Pines Salomon Personal Injury Lawyers | July 30, 2025 | Motorcycle Accidents
When you’re injured in a motorcycle accident, your whole world can be upended. You may find yourself dealing with permanent damage that prevents you from returning to work or temporary injuries that require months of recovery and rehabilitation. You might have broken bones, organ damage, or a traumatic brain injury.
The severity of injuries could impact your relationships and your ability to resume normal daily activities. In short, everything can change in the blink of an eye, leaving you unable to function or meet financial obligations.
The good news is that you’re not alone. The right motorcycle accident law firm can provide the legal services and support to help you through this challenging situation.
Why Are Accidents on Motorcycles More Dangerous Than in Cars?
According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), the total number of motorcyclists killed in crashes roughly tripled over the past 25 years, culminating in over 6,000 riders killed annually.
In 2022 and 2023, motorcyclist crash deaths accounted for an estimated 15% of all crash deaths, but because so few people ride motorcycles, this number is still about 29 times greater than vehicle passengers per mile traveled.
Aside from the fact that motorcyclists have a lot less vehicle framing and paneling to protect them, motorcycles also lack safety devices like seat belts and airbags, which are now standard in cars.
Even worse, two-wheeled vehicles are less stable and more likely to crash, whether they’re hit by another vehicle or subjected to poor road conditions. They are also tough for drivers to see on roadways, making accidents more likely.
There’s not a lot you can do about any of these factors. You can outfit yourself with a helmet (required for motorcyclists and their passengers in California) and other protective gear, and you can do your best to follow road rules and avoid common hazards.
However, you still face a higher likelihood of being involved in an accident, suffering serious injuries or death, and needing the services of an experienced motorcycle attorney.
How Can a Motorcycle Injury Lawyer Help?
When you’re involved in a motorcycle accident, you may not only be seriously injured but also completely overwhelmed. Unscrupulous insurance companies might take advantage of your tragedy to offer a low-ball settlement that won’t cover your costs or losses, or they might drag out your case with delays and denials until you give up.
A qualified attorney can help you in a variety of ways, especially when you schedule a consultation immediately. First, your lawyer will tell you not to sign anything that could negatively impact your chance of recovering damages. You should also avoid recorded interviews, even with your own insurance provider, while you may still be dazed from the accident.
An experienced attorney will help you gather evidence quickly to build a strong case and negotiate for a settlement or prepare for trial. They can also stay on top of filings to avoid missing deadlines, like the two-year statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit.
Most importantly, seasoned attorneys are aware of insurance tactics and have the tools and resources to fight on your behalf.
