoming bike when making a turn. Other accidents happen when drivers follow motorcycles too closely. Many drivers don’t realize that motorcycles have much better stopping ability than cars, and follow too closely. When a bike does go down, the injuries can be severe, even with a helmet and a full set of protective gear.
What Compensation is Available for a Motorcycle Accident Claim?
In a motorcycle accident case, you are entitled to be compensated for all your related medical bills, whether or not they were paid by insurance, Medi-Cal, Medicare, etc. Additionally, you can recover for the cost of damage to your bike, for a new helmet and any damaged clothing, boots, or leather gear, and for loss of earnings. The largest part of a motorcycle injury claim is “general damages,” the compensation for pain, suffering, disability, emotional distress, inconvenience, etc. Since settlement is a one-time-only event in most cases, you should wait until the full extent of your injuries and healing is known. Settlements can include compensation for any likely future pain or problems, and any future medical expenses that a doctor says are likely.
What’s the Statute of Limitations on Motorcycle Accidents in California?
For most cases, the statute of limitations (deadline by which you must settle your claim or file a lawsuit) in California for a case for injuries caused by an motorcycle accident is two years from the date of the injury. In cases involving the negligence of a public entity, such as the state, a city, county, or other public entity, a formal written claim must be filed with the appropriate entity within six months of the date of the incident.
