Meet With A Knowledgeable Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Motorcycle riders are more vulnerable than other kinds of motorists, and suffer a disproportionate amount of severe injuries and wrongful deaths when an accident occurs. Government compiled statistics show that 96,000 motorcyclists were injured in traffic crashes in this country in 2008 and 5,290 suffered fatalities. Due to the inattentiveness of car and truck drivers, and their failure to properly recognize or yield to motorcyclists’ rights on the road, motorcyclists are at greater risk than drivers or passengers of other types of vehicles.

Despite their reduced visibility relative to cars because of their size and having only one headlight, motorists’ failure to notice motorcycles on the road is no excuse for conduct such as sudden lane changes which endangers motorcyclists or causes them to crash.  Motorcycle riders have the same legal rights as those enjoyed by car and truck drivers, but unfortunately prejudice and negative attitudes against motorcyclists exist in the minds of many juries and judges who are predisposed to find motorcyclists at fault. It is therefore important to hire an aggressive and knowledgeable motorcycle accident attorney familiar with the unique issues involved in motorcycle accidents, who will work tirelessly to overcome those prejudices and obtain for you the compensation to which you are entitled.

The Law Office of Daniel H. Rose is a California motorcycle accident law firm that handles cases involving motorcycle accident injury or death claims. With decades of motor vehicle injury litigation experience, we zealously represent our clients and vigorously protect motorcyclists’ rights to the road. We utilize top experts in the field of accident reconstruction and medicine, thoroughly investigate all aspects of the incident and your injuries, and aggressively pursue compensation for your injuries.

What An Experienced Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Can Do For You

It is especially important to talk to a qualified motorcycle injury lawyer as soon as possible following an accident.  Failure to do so can result in the loss of crucial evidence important to the case.  It is best to contact us immediately after an accident so we can conduct our investigation right away before physical evidence is lost or witnesses’ memories fade.

If a motorist was negligent in causing the accident, you have the right to recover damages which compensate you for your loss.  Such damages typically include past and future medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost earnings, mental anguish, loss of enjoyment of life, loss of spousal relations, property damage, and other types of damages.  In certain situations, such as where the other driver was drunk, punitive damages are recoverable as well.

Do I really need a motorcycle attorney?

The other driver’s insurance company will typically attempt to make you believe you do not need to hire a motorcycle accident lawyer.  The insurance company will promise that they will pay you adequate compensation after they finish their investigation.  Do not be fooled.  This is almost always an attempt to take advantage of you by taking from you a recorded statement, having you see their own doctors, delay your conducting your own investigation, and otherwise build their case against you.  Then, after much delay, they will typically offer you an unfairly low settlement.  Do not let this happen to you.  In fact, it is best not to have any communications at all with the other party’s insurance company, but if you do talk with them be sure to not allow them to take a recorded statement from you.  Leave all communications in the hands of an experienced motorcycle accident injury attorney. 

We do not charge any legal fees or expenses unless we collect damages on your behalf.
