Fremont Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Motorcycle Accident Attorney in Fremont, CA

Motorcyclists face a level of risk on California roads that most drivers never experience firsthand. Without the structural protection of an enclosed vehicle, motorcycle riders are far more vulnerable in any collision, and the injuries are often life-altering or even deadly. According to UC Berkeley’s SafeTREC, 583 motorcyclists were killed in California in 2023 alone, a sobering reminder of just how dangerous the roads can be for those on two wheels.

At Setareh Law, our Fremont personal injury attorneys are committed to helping motorcycle accident victims recover the compensation they deserve. With over $250 million recovered for injured clients across California, 60 years of combined experience, and more than 400 five-star Google reviews, we know what it takes to build a strong case on your behalf. We handle every case on a contingency fee basis, so you pay no attorney fees unless we recover for you.

How Is Liability Determined in a Motorcycle Accident?

Motorcycle accidents are governed by the same traffic laws as other vehicle collisions, but the unique dynamics of how these crashes occur make liability disputes more complex. California law gives motorcyclists the same right to use public roads as any other driver, and that right to fair treatment extends into any legal claim.

California also permits lane splitting under certain conditions, which frequently becomes a point of contention when crashes occur. Insurance adjusters and opposing attorneys often attempt to use lane splitting against a rider, even when the motorcyclist was operating lawfully. Building a clear, fact-based picture of how the accident unfolded is critical to countering these tactics. Our motorcycle accident attorneys know how to address these arguments head-on.

What Are the Most Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents?

Left-turn accidents are among the most common and dangerous collisions motorcyclists face. These crashes occur when a driver turns left directly into the path of an oncoming rider, typically because the driver failed to see the motorcycle or misjudged its speed. Riders often have little time to react and nowhere to go, so these impacts so frequently result in serious injury.

Rear-end collisions are another major concern, even at relatively low speeds. A motorcyclist struck from behind can be thrown from the bike and onto the pavement, resulting in severe road rash, fractures, or head injuries. Distracted driving is a leading contributor to these crashes, as drivers focused on their phones or other distractions often fail to notice slowing or stopped motorcycles ahead of them.

Does Anti-Motorcycle Bias Affect Your Case?

Negative assumptions about motorcyclists are unfortunately common in the claims process. Insurance companies may suggest a rider was speeding, reckless, or partly at fault simply because they were riding a motorcycle, regardless of what the evidence actually shows. These biases can affect initial settlement offers and, if a case goes to trial, influence how a jury perceives the evidence.

Effective representation requires attorneys who anticipate these challenges and know how to neutralize them. We focus on presenting the facts clearly and objectively, using accident reconstruction, witness testimony, surveillance footage, and other evidence to demonstrate what actually happened. The “I didn’t see the motorcycle” explanation does not excuse a driver’s failure to pay attention and keep a proper lookout.

What Injuries Do Motorcycle Accident Victims Commonly Suffer?

The injuries sustained in motorcycle accidents tend to be severe due to the lack of physical protection riders have. Victims may suffer from a wide range of conditions that require ongoing medical attention and can permanently affect their quality of life. Common injuries in these cases include:

• Traumatic brain injuries, including concussions and more severe trauma, even when a helmet is worn
• Spinal cord injuries that may result in partial or complete paralysis
• Road rash and skin abrasions requiring surgery and leaving permanent scarring
• Fractures to the arms, legs, pelvis, and collarbone
• Internal organ damage caused by blunt force impact

These injuries often require immediate emergency treatment, multiple surgeries, and long-term rehabilitation. The full scope of a victim’s losses, including future care needs and the impact on their ability to work, must be accounted for in any compensation claim. Cases involving catastrophic injuries require particularly thorough documentation and a legal team that fights for the full value of your claim.

How Do We Build a Motorcycle Accident Case?

A thorough investigation is the foundation of any successful motorcycle accident claim. Our team works to gather and preserve evidence quickly, before it can be lost or destroyed. This includes analyzing skid marks, vehicle damage, and debris patterns to reconstruct the sequence of events, as well as reviewing traffic camera footage, dashcam video from nearby vehicles, and cell phone records when distracted driving may have played a role.

We also work with medical professionals to document the full extent of your injuries, both for what you’re experiencing now and to fulfill projected future needs. If you were involved in a collision with a commercial vehicle, our Fremont truck accident attorneys can assist if multiple parties may share responsibility. In cases where another driver caused the crash in a car accident, we pursue all available avenues of recovery on your behalf.
