Motorcycle accidents often involve serious injuries, and riders often face a hopeless battle against the insurance companies. You need a Los Angeles motorcycle accident lawyer who will pursue maximum compensation for you or your loved one’s suffering. Driver negligence or road rage often places motorcyclists at risk of road rash, broken bones, head injuries, or even death. We’ll help you navigate through all the legal barriers and won’t advise you to accept a settlement unless we deem that it is your best option.

Why Contact A Motorcycle Attorney?

Most motorcycle accident cases fall under a statute of limitations, meaning you have a limited window in which to file a legal claim. In addition, unethical insurance companies may try to shift the blame on you or your loved one, claiming that you were reckless despite what really happened. The Law Offices of Jacob Emrani will place a dedicated motorcycle accident attorney in Los Angeles on your side who will conduct a thorough investigation of your claim, and represent you in court with strong evidence and knowledge of the legal process.

Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

Contrary to popular belief, most motorcycle accidents occur not due to motorcycle negligence, but due to the error on the part of other vehicles.

• Careless lane changing and left-hand turns pose a great risk to motorcyclists, especially at high speeds. Intersections are a much more serious cause for concern for motorcyclists than the average passenger car driver. Every intersection presents the chance of a driver making a left turn, cutting through the motorcyclist’s path. If you are a motorcyclist who was seriously injured in such an accident, you need to take the first step in recovering needed financial compensation by calling our firm and retaining a dedicated Los Angeles motorcycle accident attorney.
• Motorcycle accidents can also stem from motorists who are unaware of the practice of motorcyclists in California to take part in what is known as lane splitting, by which a motorcyclist can use the same lane as other automobiles.  This can confuse drivers, causing them to react dangerously.
• Drivers are often slow to notice motorcyclists approaching from behind or the opposite direction, and distractions within the vehicle compound the risk of an accident.
• Defective motorcycle parts also pose a hazard, possibly causing engine failure, blowouts, stalling, and other problems that can lead to disaster.
• Other risk factors include potholes, debris, limited visibility, slick road conditions, and precipitation.

Premise Liability vs. Governmental Entity

In the event that hazardous conditions caused your accident, your case may either involve premise liability or governmental entity.

• Premise liability applies to dangers on privately owned property.
• Governmental entity applies to dangers on public property such as city streets, airports, municipal transportation, etc.
• Rare cases may involve both types of cases.

Regardless of the category, both private property owners and the city are responsible for creating safe conditions on their respective properties. Our team of Los Angeles motorcycle accident attorneys can help you collect damages resulting from hazards on private or public property.

Post Motorcycle Accident Checklist

Taking the proper actions after a motorcycle accident can help you and your motorcycle attorneys to win your claim. You should absolutely:

• Collect evidence. Take photos of the accident. Get names, and insurance information from the other drivers, and contact information from witnesses.
• Report the accident to your insurance company.
• Contact an experienced Los Angeles motorcycle accident lawyer.
• Seek medical care.

In addition, you should not:
