Motorcycle Accidents

In any accident involving a motorcycle and another kind of motor vehicle, such as a car, bus, SUV, or truck, it is usually the motorcycle rider and his or her passenger that sustains the most serious injuries.

Because motorcycle riders do not wear seat belts, they are more likely to be thrown from their vehicle and onto the road. Injuries sustained can be extensive, including the following:

  • Broken bones
  • Internal injuries
  • Head injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Burns
  • Lacerations
  • Road Rash

Statistics reveal that out of every five motorcycle accidents in the United States, at least one rider sustains a serious head or neck injury. 76,000 motorcycle riders were hurt in traffic accidents in 2006 alone, and California has one of the highest rates of motorcycle fatalities in the nation.

The Peck Law Group has successfully handled many personal injury cases involving motorcycle accidents and their related injuries in California, and we can evaluate your case for you to determine whether we can obtain a recovery for your injuries and your suffering. Even if you were not wearing a motorcycle helmet at the time of the accident, you are still eligible to file a personal injury claim if you were injured because another party was negligent.

Our personal injury lawyers have the skills and resources to handle your case. We will evaluate the extent of your injuries and send investigators to the accident scene. We will assess the road conditions at the time of the accident, talk to witnesses, examine the damage to your motorcycle and any other vehicles involved, as well as find out whether anyone else aside from another driver was negligent in causing your accident. For example, a traffic light may have malfunctioned and caused you and another driver to cross an intersection at the same time, resulting in a collision. Or, the breaks on your motorcycle may have been defective and the manufacturer may have to be sued for your injuries and damages.

We have successfully helped other motorcycle accident victims in California obtain recovery, whether through trial or negotiation, for the following expenses:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Medical bills
  • Future medical bills related to your injury, such as skin grafts, future surgery, physical therapy, and other kinds of medical care
  • Lost earnings
  • Lost future income
  • Decreased quality of life
